Smou Customer Insights

1. You need to have a Spanish NIE, dont wait your timeIf you are a tourist forget it, Came to Barcelona and randomly thought to go on a bike ride one night, was prepared to pay for it, tried to register and apart from needing an NIE number which a tourist wont have, it asks you to select a long term plan.

2. It's very convenient for paying for parking and I appreciate the large area this works in.Regarding bicing: Given that Barcelona is a hill city, the number of electrical bikes should have been higher.

3. With option to toggle between the views :)Excellent app that covers the vast majority of your transport needs in Barcelona! The only thing that's missing is the ability to buy 25h/50h/100h bonus cards through the app for parking.

4. In the app, please include a cancel reservation button, instead of stupidly punishing users for not making it on time.Stupid app, doesn't work for tourists.

5. Lack of understanding of travel patterns makes it very hard to find a bike in some areas and fills the stations in others.

6. After one month of usage, I lost more time searching for bikes rather than using the service.Yes, thank you! Finally improvement.

7. After that it's decently cheap I suppose, but only if you're in Barcelona for several months at least.Careful ! I wanted to put the option to NOT renew the subsciption automatically.

8. Makes no sense to walk for 15 mins until I find a bike that I ride for 15 more.

9. Could be activated automatically once the app is started it is showing electric/mechanical numbers, and if we have bike in use it shows available parkings.

10. wow, fixed! thank you very muchRidiculous! QR code reader doesn't work on some phones (new ones for that matter).

11. Obviously the renew contract anyway and charged me money.after last upgrade asking password each time when try using, very uncomfortable.
