Pros and cons of Spotcycle app for iPhone and iPad

Spotcycle app good for

Love the app! Map is there right away and even shows other stations arround you which you might didnt thought of. Good feat. for a free app. Very accurate and thats all what counts if the clock is ticking. A shame bixi still doesnt have an app like this out there.

Its a free app, so thats nice and it does everything I was looking for, however it seems to be a memory hog. Every time I use the app it tells me to re-start my iPhone as it is running low on memory. This is the only app that I get that with.

Very simple to use and straight to the point. Works as good as its paid counterparts. I really love how fast it updates the number of available spots and bikes. Would have given a 5 if the app could let me rename my favorites and re-order them.

Easy to use, many options for sorting the stations, reliable, and free. Thanks for this must-have app for any Bixi user in Montréal.

I have tried all the other apps and this is definitely the best one. The group feature is awsome and easy to use. Thumbs up to the developpers!

With the addition of bike paths, this is the app to have with you when cycling in Montreal, whether you use the BIXI bikes or not. Very congenial interface, easy to use, intuitive. Keep up the great work!

Some bad moments

What a lame new version on what was a really nice and powerful application when you were using cycles. The stations on the new map are less visible as they are aggregated way too much to make any un-zoomed view helping. And the worst, the most useful feature, making group of favourites (which I was using a lot) has disappeared. Overall, a great regression of user experience which will make me stop using it unfortunately...

I dont like my experience. There are better products out there.

This app creeps me out. It seems way more interested in gathering and displaying my personal information than actually helping me bike around. My advice: Read the terms of service carefully and youll begin to understand why this app is free…

Do NOT upgrade to this version. It crashes upon start up. Totally useless!!

Cons: Often points me towards stations that only have broken docks/bicycles "available" User unfriendly Sometimes does not show accurate information of station location Pro: Has search feature, showing closest stations to an address Free

The new app is 2x better looking and 5x harder to use. The auto-clustering makes it harder to see if theres a bike nearby. Its less clear to see when the bike data was last updated and I head to spots that dont have bikes when the app says it does. Overall, this app update makes me less likely to renew my bikeshare membership.
