Great app!
This is the first velib app really useful and well conceived. To reach 5 stars, it should be possible to report events (defective velib/station, etc...) Overall: really good app!

can’t see all stations on the map as before
now you only see the available stations in a small circle that stays in the middle of your screen as you swipe the map, makes it a pain when zooming out because all the stations outside this circle are invisible…! you must swipe the map blindly to find where there might be a station in some neirbourhood you aren’t familiar with

Velib is amazing, but wish I could see more Acct details!
I love velib! Its my favorite way to get around Paris and I wish Id signed up for it when I first moved to Paris! But this app, though it is great for finding stations nearby, really needs to show the list of trips (how long each trip took). I know its possible to look on the website, but it would be easier (and I dont always have the time) if I had more of my account information available to me via the app Thank you velib for being awesome, but add this functionality to your app and I will love you forever!

Great resource
The Velib bikes around Paris were perfect for exploring Paris and this app made all the difference. I paid for my ticket online the first time but used this app to find all the bike location around the city. It was handy to know which stations had bikes available to take out as well as which had space where I could drop off the bike, all with real time updates. It was a huge resource making the Bike rental a breeze. Highly recommend this app. Only one suggestion, a routing/navigating option would be helpful. I had to jump back over to google maps to find where I wanted to go to, then back to the app to find an available location. It would be a nice feature to add to be able to click on a drop off station and the app navigate you there instead off bouncing back an forth between apps. But this may only be important to me since I was a tourist. Also, the app is so intuitive that even thou if is all in French, It didnt matter that I dont speak the language! Good job!

Essential if you rent Velib bikes in Paris
I used this App mainly to find rental locations. It is a real time App that tells you how many bikes are available or how many return slots are available. It is usable in both French and English (Anglais). It defaults to French and you need to go to Parametres and change Francais to Anglais. When riding to the Louvre, I could see many locations had zero return slots. So we dropped the bikes off a couple of blocks early. I also put the rental location by our hotel into my favorites to orient myself quickly as to my relative location. You can also purchase tickets through the App. I did keep switching between my mapping application and Velib since this does not give directions.
