Chicago Bikes — A One-Tap Divvy Bike App Reviews

Killer App

Bobobinho

I don't often review apps but this one is top 5 for design and utility. Smart, useful, ambition matches function and it's handsome.

Please ignore the reviewer who asked for turn by turn... That makes no sense and the last thing this city needs is more divvy riders checking their phones while riding. I like the idea of an in app purchase to remove the ads and I'm happy to pay for good apps that are well thought out. You should make it more clear that it cost $0.99 to turn the ads off. All it did was prompt me to enter my password which is a little disingenuous and I'm sure there are people who do so without know it cost money. Overall, I love the ease of use of this app. I can tell the goal was an app that can present all the necessary information just by launching the app (no taps) and you did that. Kudos!

Wonderfully simple

This app is great for finding nearby Divvy station with a minimum off fuss. Perfect for commuting.

Awesome streamlined interface

Chicago Bikes really makes finding the few closest docks super easy… especially when using one handed on a bike.

Horrible

Nick batcheller

Do not use this service. The kiosks are overcomplicated to use and the 24 hour pass is very misleading. 24 hours = $7???? That's what I thought until I checked my bank statement and was charged an outrageous $54. I can rent a car cheaper then that! I mean c'mon. And seriously how far can you travel in 30 minutes when your waiting over 15 for the others in the party to rent their bikes. Will not be using this service again. Two stars because the bikes were easy to ride and were comfortable.

Review the app, not Divvy

Ignore the low ratings posted here as they are for Divvy and not this app, which is great. Love the design and ease of use. You can do it one-handed while coasting on your bike. Yes, Divvy can be confusing for the uninitiated who are trying to just rent and go. If you're not a monthly Divvy subscriber with a Divvy key fob, you have do have to take some time to read instructions and pay for your bike...about as much time as it takes to use the new parking kiosks on Chicago streets. I think the 30 min rent time is actually fine since no bike station is more than a 10 min ride away.

Great little app

Simple, clean interface lets you find bikes and docks quickly.

Extremely Useful

This app is extremely useful for all Divvy Users - tourists, occasional riders, and avid users. A timer is available so you know how long you can ride. I especially like the feature that shows how many docks/bikes are available at a station since I've been burned many times. Best of all, this app is free. However, I am only giving this app 4 stars because it can use your location at all times. I highly suggest developers considering allowing users to allow location services only while the app is in use.

Battery Drain

CaseyTownsend

App's background activity is using a significant amount of battery power when it is not even in use.

Very Helpful

The only thing that would make it better is if they worked with Divvy and made it so that you can generate a new code from the app. Boom.
