    Does anybody know a good accurate app to use for Dublin bikes? I want to use such an app to be able to check where the bikes are available and where there are free spots to return a bike, while I'm out and about.

    I have two such apps on my mobile but if I check them against the website, the data they show is completely wrong.

    On my mobile I can go to the Dublin bikes website but I can't seem to get data for a particular station, without being able to use a mouse.

    I posted about this in the off-topic thread, but some students are undertaking a survey into the Dublin Bike scheme with a view to helping redesign the official Dublin Bike App.

    The official app has been pretty much accurate for me on my recent trips. I use it to find a station with bikes and have a look at the general area where I'm going (to gauge 10 minutes worth of space)

    OK thanks, turns out I had two "unofficial" apps, both called Dublin Bikes, and both pretty useless!

    The Coca Cola Zero dublinbikes app seems to be fully accurate.

    Look for "city bikes ireland" on Google play - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.closebracket.bikedroid

    I use this one as well and find it quite accurate.

    Yea, I use the Official Coke App and it seems spot on.

    I don't actually think the website gives info on bike availability or did I miss something?

    What other apps are out there and what do they do that the official one doesn't?

    If you click into the station map on the website, you can see bike and stand availability.
