Spotcycle App Reviews

Seems to work well with the bike share in my city

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 update lets you get directions to where youre going so its a lot easier to find the best route to the Hubway station next to the destination. Great update!

It now is quite a visual challenge to dee the available bikes/docks in the map. The tiny little number in the map pin makes me wish I had the eyesight of an under-50 year old. It really does make using it by my age group harder.

As of the last update the time from when I start the app to when I have current numbers for how many bikes there are at my favorite stations has gone from a few seconds to several minutes. Of less concern but still disliked, they did away with the icon on the main screen when Im viewing my favorites to show the others with just a single touch. They also make multiple stations morph into a consolidated total for the area much too soon when you zoom out. So now instead of being able to see all my favorites at once, I have to stay zoomed so far in that I can see only about 3 of them. Hoping to see another update that works more like it used to.

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.

The new pie chart map pins are a great idea, or would be if they worked consistently. Some stations show accurate pies. Other stations show an all full icon, but tapping on the station reveals that half of the docks are empty. Please fix!

Ive been using another app for the Boston Hubway system but this is so much better. It even caches all the local maps, bike lanes, and station locations so you can still figure out where the next station is even without wifi or 3G. Brilliant!

Limited experience, but worked perfectly for a day in Minneapolis. The bike/dock stations were right on the money in each location we visited. Nice features and interface, too.

No complaints. Works great and updates instantly. I watched someone check in a bike, and the app instantly changed. Icons are a little confusing but you get used to them.

Im trying to plan my ride in Montreal, and the bike paths wont stay on the map, despite my settings. If I were local, might not be a problem, but Im not.

Tried a number of apps for Bostons HubWay system, this supports that and more. The map of nearby stations is great, station info is easy to read at a glance, and the bike paths are a nice bonus! One can also create, save, and share their own bike routes, for commutes, tours, etc. Well Done and thanks for providing it for free!

This app is amazing, but it is crashing now when I try and sync my favorites of my 2 accounts btwn my Ipad2 IOS6 and IPhone 4S IOS 5. DEFINITELY WORTH HAVING BTW! Also: Suggestions- 1. RESERVATION OPTION- e.g Car2Go 2. AUTO TEXT MESSAGE when a bike becomes available or a doc at a station, yes it may not be there when we get there, but at least we know it just got there at that moment. 3. BIG ONE: Allow maps to DISPLAY ROUTES WITH LEAST AMOUNT OF INCLINE. Show map from one place to another with the least amount of hills and incline. ** I love the favorite groups of stations and the radius feature. ** This app is very accurate! ** The paid version is 100% worth having... even though I am having a temporary kink with the synchronizing btwn devices.

The app seemed to get better w the latest update concerning the update of available bikes however the colors they chose to detail whether a bike is available is hard to distinguish from the empty racks. The blue/black doesnt work. Bring back the red it was a much better color difference.

This is a great app but with the new update now it doesnt seem to work properly on iPad. I like the improvements in graphics from what I can see. Sometimes it crashed but functionality overall and data quality has been reliable. Unfortunately I had to delete it - the buttons dont all work and I cant seem to see my favorites any longer. Hoping for an iPad version!

I used this app on my iPhone constantly for a 4 day trip to dc. Its not at all buggy. Updated lightening fast. Make sure you turn on the show bike lanes feature as those were helpful. Only thing I would have liked to see added were metro stops.

No New York City maps? Are you kidding me? Deleted before I could even use it. Ill download something useful. Amateurs.

I love the pie charts for the stations in NYC. Far better than the app citibike provides.

Please make an iPad version!

The feature set looks nice, but the app very rarely works (on an iPad3). Usually, it starts, displays the list of favorite stations, then hangs. The hubway web page is a PITA to use, but at least it works reliably.
