Ratings and reviews

With Bicing this app just fails to show correct availability information. Especially frustrating when you spend 15 minutes at night to go to the station that shows bikes as available, but when you come there, all are in maintenance mode (red light). The app definitely should handle this correctly! Sometimes there's no station at all (N30, C/Castillejos, 184), but the app shows available bikes there! That's a shame.

Not syncing, wrong availability. 1st of all you have to wait 1 min untill bicing stations appear on the map. When they eventually do the info is wrong. You walk to the station only to find out that the available bikes are not unlocking or broken. Go to the next station, same thing. This is not because it is a public service that service has to be bad, should be the contrary, we are all paying. But developpers apparently decided to take public subventions without delivering. Too bad

The worst service I ever paid for. Electric bikes always under "maintenance", or none at all in the barrio, the brakes are deadly, almost worth accepting an accident will happen and a court case to follow. The mechanical bike are far too heavy to enjoy. The app is very slow. My only use was to use electric bikes in summer, extremely unreliable doesn't describe it. They are never available. The service is just so so so bad. Not worth paying the subscription. I can only dread the refund process
