Ratings and reviews

The App stole my money. I put a 50,000 won deposit down. I used a scooter once. Then, months later when I try to login to get my deposit back, the app is updated and the login screen refuses to load. From the looks of it, it's either a really poorly made app, or it's a scam.

Only reason i'm giving this rating is because you guys asked for 50000 won as a deposit to use the service because i don't have a korea phone number. I find that rediculous.

App doesnt show parking restriction zones when you rent the bike, only shows you what zones are restricted after you rent the bike, so sometimes you have to cycle further than you actually needed to because you can't park anywhere near where you need to go, defeating the purpose. Decent app in itself otherwise, bikes often have low battery.
