Bolt: Request a Ride 4+

I used Bolt scooters and bikes all over Krakow for several days. I had poor experiences with the Bolt scooters, many being under powered, not recognizing clear corridors between red zones, and misrepresenting the available power.
I had to uninstall and reinstall the app several times, including once just to end a ride because the app froze and wouldn’t let me stop.
I also had the app freeze at the end of a group ride and only let me finish one of the 4 scooters in the group. When I contacted support, they kept asking what error message I got, and either because they didn’t understand me, or were being intentionally obtuse, would not accept any explanation I tried to give. I uploaded photos of the scooters parking spots, screenshots of the 1st scooters’s completion and tried to appeal to them using their own data, it to no avail. The poor app ended up costing m an additional 45PLN, more than the original ride cost and their support team refused to refund my money despite the overwhelming evidence I presented.
I would suggest using Lime or Tier or Bird but never again Bolt.

I ordered a delivery and the price was 2400 naira. The driver asked me to pay 3500 and I told him I would pay him 3000 and nothing more ( I have screenshots of this conversation).
The driver arrived and after I paid him, he refused to give me my package until I pay him extra.
I refused and he spend about 15 minutes yelling at me and telling anyone who was around that he won’t give me my product. I left him there because I was uncomfortable, and contacted the bolt customer service who told me that I didn’t have to pay more than was offered on the app.
They said they’d contact him, so I went back to the gate. When I got there I saw my package with a guard, opened and used. I asked them what happened and they said he opened my package and “dashed” them. I contacted customer service after some back and forth, they told me that the driver said he didn’t use the product, and I agreed to the price change. When I asked them how they planning to compensate me for my opened and used product, they said I should go and collect it from the guards. That’s all! Like I should be grateful for that!
I am extremely disappointed with bolt, I’ve been a user for years but after this, I am uninstalling the app. You’ve definitely lost a customer. If you want to be in the courier industry, atleast try performing the basics required in that industry

Leaving a review has an opportunity cost. I don’t want to waste my time leaving a detailed negative review because it’s just not worth my time. For Bolt, though, I’ll make an exception. I decided to try Bolt for the first time this weekend. I was in a rush, and Uber wasn’t connecting me to a driver. I downloaded Bolt, thinking I’d give them a chance to win me over. This was a Friday. Bolt tried to connect me, failed, then reconnected to a driver, failed again. At that point, my Uber had connected so that’s what I used. Flash forward to Sunday. We’re in London, pubs are closing. My wife and I are ready to go home. The bus (love it) will take 45 minutes. Uber will take 20, but costs an arm and a leg. Bolt is half the price, and only adds a couple of minutes of wait time. I select Bolt. A six minute wait turns into a six minute wait. And another six minutes. Three minutes have elapsed, and it’s still a six minute wait. I’ve been connected to a driver - hurray. Except my ride is cancelled. I decide to take the bus. My wife wants to try Bolt on her account. We connect to a driver. A three minute wait turns into a four minute wait. The driver cancels. We end up taking the TfL bus. It’s reliable. I delete the Bolt app. I leave this review. I hope that others don’t make the same mistake. Peace out Bolt, good luck ✌️
