The map with station numbers

Get an alert when an e-bike shows up.

Pick a station and we'll tell you the moment an e-bike turns up. Or let the app watch around you while you walk. It works with the app closed.

A station with no e-bikes: the usual numbers and the alerts

The nearest e-⁠bike in one tap.

E-bikes have their own button and their own color on the map. One tap shows the closest one and the way there.

The nearest e-bike with a walking route

No e-bikes? Check if it's worth waiting.

We show how many e-bikes the station usually has at this time and how likely one is to turn up in the next ten minutes.

Questions

How do I reserve or unlock a bike?

That happens in SMOU, Barcelona's official app. Better B's Reserve and Unlock buttons open it for you. You need SMOU installed and a Bicing subscription.

I have a problem with my Bicing account, a payment or a fine

We can't see or change anything in your Bicing account. Please contact Bicing or SMOU directly: bicing.barcelona.

The numbers don't match what I see at the station

Station data comes from the public data Bicing publishes and is refreshed several times a minute. In between, someone may take the last bike or dock. The time at the top of the map shows how old the data is.

My alert didn't arrive

Check that notifications are allowed for Better B in iOS Settings → Notifications. Alerts stop on their own after an hour (you can change this in the app's settings). Your current alerts are listed under the bell button on the map.

Why does the location icon stay on?

Only while you're waiting for an e-bike within 300 m: the app then keeps looking around you as you walk. It stops when the alert goes off, expires or you cancel it. You can turn this off in the app's settings, under "Check in the background".

The app keeps asking for my location

That happens if you chose "Allow Once". Choose "Allow While Using App" and it won't ask again.

How do I delete my data?

Better B has no accounts. Cancelling an alert removes it from our server straight away, and deleting the app removes everything stored on your phone. The details are in the privacy policy.
