Used to work, now it's broken. It's a real shame, I liked being able to hire a bike by tapping a few times in my phone. Please fix it
Can't hire a single thing don't download its pointless
Does not say what missing perameters are when trying to fill in your address/card details so you are stuck, not knowing what is incorrectly entered.
Terrible. Took 15 mins to make an account and still wouldn't accept my card details.
This app doesn't work at all anymore. Cannot add my card ("invalid parameters"), while it was working fine before.
this is the worst app i have ever in my life experienced like die istg santander just let me give u money i just wanna ride a bike - "its so bad i wanna give you a zero but i cant so i give you a one"
Not accepting payments, card details are not saving, are made to be entered each time and pot luck if it will actually work.
The app doesn't recognise the nearest station, I could not update my bank details and the buttons / links stop working after each try so I have to reset the app. It used to just have issues with location but it seems to have gotten worse recently.
Useless. Never managed to get the app working total waste of time.
Really poor app that looks cheap, runs terribly and full of bugs. I can't actually pay for a cycle at the moment
