Nice app. One irritating thing to complain about - sometimes the GPS position on my device isn't very precise, i am right at the bike station, the GPS dot is about 30 feets off, and the app doesn't let me unlock a bike! This NEEDS a manual override.

Sinisa Dukic

Mostly decent. GPS sucks - I'm standing next to a bike rack for 5-10min repeatedly clicking on the icon to try let me take a bike out. I shouldn't have to coax it like that. Walking to another station. It's like voodoo.

Paul Klapperich

v3.2.5 is good! Easily 5 stars. You can get directions, log your trips, checkout bikes if you're near a station! The only reason I'm holding back a star is past history... if the next releases comes out without breaking anything major, I'll bump this review to 5. The only thing I find a bit wonky is traveling between networks. Say you visit Houston for a weekend. When you get there, the app knows you're in Houston, but still shows the name of your home share at the top of the screen and doesn't show any stations. You have to click the Hamburger Button, then "Show all Locations", then choose Houston. It would be nice if the app noticed you were 3000 miles from home and prompted you to switch to Houston (just like it does with your home share when you first install the app).

I couldn't even open the app. It would crash before loading.

Sunandan Chakraborty

Can't start the app. It's crashing every time I start the app

Lisa Guerrero

If it worked it could be really great. Several times I was at a station and it would not allow me to check out a bike because the gps would show that I was about a block away from the station even though I was righr there. The convenience of not having to enter in my phone # and wait for a text was my main reason for downloading the app in the first place. Also the "trip" info was constantly incorrect (one day my ride was shown to be 4.5 miles, the next day the exact same ride was showing 0.33 miles, google maps said it was 2.5!) So if they can work out the bugs it would be great.

We're sorry to hear that you've experienced issues with the BCycle app. In the latest version, you can track your BCycle trips (if you choose to opt-in) which will give you a very accurate ride mileage. We've included other updates in the latest version that should improve your experience.

Frank Mannarino June 27, 2017

Crashes every time I open it. I hope they maintain their bikes better than their app.

Kyle Krupa June 22, 2017

Map is broken on Android. All black. Horrible. How do you expect 70% of all smartphone users to be able to adapt BCycle lifestyle with no guiding points.

The app is unresponsive and slow. Others have complained about the map, but one of the advertised features is that it tells you how many calories you burned, how much CO2 you saved etc, and it simply doesnt. The trips tab is completely broken and will crash on occasion. Finally, the thing is a battery hog, so you have to make sure you close the app completely or it will drain your phone in a couple hours.

Steve Rice April 21, 2017

The map feature is very difficult to use, as it zoom out the a global view, the finally zooms into a citywide view before you are able to wrestle with it to find a location. It works, but barely.

B-cycle, LLC July 21, 2017

We're sorry to hear that you've experienced issues with the BCycle app. If location services are enabled, the map screen has a "my location" button which will zoom in on your location. Upon startup, the app will now zoom in on your selected city. We've included other updates in the latest version that should improve your experience.

M Martin January 18, 2017

Finding a bike was easy, but the telemetry is so far off - gps trace had me doing 8.6 miles, B Cycle had me doing 18.8. Seems like they're trying too hard to prove how much CO2 is saved, or the telemetry is just 100% off. My wife's bike had the same error.

B-cycle, LLC July 21, 2017

Saby N January 5, 2017

Better Better than the last, but where's the estimated time to bike from location to location.

B-cycle, LLC July 21, 2017

Thanks for the feedback! In the most recent version, we included an estimated travel time when getting directions. We hope that the BCycle app is getting you riding faster!

November 16, 2016

"upgrade' to 3.0 from 2.0 has left me with a useless app. map won't show me any stations. When I hit the button in the lower right, which appears to send me to a screen to check out a bike, the app just crashes. Wish I hadn't upgraded.

