The app crashes constantly, poorly designed app.

Darrin Roush

It seems to be working great

Alban Musa

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.

Yuriy Rusko

All manner of broken on latest Android. Too many problems to list.

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

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.

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.

Saby N January 5, 2017

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

Paul Klapperich November 7, 2016

This update is great! Seems like they addressed all the problems with the old app and included pretty much everything one had to go to the website for, plus added new features like route planning.

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.

Chad Kittel November 7, 2016

New version, new awesome Loving the new version of the app. Great new features. Easy to use and pretty to look at. #awesome

Jen Tomaloff November 7, 2016

Amazingly easy to use. All the info you need! So stoked about this app. Such an easy way to find a bike. Love that it can be used everywhere.

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.

Frank 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 September 17, 2011

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

A Google User August 31, 2010

Pinch to zoom works fine. The app does exactly what it says it will do - find you a station/bike.

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 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.

Steven Critchfield February 13, 2013

Meh What it does, it seems fine. Expected account info and more from it. So meh.

Joe Pinilla December 13, 2012

Nashville Bcycle Pumped about the launch in Nashville!! The app is working great for me!

A Google User April 30, 2012

Yay! Nifty app!

A Google User August 5, 2010

A Google User October 6, 2011
