[2012-08-26] pezzer: Superb Better than the official app by a long chalk |
|
[2012-08-24] Bijou: A brilliant free app Thumbs up |
|
[2012-08-20] Hafizur: Happers Great app can't say Nuffin bad bout it... |
|
[2012-08-13] Smudge, Thorpedo: Good I use it for bixi in toronto and it seems to work great. Only problem is that it crashes if you turn off the screen while the app is running. |
|
[2012-08-13] Do: Very Useful Quite accurate. user friendly. Great app. |
|
[2012-08-07] pete: Way better than official app Way better than official app |
|
[2012-08-03] Sheil: Awesome. Sometimes a little innacurate. But the best app for bixi Toronto. |
|
[2012-07-29] Benji: Convenient! Great app. Going to upgrade for sure. |
|
[2012-07-29] Luuk: Helpt veel !! |
|
[2012-07-27] Emily: Love this Great app, works even when the official one is down! Nexus S, first with ICS, now running jellybean :-) |
|
[2012-07-18] Eran Klonover: Very useful service |
|
[2012-07-17] Tom: Cannot trust this app This app has been eating up my battery several times, even when not using it in the middle of the night (Galaxy S2). I also find very strange all the permissions that this app requires: why on earth would it need to activate wifi on its own, or access other running applications ? Use OpenVelib, lighter and more trustful ! |
|
[2012-07-17] david: Like it 2 weeks of using the app & cannot fault it, does exactly what it says on the tin!dx |
|
[2012-07-11] David: One of the most useful apps |
|
[2012-07-10] Rob: Essential in London Great app, does exactly what it claims to do, data is sometimes a little stale though likely a TfL problem not the app. Agree with the comment on better colour scheme to denote different station status (nearly full, nearly empty etc) |
|
[2012-07-08] ep: Love it I'm visiting Stockholm and I got a 3-day city bike pass. There are enough open wifi spots throughout this great city and the widget works perfectly. |
|
[2012-06-14] Sly: Fair enough Works well at spotting the stations nearby. What is not perfect tjough is that the reported amount of bicycles or empty spots is incorrect most of the time. Not necessarily the app's fault, but gpong to a station with no bike while the app reported there should have been 13 bikes is quite frustrating. Very useful for finding nearby stations though |
|
[2012-06-07] Paul: Does the job Appreciate the map, it is quite handy |
|
[2012-06-06] Don: Essential Find it useful every morning |
|
[2012-05-20] Jaun: Good for Lyon Velo! Excellent widget for LYON VeloV. Early days but easy to use even if I occasionally get to a station that has nowhere to park the velo. The refresh of data limited to 20 mins interval makes rush hour docking sometimes a little innacurate, but thats what you get with the gratis version. Overall a very useful app for Lyon VeloV users. Maybe consider to reduce the price of the pay version. |
|
[2012-05-17] Linda: Happy Vegemite Found this app very useful in the short time we have used Lyon bikes. |
|
[2012-05-14] Alan: Good but not brilliant, not always entirely accurate but still helps you out. |
|
[2012-05-11] none: Good little app. Works well. |
|
[2012-05-08] Alexandra: Works fine in London |
|
[2012-05-07] Uwe Rasmussen: Excellent Seems to be the best of these applications. |
|
[2012-05-05] B-Better: Shoeture UK Actually can't fault it. *applauds* |
|
[2012-05-02] kozionych: Very good And useful |
|
[2012-05-01] Fabrizio: Useful But 20 minutes refresh limit for the free version is really too much! Make it 5 or 10, it would be more fair (and usable). |
|
[2012-04-29] Dan: Very useful - better colour code? Works well. London cycle hire data sometimes out of date...not problem with the app, but TfL, as same on other apps. This is my app of choice over the competition. Could you make the colours different for Full and Nearly Full, and also for Empty and Nearly Empty? |
|
[2012-04-22] Sam: Great - get full version Best app for boris bikes. Auto refresh or "touch" refresh only comes with the paid for version. Only a quid. Bargin |
|
[2012-04-19] MARTIN: Great app. |
|
[2012-04-17] the 4/19/2012
|
[2012-04-16] Peng: Very good app Excellent widget. Shows the location of the various docking points and availability. But data refresh limited to 20 mins interval makes rush hour docking hard to find. I think the pro version is costing too much. Suggestions. Maybe show a Google Street photo of the docking place. Currently it's still a bit difficult to find the exact location. Overall a very useful app for users of London cycle hire |
|
[2012-04-14] Domenico: Great app! I sometimes get a "comms error" usually when leaving home and losing wifi. When this happens, I cant get a status as this is a feature of paid version. I've since upgraded to the paid version which addresses my previous comments. Montreal is now fixed! |
|
[2012-04-12] Deven: Better than the barclays app |
|
[2012-04-03] harvey: Essential Excellent and rearlly usefull app. |
|
[2012-04-03] alexandra: Easy to use and accurate. Really makes life easier. |
|
[2012-03-30] Sharron: A very helpful app for finding available bikes and docking stations. Also shows a map which is very helpful when I get lost in London. |
|
[2012-03-29] Tim: Great Superb app ... occasionally get caught out with a bike and nowhere to park it ... but usually find another slot nearby |
|
[2012-03-27] g4ogami: Works with BarclaysBike If only you could view your account details... and track your ride. Still a very good app though :) |
|
[2012-03-24] Tom: New version allows to run as app instead of only as widget. Much better! |
|
[2012-03-23] Alessandro: A Always accurate. No glitches. HTC wildfire |
|
