While I enjoy the Boly scooters and most of the app experience, it takes FAR too long to load. For instance, when I go on a longer ride and the app closes, it takes up to 30s for the app to load and for me to end my ride. While 30s isn't a huge deal as a one off, it consistently taking that long means I'm paying a lot more over time than is necessary. Also, having it say "Made in Europe" on that loading screen is not having the positive effect I think you thought it would.

I'd love to rate this app higher, as it's been useful in getting better rates than Grab at some points in my travel, however, I have had three times where I pinned the address of my destination only to arrive at a completely different location, then having to get another taxi service to get me to the correct location (all in Thailand).

When the destination pin is off, it can send you to the wrong place—before confirming, adjust the pin on the map. For recurring trips, contact us via ☰ Account > Support so we can review. Thanks for sharing—we’ll keep improving pin accuracy.

Lisbon experience: cheap, and usually works, but unreliable. Multiple instances of "no drivers available" and offers to pay more to "prioritize" the request, which feels really scummy. The amount shown in the app differs from the amount charged, usually not by much, but adds to the feeling of flakiness. Way too many different car types (10+), unclear why and what the difference is. The overall feel is that of a cheaper, crappier Uber.

Hi! We get that seeing 'no drivers available' and then an option to prioritize would feel off, and it's confusing when the app total and the final charge don't match. If any specific ride or charge was different, please check it via ☰ Account > Support so we can review the details. We're working to make this smoother for you!
