Bluebikes for Positive User Reviews
✓ The bikeBig, heavy, monster bikes built for durability, good lighting system, (front & rear), there can be slight peccadillos from bike to bike, usually related to braking or shifting, (“this one feels a little different than the last one I was riding)”, the seat height adjustment has also taken some wear over the years, often some rust in the knob where the screw is. Only speaking as someone who got an annual membership back in 2011, when the bikes debuted and were generally in better condition..Version: 12.20.0
✓ System Works WellMy first visit to Boston & this was my preferred mode of transportation. From my experience the app was very accurate as to the number of bikes at each location I used. The system is easy to use & I definitely got my $’s worth considering how many miles I rode. The navigation through the app is as accurate as can be expected, taking into account the amount of construction in the city. Once you figure the city out it’s not difficult to go one more block & find the next one way street to keep you going in the correct direction. Or just wander around like a dumb tourist like I did most of the time..Version: 12.31.3
✓ Wicked easy to use.This app is awesome. Counts of bikes at each station are almost always right and it’s way easier unlocking bikes on my phone. Definitely recommend if your gonna be using Bluebikes a lot..Version: 12.28.0
✓ It worksIt does everything it’s supposed to do. You can see the bike and dock counts for every station and get directions to and from all the stations. It also has a timer to show you how long you’ve been riding so you don’t get overcharged.Version: 12.3.0
✓ Review in Boston downtownWe had a free adventure pass for July 4th. The bike rental and return was great . It would have been good if the directions were included in app. We often found that it hard to find a place to return the bikes , the gps on the app was off from where we were and google directions were hard to set..Version: 12.15.0
✓ No Complaints so farThe app does what it claims to do. Tracks the bike availability well as well as open stations. Would love to see them use the data from ride times and bike availability to have more open stations/available bikes. It’s a tough ideal but can always improve!.Version: 12.0.1
✓ Lue bikesIt is extremely easy to use the app and get a bike. The stations nearly always work. Sometimes they don’t because the key pad doesn’t work. But this is rare as is having a bike that has an issue. The bike are easy to ride, there are loads of stations and it is a cheap way of accessing the city. And get a little exercise..Version: 12.20.0
✓ Great way to experience Boston!Super easy to set up and lots of opt to pick up and drop off. We highly recommend the adventure day..Version: 12.15.0
✓ Good. One suggestion.Does almost all that it should. Toggle between Bike/Dock view is a nice touch. I really like the rewards program even though I haven’t figured out what the points are good for. I would prefer that the dock full gauge be an actual gauge so that if you look closely you can tell about how many bikes or open docks. Sure, you can see the #s if you click a station, but most smart phones are very high res and those of us with good eyes could avoid that step most of the time..Version: 12.20.0
✓ Blue Bikes rockHaving a great time getting around Boston thanks to Blue Bikes. Very user friendly app and excellent customer service. Some call times are a bit long and leads to confusion if there were docking issues (and you cannot get thru to operator) other than that, highly recommend!!.Version: 12.2.1
✓ Easy and convenientTrying to avoid public transit & Uber, don’t own a car, & eager to get out of my neighborhood. This has been fantastic. It took a couple of days to open my account due to a glitch, but it has otherwise been awesome. The bikes aren’t fast or fabulous, but they are functional & accessible. Now if only Boston fixed its crappy roads!!.Version: 12.20.0
✓ Pretty good, but App needs workI really enjoy the whole concept of “community bikes”, and this App certainly helps move this concept into reality. I’d say a few improvements would be to have “favorite places” so I can access Home, Work, Family/Friends more easily. Also, mapping routes doesn’t feel as intuitive as on other map apps. But overall, the app works and gets me from point A to point B..Version: 12.20.0
✓ Great service!I was skeptical at first, but it proved to be a good service. Plus, the bikes are really nice as long as they’re working. It’s really important for people to report when there’s something wrong with the bike so that they can be repaired. So, if users do their part, that should go along way to making sure bikes are repaired and proper time..Version: 12.31.3
✓ Honestly a pretty cool app. Try the Bike Angels featureIt’s so worth it in the summer. Cost marginally as much as bud and train fares. If you Don’t live near a train station like me, these bikes getting too and from the train are life savers. Plus the bike angels feature (taking bikes from overstocked docks and parking at under stocked docks) helps you get some of your money back..Version: 12.31.3
✓ Best Way To See BostonSo easy to navigate the city with this app! I recommend the monthly pass even if you are here for a week. We saw so much and didn’t get tired at all! There were stations even in the residential area that we stayed in so it made getting home at the end of the day a breeze..Version: 11.1.1
✓ Love it! Made my boston journey multiple times as enjoyable.Bluebikes has helped me explore boston and surrounding areas like no other. The flexibility to move around any part of the city with the confidence that if I get tired, I can park it at a nearby station and use another form of commute is priceless. I realised that biking is not as tiring and I was able to bike for more than an hour on many occasions without tiring myself. The quality of bikes, the nice and smooth gears and ergonomics helped in a lot of ways. I’m so grateful this service exists!.Version: 12.31.3
✓ First Trip to BostonWe had a family trip to Boston this summer. One of the best things about our trip was Blue Bikes. We were able to get around very easily and really enjoyed how easy it was to grab a Blue Bike and go. Very easy to use app, easy to rent and to return..Version: 12.31.3