John Dyer April 10, 2014

Functional Kind of a waste of an app. It's simply a webview to the Google map on the website with the stations. It'd be neat to be able to store your bcycle card via NFC and have it list the stations and filter by available docks. It's pretty obvious they paid a company a small amount of money just to 'have an app' rather than make something awesome. Hopefully there's a better version in the works.

Stephen Strong November 21, 2016

Just uninstalled after installation. App checks my accounts on my phone. NO App gets notified when my phone is started. NO Get rid of these and I'll put app back on. BTW- I LOVE BCycle in Denver. I'll just walk to the two or three stations close by and find a bike. Not that big a deal.

Andrew Wingfield July 11, 2014

This app simply doesn't work. I love Denver b-cycle and am an avid user. But this app simply doesn't work. Upon download and selection of Denver as my city, this app did not show any bcycle pick-up spots or information. Such a disappointment!

Ralph Villafranca November 16, 2013

Does not work properly, no star ratings There are no settings for this App related to wi-fi vs. Mobile Data. I'm clearly on-line when I download the App, yet...you tell me I have no data connection. So when I go home, connect to wi-fi and now you give me sites when I'm no where near B-cycle locations...uninstalled this worthless App.

Dominic Zarlengo November 3, 2015

Fine I guess It seems like empty stations don't show up which is foolish. If I have a bcycle and am looking for a destination station, I need to see all stations, especially empty ones.

F Lehnerz June 1, 2015

Outdated, doesn't work This app appears to be very old and outdated. Also it's really just a glorified web viewer of a Google Map however it doesn't display any of the BCycle stations.

Rex Koontz January 1, 2014

It Works - All the time After the latest update this app has worked each and every time I have needed it - which is 5-10 times a week. I have no complaints - pinch and zoom works, the availability is accurate, and it lets me know when a kiosk is out of order immediately.

Chris Buckreus July 9, 2015

Pointless Only purpose of the app is to locate a kiosk on a map of the nearby area. If you're already at a kiosk.. There's no point.

True_Will_Power April 8, 2015

Worst app ever It doesn't shows available docks correctly.

Diego Gonzalez March 25, 2015

It's not bad It tells you where the stations are but lacks the ability to tell you where you are relative to them in an efficient manner.

Jared Miller August 20, 2015

Great app and service I use Bcycle all the time in KC and this app is great for me when trying to find a bike.

Justin Gero August 1, 2015

Does not work.

kate calimquim February 4, 2015

Useless.

David Rastelli March 15, 2014

Hard to load locations at sxsw in Austin. Probably because it uses too much data.

Adam Pryce May 21, 2013

Overall Great Overall this app works great! It's really handy to stop for a moment and consult the app when I'm trying to get to a station I'm not familiar with. 2 new features: 1) Add Google Maps' Bicycle Path layer on your map. It would help immensely to not have to switch back and forth between the apps. 2) Cache the station locations. It can take a long time to load the same 100 data points each time, but it's not like they move (often) anyway.

A Google User November 18, 2012

Very basic Would love to see account information and time since start of rental. Locations don't have addresses or cross-streets, only the landmark, so it is difficult to find them sometimes. Biggest issue is that sometimes the scale for the map and location pins is different so you have to force close and restart the app because nothing matches up. Mostly noticed that with flaky data connection.

A Google User June 28, 2012

Doesn't work with Sprint 4G, only 3G/WiFi The app gives a network error if on 4G (Epic Touch 4G). Works fine if on 3G or WiFi. Please fix.

A Google User April 2, 2012

Mobile Challenged The home screen has just two options: a)find a bike ~or~ b) visit our web page. Not very handy. Since the B Cycle website is a bandwidth hog and not mobile friendly I am still frustrated in accessing my account.

A Google User August 11, 2011

Great app It's great to know if there will be a space to park your bike when you get there!

A Google User September 17, 2011

Basic Basic, but good at what it does. Would like a way to see account info..

A Google User April 17, 2012

Works as advertised Helps find bikes/stations in Denver. Very helpful when friends come to visit.

A Google User August 19, 2011

Basic app Does what you need.
