First time was a flop
Rubber2theroad
Walked up to the yellow bike hoping to pedal opposed to hoofing but the app couldn’t validate either if two cards. One a business and the other personal card. Took a moment and found a CS number, so good on them for a person to contact. Basically was told to bad so sad there seems to be a glitch, just try again later. Welp, I may do that but I’m visiting and for live here. So I went to the next bike share (green bike) next to the yellow one and they offered a free ride for the first roll. You’d think OFO would want to offer something for the inconvenience, but no. Nadda. 2 stars because the actually had someone that could tell me I was outta luck so catch ya on the flip side OFO. Otherwise it would have been uno Star.
App doesn’t work in Dallas

I tried two credit cards and the app couldn’t “decrypt” either one which is needed to enjoy the “free” rides. My brother tried on his phone with his phone as well, still no luck. Now it makes sense why so many OFO bikes appear to have been sitting in the same place for a week ... super disappointed we couldn’t make this work!!! We were excited to explore Dallas by bike!

Today I planned on trying Ofo for the first time. I downloaded the app, tried to enter my creditcard info, but kept getting “Unable to Decrypt Data” error message. My wife tried and had the same experience. We found two Lime bikes, downloaded their app and pedaled away on two green bikes in no time. Ofo, fix your app!
Complete Fail

Was going to try OFO for the first time with my son today and we walked all the way to the bikes and one was broken and did not show this on the app. It looks like somebody had been working on dismantling the other one. Difficult to find other available bikes in the Map and after reporting the bike as needing repair it now shows as available. Very bad first experience not sure if I’ll try this again anytime soon.
Ehhh... Iffy Steering Control

The basket, especially if you’re going to be using it, Should Not Be Attached to the front fork. This drastically affects steering and maintaining a straight line when riding. Very dangerous when riding among cars. The developers should take a hint front their nearest competitor (?hufffo).
Love this app and use almost daily

App Needs Work & So Does Service in DC

App: The app is very buggy. Here are a couple of quick issues: 1. The app is slow to unlock the bike; 2. many times the app fails to unlock a bike at all; 3. There is no way to cancel an unlock after you have submitted it if it is taking too long; 4. At the end of the trip, when one locks the bike, the ofo system does not communicate back to the app so the app shows your trip as continuing, even though it has ended; 5. In the situation described in number four, if one tries to in the trip manually, then the app communicate with the server and tell you the trip is already ended, yet the app continues to display the trip as if it’s continuing with no way to cancel; 6. Most annoyingly, the app continues to use your location after you have ended a trip even if you have no active trip. This kills your battery and continues to compromise your privacy. The only way to in this is to force quit the app by double-clicking the home button and swiping up to close the app; 7. Finally, there is no way to search for a location to see if bikes are near your destination. One needs to scroll the map manually, which is very cumbersome. Needless to say the app needs a lot of work. Service: If I were just reading the service, I would give it three stars. As I mentioned above, the bikes take too long to unlock. Capital bike share bikes and lock in seconds. It can take Ofo bikes minutes to unlock. Additionally there are three gears on the bike, and the low gear is not nearly lower enough to do the hills in Tacoma Park in Washington DC. They either need to gear the first gear lower, where they need to add five gears like bike share bikes in Seattle have. Finally, and this one makes little sense to me, minibikes show up on the map as available, but when you try to unlock them you get an error message telling you that the bike has been locked by the service for being wrongly parked, or that it needs maintenance. Any bike that is not actively available, should not show up on the Ofo map. This is probably the largest problem with the service.