[2012-03-21] CJEJung: Must have app for barclays cycles If you are using barclayscyclehire cycle this is a must have app. |
|
[2012-03-18] moto, beto, tobi, lucio, meski: Accurate and Easy to Use :) |
|
[2012-03-14] plamen: Nice Looks good,but the only problem I find is that the blue dot witch shows my current location is missing most of the times |
|
[2012-03-13] Richard: Much better than the official Barclays app Data is often inaccurate in London, but this is more of a problem with the bike system than with the app. |
|
[2012-03-06] Peter: Excellent Excellent |
|
[2012-03-03] Allan : Mr oragon Very good app |
|
[2012-02-26] Dan: Map issues on Galaxy Nexus Map view continually zooms out, so you can't use it! A great idea though. Was hoping to use on a trip to London. |
|
[2012-02-25] Steve: Class app Superb |
|
[2012-02-24] Nabil-K: X10 VELIB |
|
[2012-02-24] Thomas: Very easy to use. Normally pretty up to date as well. |
|
[2012-02-23] aliher1911: Crap Enables WiFi whenever you look at the map. Drains battery. |
|
[2012-02-19] Mark: Brilliant User Interface Early days but looks fabulously easy to use. |
|
[2012-02-17] Clio: Works fine but often incorrect information on bike availability |
|
[2012-02-15] joolie: Clever App No problems so far. Neat integration with navigation tools |
|
[2012-02-12] Sanguina: Now works on ics Excellent app. Would recommend |
|
[2012-02-11] Tania: Useful Looking forward to an expansion of cities. |
|
[2012-02-04] t: Great Used it in London and Paris. The numbers of available bikes/slots is not accurate, but for the rest works perfectly |
|
[2012-01-22] Joni Kick A Hole In The Sky: Does work for me No city has a valid map. Running ICS, so maybe there is a compatibility issue... |
|
[2012-01-13] the 1/20/2012 Using in London. Reliable and accurate. |
|
[2012-01-07] jklay: Cycle hire widget Have used this in Toronto and it works great: refreshes frequently and is accurate. Would recommend it |
|
[2012-01-06] Josh.Mason: Was great before upgrading Android to Ice Cream Sandwich Screen is split in half so its not possible to see the map. Was great before |
|
[2011-12-27] gerarde: Does the job Solid app. Works well and intuitive. |
|
[2011-12-17] Olivia: Cycle hire V good X |
|
[2011-12-17] Sarah: Great for finding hire stations. Initially the numbers never updated for me, but uninstall/re-install sorted that out |
|
[2011-12-11] Jack: Great! Love the map feature and color codes |
|
[2011-12-10] Mike: Decent app. A bit slow to update. Very useful to find nearest docking station. |
|
[2011-12-09] The Italian Stallion: Excellent Very helpful! The layout is nice too! |
|
[2011-11-29] Martin: DNot so hot on finding docking stations in London. The built-in map is quite clumsy. It needs integration with the Google Maps app, especially for turn-by-turn navigation. |
|
[2011-11-28] Pip: Good job Widget works well. |
|
[2011-11-17] Dean: Amazingly simple to use and accurate too. I am using the free version so i imagine the proper one would be even more fantastic. |
|
[2011-11-14] cheesenham: Decent app Usually a good indicator but not always correct. Still a good indicator and nice ui. I've only used in London. |
|
[2011-11-13] Stephen: Best boris bike app Best boris bike app |

|
[2011-10-31] Jozi: Great app Used in 2 different cities. 100% reliable |
|
[2011-10-28] manofidiots: Almost there... If only you can add bike path layer on the map that would be perfect |
|
[2011-10-22] Elisabeth: Excellent, handy |
|
[2011-10-17] Ollie: Fantastic This is what smartphones were made for! |
|
[2011-10-14] Lucie: I use it a lot, very practical and at least I'm not cycling around to find a docking as I used to :) |
|
[2011-10-11] sean: Data is completely out of sync with reality in paris. |
|
[2011-10-08] H: Useful stuff Very useful app.. The best part is that it help u find a docking st closer to u.. Love it. |
|
[2011-10-06] Mauricio: Great app Great and very accurate app. The free version has some limitations. however it's still the best app for cycle hire |
|
[2011-10-06] Brendan: Useless no data request allowed so the info is always out of date as it's only updated every 20 minutes. it's just nagware for the paid version |
|
[2011-10-05] Ilya Chevyrev: Fantastic little product, works great in Paris for the Velib service and is even fairly accurate at telling the number of available bikes at a station |
|
[2011-10-05] Paul: Great.. But real time availability costs extra ;-( |
|
[2011-10-04] Ariel: Too much battery use Although it has some nifty features, it uses too much the CPU and consequently the battery. A simpler app would do. |
|
[2011-10-03] Justin: It rules The best |
|
[2011-10-02] Thomas: Essential Brilliantly executed |
|
[2011-10-01] Neil: Does the job & looks good Does what it says, efficiently - I use the London 'boris' bike scheme every week. The stats are mostly accurate & UI helpful & intuitive. |
|
[2011-09-21] zynks: Clever & very useful Makes the bike scheme much more user friendly. Very well designed app. |
|
[2011-09-21] the 9/30/2011
|
[2011-09-20] Richard: Don't know how I would use the Boris Bikes with out this app. |
|
[2011-09-14] Donald: Excellent app. Slightly inaccurate with some of the numbers but I am using the free app, which is still very useful! |
|
[2011-09-14] Oniony: Very useful. |
|
[2011-09-13] Coddie: A fabulously useful app, I love it! Great for finding locations, even though the accuracy of the bike count is a little off. 5 stars from me. |
|
[2011-04-09] Ig: great application. Helped me huge to find hidden spots |
|
[2011-04-09] Richard: After some searching I found this app and it was easily the best "Boris bike" utility that I came across. |
