Ratings and reviews

Please update your app with one simple fix. The auto zoom out after selecting and then unselecting a bike is so frustrating. When I go to a parking area where there's plenty of bikes to choose from, I zoom in to find which has sufficient charge but when I unselect one (as it may have low battery for example) the map zooms all the way back out. I know you can use the "nearby bikes" section but where I work, it's a 10-15 minute walk to the nearest bikes.

there is no option to cancel subscription in my account, you can only unsubscribe if you select "Get more minutes". If you open my account, you might think that subscriptions would be a separate option here, but no. Then you go check profile, settings and payment method, but there's no information about your subscription, you can't even delete your card to prevent renewal of a subscription. When I signed up for a plan it wasn't clear that it renews automatically. Borderline fraud. Disgusting

took more money 2.5 years after last using them!! i used forest bikes once in 2024, today a payment has come out of my bank again. i havent used them since as i was just visiting London and had ample money to pay for my ride at the time. The app does not let you delete payment details once it is submitted, only update the card details so they have free reign to charge you (even though i no longer have that card). a bit scammy.