✓ What a sweet and convenient offering!I love Blue bikes because there are several stations you can pick up and drop off bikes! The newer bikes are easier to maneuver, but all bikes are well-maintained. You have the option to notify Blue bikes of any bikes that are in need of repair when you end your ride. What a great way to get around!.Version: 12.31.3
✓ PhenomenalI've saved so much money and time on my commute since joining the Blue Bikes annual membership. My commute has vastly improved from dark and dingy subways to bright and breezy bike paths! I love how the app calculates calories spent and timed mileage. I've never felt healthier. It's improved my life in many ways PLUS it's eco-friendly and you don't have to worry about bike maintenance! Win win win! 🚴♀️💕.Version: 12.15.0
✓ Blue bikes is great, app could improveI really like using blue bikes to work out, go on a leisurely ride, commute or just get somewhere faster. I wish there were more socks available at high traffic stations: near Kendall and Porter. I also have noticed that the app does not always display the number of bikes/docks that are actually available on stations that appear to have been recently added on to. Love using the app to rent a bike, it’s so easy!.Version: 11.3.0
✓ Blue BikesThe app is great in terms of locating docks and available bikes. The route planning and navigation whilst riding is not quite so flawless.It would be great if the directions would clearly show family friendly marked bike lanes or off-road cycle paths. It would also be reassuring to know that the root selected by the app was the most cycle friendly. I suspect this is the case but it’s not clear..Version: 11.2.3
✓ Excellent service!I have used the bike sharing system in Melbourne (where I live) and Milan (where I come from). This one is the best. The bikes are modern, the network covers a very wide area and you just need your phone to get the bikes. The only suggestion I have is to add some stations close to Boston College..Version: 12.15.0
✓ Best way to get around Boston!I’ve used this FREE (45 minutes at a time) bike share program while visiting Boston for the last few days. The map app is easy to use, showing you where there are bikes and open docks available. Only suggestion is to change street names to black (not white) and bigger font…to make it easier to read..Version: 12.31.3
✓ Great UXFast, stable, informative. Good UX design. Does what it needs to do..Version: 12.5.1
✓ HelpfulThe app has worked really well! The bikes have been in good shape. They have a rain guard which is helpful for not getting mucky while commuting. They also have a front basket which is alright (could be a bit more defined on the biker side to stop things rolling out if you go over a big curb, but it works! Last wish is that I wish the bikes were pedal assist, but other than minor critiques, it’s working great!.Version: 12.26.0
✓ Great service/app but missing bike numbersI truly enjoy this service, it makes no sense to own your own bike with half the year being cold in Boston and little storage space. The only thing that’s missing is a more detailed ride history including the bike number used. I had a docking incident and didn’t know which bike I had to check to make sure it was docked correctly..Version: 12.20.0
✓ Overall goodOverall, accurate app and easy to use. Occasionally there is a broken bike and this is inconvenient if it looks like there is 1 bike left at a station. I also really liked using the route planning feature because it will bring you onto clearly defined bike routes. I would recommend blue bikes app..Version: 12.31.3
✓ Be like Nike...Just Do ItThese bikes were one of the best things I experienced in Boston/best purchase made. They were so easy to figure out, and they were a great deal. I would highly recommend getting the monthly pass if you are here for two days. It allows you to rent as many bikes as possible. The app is fantastic, it tells you how many docking stations are open or how many bikes there are at each station. These bikes were a total feet saver and allowed us to see SO much of Boston in an efficient yet fun way. The city is SUPER bike friendly. I HIGHLY recommend using the bikes. Just make sure you read the helmet law if you are under 16. Happy riding!! 🚲.Version: 11.1.1
✓ Pretty much perfectThe app team did a great job. Data visualized usefully, and always accurate. One tiny thing I would ask to have changed: make the “docks/bikes” switcher show the tooltip “available bikes” and “available dock spaces” when clicking the switch button to clarify..Version: 12.31.3
✓ I made a mistakeI was on vacation & wanted to rent a bike. I downloaded this app by accident not realizing that this wasn’t the app I needed, this was for a city I was not in. I made a purchase & then realized it was the wrong app for where I was. I contacted customer service & received a very nice response & my refund was back in my account within 24 hours of contacting them. It was such a positive experience that when I visit the city this app is for I fully intend to rent a bike with this app. Thank you for a pleasant outcome to something I feared would be a hassle..Version: 12.31.3
✓ Great city bike service!Having the ability to jump on and off bikes without fear all day has been awesome! The app and bike service was tricky for the first use and has been stellar since. I’d use this in every city it was available..Version: 12.31.3
✓ As an international visitor I love the bikesBut it would be good if the app could tell me where I can hire or borrow a helmet. Also it is hard to add credit as a visitor. I added my Travelex international money card but a day later they locked me out of my account because it is a debit card. I tried to add my Amex card but it is linked to my phone number in Australia which is a problem apparently..Version: 12.5.1
✓ Easy appThis app is great it was easy to enter in my credit card information and check out various bikes throughout the Cambridge and Somerville area. I was able to find stations along my route and was grateful to have a two hour limit with the all day pass. I would love if New York City followed in Massachusetts steps by allowing for an all day pass as well. I will definitely use the app again when I’m back in Massachusetts..Version: 12.26.0
