No "Birds" have been located in the areas shown on the map, or if when in charger mode they're available to pick up, they still are not at the location. I spent 2 hours the other night trying to find "Birds" to charge and only found "one" in the wild to capture that was not even showing available on the map, very disappointed. Not sure how the problem can be fixed, but it needs to be as soon as possible so the "charger people" don't waste gas.

Broken. Took $20 from my credit card when I clicked only $5. Then, when I try to turn off auto-reload, it doesn't let me. Contacted customer service about the issue, got ne help - sent multiple emails with no help. Eventually they just told me to "restart the app," which of course didn't work. I asked them to change it on their end and said they can't. Terrible app, terrible customer service, terrible company.

Been a fan for a long time, but the new "Slow Zone" and "Parking Zone" features are awful. There is no indication when you open the app or when you unlock a scooter that you may have your speed suddenly decreased without your knowledge, or that you may not be able to end the ride when you arrive at your final destination. I had to call customer service to get the ride I was just on ended; I will be following up about a refund and will probably not use Bird again until this awful UX is fixed.
