Rides are great. App is trash. Got a day pass but for every ride I had to do like 5 steps to add a payment method (PayPal) to my account, even though it would not even be used. One time the scooter stopped by itself in the middle of traffic. Only about 10% of scooters show up on the map and the location is almost never accurate. The alert function does not work either. Stays running in the background (location tracking) with no way to stop it unless you force quit or uninstall. Opposite of Lime.

App is awful. Cannot set SI-units (km). Time is rounded up. Parking is not always accurate - took ones 5 minutes to return the scooter while I stood on the right parking location. Group ride not advised, it takes up to 1 minute to unlock each scooter, while the time is running. Map is not very clear showing the nearest parking spot. Support is worthless, the bot offers only a few options and redirects to FAQ. It took much effort to reach support by email

Worst app and service ever. I just installed the app to figure out how it works. I pressed one of the Bird scooters icons and the meter started running. I could not stop it. After 20 minutes it stopped by itself and it cost me 4 dollars. Online help does not respond. Stay away from this one.
