Great idea, truly awful app – BIKETOWNpdx Review

I love the idea of bike sharing, and was excited to sign up and try it out. The sign up and registration was pretty clunky, with lots of long loading screens and unresponsive UI, but oh well, you only have to sign up once, right? Maybe using the actual app would be better. (Narrator: "It was not better.") I spent twenty minutes trying to unlock a bike -- I tried doing it on the bike itself, I tried reserving a bike on the app first, I tried everything I could think of, and in the end I just took the bus. Unfortunately, I foolishly preloaded some bike time on my account, so between that and the setup fee, I'm out $25. Pretty frustrating experience. I would not recommend this app to anybody.
