Comments on Santander Cycles for Android

★★★★☆ l Dizon · Sep 5, 2026
Can't download on my phone. Always have to open it via Play store
★☆☆☆☆ Shafeeq Reezal · Apr 19, 2026
Keep having to input my card details whenever I want to hire a bike and always has an error. Useless app
★☆☆☆☆ Vijay Bhandari · Jul 18, 2026
The app does not work. It logs me out, doesn't allow me to pay, continually asks me to re-enter card details but fails to with a parameter error upon payment. It's frustrating I have tired to install the app on an iPhone, but this doesn't work either
★☆☆☆☆ Henrique Moreira · Jan 18, 2026
UX is garbage. My friends and I did not manage to rent the bikes. Payment won't work...

“The self-service, bike-sharing scheme for short journeys in inner London.”

Description by Corethree Play Store Admin Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Santander Cycles is the self-service, bike-sharing scheme for short journeys in inner London.
The official Santander Cycles app from Transport for London is the only app to send bike release codes straight to your smartphone. So you can skip past the docking station terminal and get on your bike quicker.
Simply register with your bank card, and use the app to ‘Hire now’ from a nearby docking station. Follow the instructions to get your bike release code. Tap the code into the docking point and you’re good to go!

You can also:
• See up-to-the minute information about which docking stations have bikes and spaces available
• Plan a journey with an easy to follow map
• Receive notifications – for example, summarising the cost at the end of your hire
• View your recent journeys and charges • Save your favourite docking stations
• Become a London Rider - complete challenges and hire cycles to earn entries into a weekly prize draw!

Each bike release code is valid for 10 minutes at your chosen docking station.
Please note the app doesn’t reserve bikes. If there are no bikes available at the docking station, don’t worry. Use the app to find a nearby docking station with bikes, and get another bike release code to use there. You won’t be charged until you use the release code.
You must be 18 or over to hire a bike, and 14 or over to ride one. For full Santander Cycles terms and conditions, see tfl.gov.uk/santandercycles
