Purchased a 1-day pass and successfully installed the app + enabled the NFC feature prior to our trip. Unfortunately the app was not usable: Could not get NFC to work (using a recent Samsung S21) and got a constant stream of server error messages. Had to call the support desk 3 times and they were definitely kind and helpful but overall Velib is an extremely painful experience, so would not recommend at all...

Unfortunately the app is not usable with a combination of app and server error messages. I tried to set up a new account about ten times but there was an app error each time. At this point I gave up on the app and tried using a kiosk on the street instead. The kiosk was stuck on the BIOS boot screen so it was also unusable. I've never had issues like this with bikeshare systems in other cities. It was a huge disappointment not to be able to experience Paris as I had planned for this trip.

Can't sign up. Told there is a problem connecting to the server, despite I have tried two different IP address. The app was last updated as of 7/22/2024. Unbelievable. The sign up process cant be continued even if briefly exiting the app to just check something else. Please fix. Merci boucoup
