DO NOT DOWNLOAD! I almost ended with a theft felony. When I used the app two days ago, it clearly told me that I can drive away and everything is processed. However, since I check my bank account everyday, I found out last night that there is no such transaction. I checked the Ryd app and it shows me no transaction history. The app doesn't even show me payments that have failed. I contacted customer support and they asked me to settle the amount manually with the gas station. Uninstalled.

Hi, We deeply regret that you had an unpleasant experience. Before leaving the gas station, you must always wait for the payment confirmation in the ryd app (✅️ “payment successful”). Our support team has already contacted you via email to clarify this. LG Lea

Had no way of knowing there were "two ways of confirming" the app does not tell you that ahead. Been using it 2 years and the station near me apparently uses the pre-sale type. And now I drove off without paying. Because the post pay "confirm" window looked like the prepay "confirmation" window. 80eur fine! App help doesn't care. Its great until something goes wrong. Then f me I guess.

Hello Dan, We are sorry that there has been some confusion with the usage. Please contact the gas station directly for payment if you have not already done so. However, the app will show you step by step how to proceed. If you have not received a payment confirmation via the ryd app, you must ask and pay onsite at the gas station. Best regar...

Very good idea which saves a lot of time at gas stations, especially when you would have to wait in a line at the register. But talking about saving time: The payment processing in the app takes far too long. It's like the responding servers have only a dial in modem connection. Fix that and it's definitely 5 stars.

Hello Florian, We are very pleased about your positive feedback. Payments by credit card may take a little longer due to SCA. You are also welcome to add Google Pay for faster and easier payment. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you enjoy our service.

Hey ryders, ✨
Just a small update — but a useful one!

🔓 You can now buy a car wash ticket even when the station is closed.
📍 We’ve improved how your location is identified for more accurate results.
⚙️ And as always, we’ve made a few performance tweaks to keep things running smooth and fast.

🚗💨 Enjoy the ryd,
Anna from ryd
