Evo Car Share for Android
Very buggy app, user input sections need to be reworked to reduce mistakes. Can't differentiate whether it's crashing, not connecting, or mistakes on my part.
I like evo in general. But the app is quite buggy. Car locations don't get updated correctly, so often the car location just jumps to very far away one once it is booked. Should probably fix that!
Great service, awful app. Barely works on a good day. Booking a car often won't go through and if it does the car will often jump across the city once you book them
Fine app, but eats data! 500mb in a month is outrages.
Huge improvement. App is now functional at least. Not as smooth, sleek as car2go, but does the essential.
Massive improvement. I can open the app again. I could do without the coat of paint, but it works again.
Books, opens the car, and ends the rental in a flash. Wish it had a button to zoom in where you currently are and find the nearest car to you. Big improvement over the last version.
Huge background data usage. Failed to unlock car at times after successful booking.
Crashes on startup
Very impressed!
The cars are great, but the app is horrible.The map is slow and not responsive. But cheer up, there is a video in the menu. Now I can watch a worthless video instead of book cars. #Fail.
App is absolutely horrible. After a few years they fixed the insta-crash on open, but while it looks slicker, there are now major problems. The car map does not update properly, letting you click on cars that are not available, showing you a reservation progress bar that disappears at random progress percentage while booting you back to the map and leaving the car pin there, or after a successful reservation, you find out that car is actually somewhere else. Server errors all the time. Still no radar. Just copy the car2go app. It's already a perfectly good working model.
Poor app for a great service. I would always carry the Evo membership card as the app requires you to book a car first to unlock. Booking a car usually takes about 30 seconds and can take up to 5 minutes. I can use Evo membership card to access a car in less than 10 seconds (faster than Car 2 Go), but I have to stand in front of empty car playing the waiting game with the app up to 5 minutes. The app only offers following functionalities: displaying the car/parking locations, reserving and unlocking/locking cars. No countdown timer for reservation or when they would expire, no usage history, no walking directions to the car.
Update: app still crashes on startup after latest update. Embarrassing New update doesn't even run. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, same problem, simply craps out with a message "unfortunately EVO has stopped."
The cars are great. The app is bad. Real bad. The people in customer service are pretty good but I'd rather have a functional app. Install car2go. At least with them you can rely on bad service and not get stuck with a false sense of security.
The update to the app works well when it works, but often allows me to book a car only for the booking to actually occur at a different location. Then at other times I select the 'book vehicle's option , get a progress bar, and then the car doesn't successfully get reserved. Come on you guys, this has to be killing your revenue. Can't VULOG put more engineers on this? Is it too expensive to get it done faster? Because what's more expensive is losing all these customers and the revenue.
Booking doesn't work. You'll try to book a car but the map will jump you to a random vehicle elsewhere, not the one you clicked on. Alternatively, you attempt to book, and it will flash the "booking in progress" and won't let you actually reserve the car.
The app is extraordinarily slow. And often it books the wrong car. I don't understand how this passed quality assurance.
You think you book a car close by, after confirmation you find out the booked car is miles away. Great cars of you can catch them.
The "bait-and-switch" reserve feature seems to be fixed, but it's still a bit glitchy.
I cannot even open the app with this new update. I should've read the comments beforehand. I use Evo in emergencies when im about to be late somewhere but now cannot even open the app to reserve a car. Please fix this ASAP Evo you have a lot of people waiting.
Why does the latest version need access to make phone calls? Not installing.
Latest update makes it prettier and finally has a reservation timer, but is very slow and laggy. App doesn't seem to refresh the map when you first open it so you can end up booking a car based on where it was, not where it currently is.
Cars often aren't where they say they are and switch location after booking (requiring re-booking). Use the web client on desktop whenever possible.
New version has fixed the random car thing, and is generally better - but still slow and spams you with server not responding messages.
New app is 99% BROKEN
It's getting better, but still isn't that great
It works. What more could you ask for?
OK.. now
much better now that its fixed
Greatly improved in recent updates.
Crashes now
New update, while great in theory, does not work. I can't see available cars until I sign out. Then, every time I book a car with this version of the app, it states it's outside the home zone no matter where I am, so I have to call in to end my trip. Please, pull this version from the app store and do some further testing.
This new update has been nothing but stressful. I use evo to get to work and booking cars has become impossible. Everytime I book a car 30 seconds later it says my reservation has timed out. It also doesn't show cars that are available. I've walked out of my house to the location multiple times and seen 6 evo cars when they didn't show up on the app. Please fix this app or give us back the old one!
Terrible update! "Reserved" aren't in the locations they showed on map and then they randomly disappear. I've never had an updated app change my entire view of a company so drastically. Did no one test this?
GARBAGE! I select a car on the map near me. The app hangs for ages, but the car gets reserved. Then the map shows the car in a completely different part of the city! I have to then cancel the car and try again. This last update took over a year and all they added was a reservation timer (which iOS has had since day 1) and in the process screwed everything else up. Location tracking is beyond buggy and trying to book a car is slower/more laggy than ever. Users have no other choice for accessing the service, so you're forced to use it.
New update is TOTALLY USELESS! Look for car in area. It says car is there at address expected. I book. Then car appears to be somewhere across town! Had to cancel all bookings and have no idea if cars are really there or not. App useless; would only be able to book a car I can see
app sucks, to put it bluntly. way too slow to complete basic functions such as booking cars, locking/unlocking vehicles, and ending trips (costing valuable time and money). locations of vehicles are not updated instantly so one can book a car and walk several blocks only to find that the car is on the other side of town. i've been a member for less than 2 weeks and the customer service/cars are good, but the app is such a critical piece to the experience and in this case it's so awful that I am already considering a switch to a more reliable competitor.
Seriously? What's the point if every time I try and use it, the app doesn't work. It freezes and I can't reserve a car. Pointless. In this day and age, you should be able to get this app working. Just copy car 2 go, they've nailed it.

Buggy, the app tends to crash all the time. Booking loading loops go on forever, and then the app ends up never book the car. The new auto end ride feature doesn't work properly either, I got over charged 30 dollars. The only notification I got from the app was "oopsie your car is still unlocked", and obviously, it's because it was supposed to automatically end!
