Boston Bikes — A One-Tap Hubway App Positive Reviews
Basic functionality good but not much moreMissing capability to search for a bike not where you are, major missing functionality. Also would like to be able to plan a ride..Clarkie 091177Version: 1.7
Minimal but AwesomeGreat app. Minimal but functional. Has key Bike-Dock avail info in close to real time..Andres I RodriguezVersion: 1.7
Periodic single day userLove it. Do it in every city that has one.
Unlike another review I read...no major problems ever.
Other than bike availability (a problem in every city) and don't LOVE this app. Great at telling you what docking station is close. But I have trouble looking for stations nor close to me (as in...when planning for the day or where to park the bike where I'm going). That's the only reason I did not give it 5 stars..Shel SilversteinVersion: 1.4
Beautiful, fluid, extremely usefulBeautiful interface that puts everything you need just a tap away. The short walkthrough doesn't tell you this, but the station icons on the map "fill up" with dark green to indicate how many bikes there are. Brilliant and elegant..Purple_frogsVersion: 1.2.3
Great ap until ads started showing upThe ads show up across the bottom of the screen hiding the bike/rack availability information when looking at the map... This seems to be an easy fix..Dave1252Version: 1.4
Good app but no need for constant locatorHas worked fine for me but I was concerned that this is always on locator service. No need for this and I don't remember terms changing. Give us "when using" option!.JonC.101Version: 1.4

Boston Bikes — A One-Tap Hubway App Negative Reviews
Significant bugsFrequently indicates free docks where none are available (seems to display broken docks/bikes as available). The band at the bottom of the Boston Bikes display shows the number of bikes and docks available at a station. However, ads often cover the band, rendering the critical information delivered by the app unreadable. Immensely frustrating..Matty on wheelsVersion: 1.4
Simply doesn’t workEndless loading, no map. Ended up at 4 full docks because of it..Rizzle72926Version: 1.7
Terrible system with blueToo many blue bikes at stations that is allowing more overtime fees across Boston proper. Rode my bike for 45 minutes and had dock the bike in Cambridge!!.Kid from bklynVersion: 1.7
Terrible appGood luck on figuring out how this app works..MplsmntimVersion: 1.7
Not for tourists or one-day usersUnless you have the annual membership don't bother renting a bike, save yourself a bad experience and a headache arguing with tech support.
Here's why: the electronic system at the kiosks constantly crashes down, which is the sitiuation at a very large portion of the stations. So, if you're using your credit card to undock the bike, you won't be able to do so unless the kiosk is working, even if there are fully functional available bikes at the station.
Now, if you call tech support for assistance they will send you to another station, which most likely won't be the closest one since that will be crashed down too, so you will end up walking 12-20 blocks to find a station that will be working. What's the point of renting a bike then?
Bewarned that they don't process full or partial refunds..George FickVersion: 1.4
Spotty ServiceI rent bikes and cities all across the United States. Never have I had such a problem as I do with the Boston bikes. I purchased a 24 hour pass & got my first bike and then returned it 25 minutes later. Couldn't get a bike out for the rest of the 24 hours as it didn't recognize that I had turned the bike back in. The bike was sitting in a rack and I couldn't rent it from the same station I returned it to..AdubclubVersion: 1.4
Needs to tell you how to map your routeWhy can't I simply enter my address and where I'm going and have it recommend stations to leave from and arrive at for the shortest route based on bike availability?.Sha Sha Sha doVersion: 1.4
Lies about open docking spotsOn my first day of using my annual membership, I tried to make two ahort trips. The closest station to my house listed on opening, so I took a bike. Unfortunately, the application lied, and the open slot does not accept a bike. Telephone support actually told me that my only nearby option was to return the bike to where I picked it up. They better refund my membership..Oy FoolVersion: 1.4
CONSTANTLY using location service even when app is killedEven if this app is killed (double click home button and swiping up) it's still using location services and draining your battery in the background. Unacceptable. If this is fixed would be a 5 star app..ShrafVersion: 1.4
Mostly wrongDock availability is often inaccurate causing you to think it's one dock open and it's actually broken. Fix these bugs as its the entire reason why people use the app, duh!.Raushanah_mVersion: 1.4
Don't require location access all the timeYour location permissions are too intense.
If you allowed me to set location permissions to Only While Using the App then I'd keep the app. You don't so I'm deleting..ILIKEqrCODESVersion: 1.4
Location services when not using appThis is BS. An app like this that tracks location when not using the app is garbage. There is no need for that..TviccVersion: 1.4
Outdated app, may slow down your phoneWarning message about it may slow down your phone. Please update..*FrenchFranc*Version: 1.4
Ads obscure critical infoThe advertisements now totally cover critical info on the map, like how many bikes and docks are available at a given station. Fail..E V NVersion: 1.4
Always uses location?!Why would this app always need to know where I am? No thanks..GladdekVersion: 1.4
