[2012-12-25] A Google User: Simple but good |
|
[2012-12-21] A Google User: Very responsive developer and good app |
|
[2012-12-04] A Google User: Fantastic app Would be GREAT if you could update this to use the new vector maps APIs |
|
[2012-11-30] A Google User: Works fine for me. Never had inaccurate reports and you can refresh manually. |
|
[2012-11-12] A Google User: Useless app, not up to date I paid for this useless app to get real-time data, but I'm always arriving at stations with zero free spaces, despite what the app says. Only refreshes every five minutes or so, don't waste your money! |
|
[2012-10-12] A Google User: Great that the app is tablet optimized. |
|
[2012-10-06] A Google User: Excellent app Worth paying to upgrade to the full version to get real time info and favourites. |
|
[2012-10-01] A Google User: Great app. Unexpectedly international |
|
[2012-09-22] A Google User: Good stuff Very user friendly, no problems with the app. Problems with the data from the cycle schemes is a different matter! |
|
[2012-09-21] A Google User: Worth paying for Love this app - it works even when the official one doesn't! |
|
[2012-09-21] A Google User: Not bad! |
|
[2012-09-13] A Google User: Cycle hire pro Works well on HTC One. Pro worth it for the real time updates. |
|
[2012-09-08] A Google User: Works well in Paris area with one minor niggle- when in the east most part if the Velib area it defaults to the much further away Creteil area - easily overcome by forcing to Velib. |
|
[2012-09-08] A Google User: WiFi issues appear to be resolved |
|
[2012-09-04] A Google User: Essential commuting aid Does exactly what I need. It would be even better if it opened on my fave selections. |
|
[2012-08-31] A Google User: Tower Wonderful app. Love it! |
|
[2012-08-28] A Google User: Excellent I use it every morning to check availability and is almost always spot on, considering people use these bikes a lot. |
|
[2012-08-22] A Google User: Very elegant The combination of the widget and the full app works very well. |
|
[2012-08-21] A Google User: Brilliant Love it! |
|
[2012-08-12] A Google User: Great Love it |
|
[2012-08-08] A Google User: Nice app, bad data Well done but not always accorate. Bike and slot availability not in line with reality. |
|
[2012-07-31] A Google User: Great Rarely buy paid for apps, especially when there is free lite version available, but full version of this one is essential. Plus, no matter what others say, it's cheap when you consider how useful it is. |
|
[2012-07-24] A Google User: Helpful Keep it going |
|
[2012-07-21] A Google User: Excellent customer service. Great app. |
|
[2012-07-19] A Google User: Badly written software This badly written software repeatedly crashed my tablet. For the £4.99 asking price I would have expected more. Very disappointing. After installation I am certain other apps appeared to start acting weirdly until I uninstalled this garbage. |
|
[2012-07-18] A Google User: Was a good app, now steer clear Used to love this app, now it turns on wifi automatically, a feature you can't switch off, which means anytime you're in a WiFi zone which you don't have access to (eg train) you don't have data. Nice one guys |
|
[2012-07-15] A Google User: Pretty handy app. Runs nicely on galaxy S2 ICS and does everything you'd expect it to. |
|
[2012-07-11] A Google User: Reliable and excellent I'd be lost without it |
|
[2012-07-11] A Google User: Great app Saves me loads of time, |
|
[2012-07-02] A Google User: Good for Boris Bikes Works well on my Samsung Galaxy S2 and worth spending a few quid to get quicker updates. |
|
[2012-06-30] A Google User: Good app. Nothing to complain. |
|
[2012-06-26] A Google User: Brilliant app! Does the job beautifully. Beats cycling around from baby to bay looking for a free slot to return your bike! |
|
[2012-06-20] A Google User: Great App Good tablet layout, and nice system with the colour coding. The compact widget is a nice idea too. A resizable widget in future versions might be nice for when you've got more than 3 docking stations in your vicinity. |
|
[2012-06-13] A Google User: Useful Great for visiting unfamiliar parts of town, or finding the nearest free slots. I keep it on my home screen for one-handed access! |
|
[2012-06-12] A Google User: Nexus s Keeps turning my wifi on so unusable, please fix. |
|
[2012-06-01] A Google User: Ok Only selects bike parks by current location not by selected location therefore can't plan ahead before hiring.otherwise good. |
|
[2012-05-25] A Google User: Awesome! Love the widget but please, disable the auto-turn-on-wifi when the widget is tapped!!!! Freaking ANNOYING! Or at least put it as an option in the settings! Thank you so much in advance. |
|
[2012-05-22] A Google User: No longer useful Was previously excellent, but has failed to keep up with other apps using tfl data. Shame, as the interface is better than the official app, but the official app has correct information. |
|
[2012-05-18] A Google User: Great app! |
|
[2012-05-15] A Google User: Good Good |
|
[2012-04-23] A Google User: Excellent work Always found it as reliable as the source data. |
|
[2012-04-15] A Google User: Stockholm doesn't work No stations appear for Stockholm |
|
[2012-04-14] A Google User: Great app with great support! The app works really well. The information is well laid out, and the favorites in the paid version are a godsend. When the app was not functioning well for Montreal, I got a very quick response from the developers, and it was fixed almost immediately! |
|
[2012-03-23] A Google User: Great app. . . Now with full ICS support! |
|
[2012-03-06] A Google User: Brilliant app Everything an android app should be. |
|
[2012-02-12] A Google User: Thanks for ICS update |
|
[2012-02-11] A Google User: New version Finally works great with ICS. Thanks! |
|
[2012-02-11] A Google User: Great app Use it all the time. Generally very reliable these days |
|
[2012-02-04] A Google User: Great Easy to use, comprehensive info. Sometimes inaccurate info about numbers of free bikes left but that's not the app's fault, it's the Dublin Bikes that gives that inaccurate info. |
|
[2011-12-12] A Google User: A dream app superbly written Makes Brisbane's city cycle net easy. Like to see closer integration with Google mapping so destinations can be marked in relation to stations. |
|
[2011-12-06] A Google User: Great!! |
|
[2011-11-27] A Google User: Can't live without it! Well I could, but this widget is as for useful getting around London as my Oyster card. I love it |
|
[2011-11-19] A Google User: Love it! Works really well in Toronto. |
|
[2011-11-04] A Google User: Nick Good app. Sometimea data isn't accurate but that is TFL's fault. Also, app keeps opening wi-fi which is annoying, no need to. |
|
[2011-10-20] A Google User: Must have for anybody using the Boris bikes on their regular commute. |
|
[2011-10-14] A Google User: Cyclescheme Superb app! |
|
[2011-10-03] A Google User: Great app, cheeky pricing Good: interface, widget. Bad: TFL data, leaves wifi running. Paid for it once, now I have to pay again, so don't trust them. Better than Barclays app |
|
[2011-10-02] A Google User: Good but sloppy at times Great to find bycicle bays. Sometimes is not accurate on slots and bikes, but it has become essential for me. |
|
[2011-09-13] A Google User: Nice app |
|
[2011-09-13] A Google User: If you use the Boris bikes then you absolutely positively have to have this app. I could not be without it! |
|
[2011-08-27] A Google User: Great if you need a bike |
|
[2011-08-11] A Google User: Good app, but it needs to be able to cache the maps and not show bikes available that are damaged. |
|
[2011-08-01] A Google User: Good app. Does the job. Nice integration with maps and directions. Dodgy data, but that's probably tfl's fault. |
|
[2011-07-26] A Google User: It maybe that this app is great, but the data it uses (london) is worse than useless. Never ever accurate, makes it completely pointless. |
|
[2011-07-26] Rupert: It maybe that this app is great, but the data it uses (london) is worse than useless. Never ever accurate, makes it completely pointless. |
|
[2011-07-18] A Google User: Great app |
|
[2011-07-18] johng: Great app |
|
[2011-07-10] A Google User: very nice app. use it all the time but very slooooow when refreshing. |
|
[2011-07-10] Betz: very nice app. use it all the time but very slooooow when refreshing. |
|
[2011-07-05] A Google User: Don't bother upgrading, the paid version is never close to accurate. The free version is just as good |
|
[2011-07-05] GBDservices: Don't bother upgrading, the paid version is never close to accurate. The free version is just as good |
|
[2011-07-04] A Google User: Once again the information displayed was incorrect. Despite showing 6 bikes available there were none and even 15mins later it still showed 3 bikes |
|
[2011-07-04] Simon: Once again the information displayed was incorrect. Despite showing 6 bikes available there were none and even 15mins later it still showed 3 bikes |
|
[2011-06-29] A Google User: Unreliable. Download the Lite version. The London version never displays the correct number of Bikes and spaces at each bike station. This is probably the fault of Transport for London (where it takes the data from) but excuses aside - this app is no better than the lite version, which is free. Another problem I have with this app is that it automatically switches on my phones wifi - why it tries to connect to a wifi hotspot when you're outside is beyond me... and there's no way of stopping it. Save your money and download the lite version. |

