Doesn t allow you to rent more than one bike at a time like the kiosks do Otherwise it works great             Good for One bike Mr. Mohawk

After clearly indicating that the charge was 2 per day and the first 30 mins were free we decided to hire the bikes We were charged the 2 pounds and were very happy until we were charged another 8 pounds 2 days later Apparently this is there standard operating practice A complete scam Don t touch     Absolutely appalling complete scam MARviKmark

After going through they re lengthy bicycle hiring process on the app which I had to do twice because of an invalid promo code and even after deleting the code had to re enter all the data over because it wouldn t let me proceed still you have to verify your phone number with a 4 digit code which you won t be able to receive because you re foreign and you don t want a roaming charge just to verify your phone Utterly a waste of time and a poorly developed app     Worthless if you re a foreigner Estomancer

This app literally crashes for me after an hour or so and then will crash every time it opens from then Have to delete and redownload in order to get it to work again Not ideal when you are in a hurry     Always crashing Mamela eish

Extremely useful app to avoid empty and full stations                 Gr8 NivHow

Poor UI Poor performance     What a shame zCIO

We were recently in London and used Santander bikes a lot They re absolutely terrific A great service                     Terrific DanSstl

Application keeps crashing every time you try to register     Crashes Bulmung

Crashes every time I try to put payment info in     Constant Crash MattWHN

I downloaded the app at one of the stations It crashed several times while trying to set up an account Even after restarting it he continues to crash When trying to use the map function you get about 15 seconds maximum before the app crashes while trying to pan around and find a bike station The bikes are a great idea but this app does not support them well I ended up using the touchscreen at the station and just wiping my credit card without creating an account     Unreliable Crashing Aussie wakeboarder

Just downloaded this app and it has crashed twice in less than 5 minutes Good thing I kept the old Barclays cycle hire app This app is unusable     Crashes all the time Hhttttt

Terrible As if designed by someone who does not use the bikes lacks the right functionality or information for a regular user 1 lacks functionality to extend rides when no docking station is available so you end up being charged money when you should not 2 not up to date on where docking stations are I actually docked at a station that did not appear on the app 3 finding a docking station is too fussy unlike the Barclays app you can t find a docking station by navigating the map the stations don t update if you shift the map left or right up or down you have to know the full post code it won t take SW7 or input the names it knows St James s is an area of central London but it thinks I mean Hammersmith 4 when you look at the map the icon showing how full a docking station is displays percentage availability not actual numbers unlike the Barclays app so you don t know if there is 1 empty spot or 10 the icon may look similar depending on the total number of stands     Useless Lacks the right kind of information and functionality ParisPerfect

Uploaded and used it today with a US credit card with a chip App told me where to find a bike and how many available When locating a docking station it informed me of available docks You must have internet on your phone                 Mr Calayrthebiker

Useless if you re not a UK credit card holder     Only works with UK credit card smithsd1

The old Barclays Bikes App wasn t great but it was much more useful than this app and I wish I still had it if only to locate stations more effectively This app needed a lot more planning and testing Difficult to use in so many ways Needs a substantial revision     Awful NYC is home

Who designed this app A five year old child could do a better job The Signup page is very confusing and lacking adequate instructions Having only one field to enter a password without a second confirmation field is big mistake The obligatory spam junk email avoidance questions are not 100 clear if you are actually agreeing to receive junk emails etc from TFL and Santander or opting out of this Then before pressing next step you are not given any indication that your smartphone will switch to camera mode in order to capture an image of your payment card This didn t work at all and the app wouldn t respond to the cancel or enter manually options What should be a simple process was very frustrating Needs a lot of refinement And disappointingly it only appears you can only essentially hire one bike at a time it s useless if you are with family friends and want to take out a couple of bike on the one account In addition the status of bikes or spaces available at individual docking stations displayed on the app is not a live reflection of actual conditions I m not sure what the delay is but kinda makes this element a waste of time unless it s updated accurately and more frequently     Useless Photonomad
