Terrible!! I could not get a scooter to work. I tried two. The first one would not go, and the second one kept screaming loud noises at me. I was charged $10!! No refund. I was only using it for 13 minutes trying to get it to work and I didn't move more than 3 metres. Shocking service. Both were fully charged too, I checked. I will never be using again.

app almost unusable on my phone constantly glitches goes blank and needs restarting. map didn't work at all. took 10+ mins to set up 4 person ride. it said my connection was unstable but other navigation apps like Google maps and Strava are fine so it's obviously not well designed. standard android phone nothing unusual ☹️
