Summary

This app receives predominantly negative feedback, primarily due to significant international user restrictions which prevent many from registering with non-Japanese phone numbers or IDs. Users frequently report encountering poorly maintained bicycles, suffering from issues like flat tires, rust, or non-functional electric assist, alongside highly unreliable bike return processes marred by full stations and persistent "outside return area" errors. While some users appreciate the widespread availability of stations, the comfort of electric bikes, and the value offered by discount coupons, these positive aspects are largely overshadowed by frustrations with payment failures, unhelpful customer support, and unexpected charges stemming from the app's operational shortcomings.
