## Review summary

Most recurring complaints focus on payments and accounts. Debit cards are not accepted; many reviews say the app only processes credit cards and can show errors with debit cards. Users also face frequent account creation and sign-up failures. Payment processing problems include inability to add payment, network errors when unlocking bikes, and passes being blocked; some accounts are flagged or suspended with no refunds. A common secondary critique is lack of customer support options and unclear refund policies. Overall, onboarding and payments are the primary pain points, with mixed notes about service quality when functional.

### Cons

- Debit cards are not accepted; the app reportedly only processes credit cards and shows errors when using debit cards.
- Frequent account creation / sign-up failures with generic errors, preventing users from using the service.
- Payment processing failures and unlocking issues: unable to add payments, network errors, passes or bikes not registering, and some accounts being flagged or suspended with no refunds.
- Poor customer support and unclear refund policies (no phone support; reports of suspensions without refunds).
