Bike angel points disappear from app
Bike angel points disappear from app (Bay Wheels Android app) when there's a network connectivity problem: on wifi go out of range of the wifi the app will say network problems, and bike stations disappear after a minute, it reconnects to cell network and bike stations come back bike angel point indicators do not come back I have to close and reopen the app to resolve. This happens very consistently.Android baywheels app and Pedal Assist Preference
On the "Ebike Pricing" page under "Pedal Assist Preference" https://help.baywheels.com/hc/en-us/articles/360048955492-Ebike-Pricing it says I can set my Pedal Assist Preference in the app by going to Profile > Bike key > Pedal assist preference. However, I do not see "Bike key" on the profile page. (Bay wheels, Android app). NOTE: I'm having trouble posting the link; when I submit this it says invalid htmlMap inaccurate, ending streaks
I've had a couple of streaks ended this week when I should have continued them. I've noticed it's because your map is often inaccurate and I'd like an explanation of what's going on. I just took a ride and saved screenshots before and after. This particular ride didn't end a streak, but it should have taken me from 2x to 3x and yet it did not. You can see in the first image, it's 12:00. I waited until noon to see if the map changed, and it did not. So I'm going from S 4th & Roebling to S 2nd & Driggs, which the map indicates will give me 2 points and push me to 3x. I complete the ride and I get the pop up notification: Ride Completed. No two points, no 3x streak. I then take another screenshot of the map and it now says S 2nd & Driggs is neutral. I specifically waited until the points changed at noon before taking this ride, and yet your map didn't reflect the actual points available. I've been doing this for two years and have never had this issue before last week. I've now lost two streaks due to this mapping error. The program is mostly a waste of time now so I rarely do it and only manage about 100 points a month when I used to do over 1k, but I still do use it to extend my membership and get points for an occasional e-bike. What's going on with the point values in the app and when will this be fixed?Android baywheels app spins after ride
On my baywheels android app, after I take a ride, often the app will get stuck and I cannot take another ride until I close and reopen it. Also sometimes this happens (in between rides) after switching away from the app and back to it. The "Scan" button gets stuck spinning. This started happening 2-3 weeks ago.Start Points for Cash in Divvy Chicago
Hi. The point is... Please, implement a points for cash reward system for Divvy Chicago. It's different for everyone, but if the data shows membership extensions are the primary reason people are doing Divvy Bike Angels, without additional incentives, why keep moving bikes around? Sure, Bike Angels it's still great excersice, but without the monthly point reset, there's now no need to get back on a bike each month to earn the 80pts for a membership extension because people can use their Points Bank. An avid Angels rider can earn a year, or more, worth of membership extensions in a few days. Chicago Divvy has three reward options: Lyft credits eBike credits Membership extension Lyft has the data, so perhaps the bike redistribution system in Chicago is working, but from my perspective the Divvy Bike Angels program needs many more participants. The Divvy LEADERBOARD is totally anemic, always ending the month with only three or four big points earners, and even those top point earners average a sparse 150pts a day, which is moving about 20 bikes a day at most, and the rest of the top 20, with such low monthly point totals, are seemingly in the program to accumulate points for membership extensions or just their daily commute. Maybe, for Chicago, Lyft has determined there is a sufficient amount of bike redistribution going on, but the docking stations continually going empty around town tells a whole different story. In addition, Divvy Chicago allows ebike parking outside of the stations which means eBikes are dumped and left abandoned while the docking stations go empty, and the Divvy redistribution staff can't seem to keep up. Additional incentives are necessary because Lyft credits, eBike credits and membership extensions are not bringing enough people into the Divvy Bike Angels program to meet the bike redistribution needs of Divvy Chicago. Just my 2 cents. Thanks.
Algorithm set up to not gain 3x boost points 1 after another
This morning there were a lot of 9 x boost points surrounding me, so I thought why not move a few bikes and gain some quick points (I have 3 x boost, so lots of stations showed 9 x points) I moved 1 bike and got the 9 points, then instantly all the stations what were just moments before had 9 x points had reduced mostly 3 x points (1 point, plus my 3 x boost) there was 1 station what had 6 x points, so I walked there. The station which had 6 points as soon as I unlocked the bike had reduced to 3 x points even though the station didn't have 1 dock available it was full to capacity. It’s clear this corporation has no intention of making it easy to make a lot of points quickly, which is sad as my area is still full of bikes, no one around here can park a bike.