|
[2011-06-29] DaF: All stations red and no free slots of bikes are shown for Dublin despite the ticked box. The free version worked great. |
|
[2011-06-27] A Google User: Turning on wifi automatically without the option of a disable is very frustrating. |
|
[2011-06-27] jono: Turning on wifi automatically without the option of a disable is very frustrating. |
|
[2011-06-24] A Google User: Works very well in Paris. |
|
[2011-06-24] Simon: Works very well in Paris. |
|
[2011-06-22] conan: Was previously excellent, but last couple of weeks has consistently displayed incorrect data. Doesn't seem to factor damaged bikes into availability |
|
[2011-06-21] A Google User: This widget is excellent but hindered by inaccurate data from TFL, otherwise would have been 5 stars. |
|
[2011-06-21] Alex: This widget is excellent but hindered by inaccurate data from TFL, otherwise would have been 5 stars. |
|
[2011-06-15] A Google User: Indispensable |
|

|
[2011-06-13] A Google User: Seems to work ok, but only manages intermittent updates to my Sony Liveview. Grrrr! |
|
[2011-06-13] Benglian: Seems to work ok, but only manages intermittent updates to my Sony Liveview. Grrrr! |
|
[2011-06-09] A Google User: App has direct feed to TFL so should be more accurate. Great for finding stations and user friendly. Recommended. |
|

|
[2011-06-07] A Google User: Great app for finding docking stations. Data not always accurate, so will be interesting to see if the official TFL feed is any better. |
|
