Description
SMOU is the app that helps you to get around Barcelona and the Metropolitan Area, providing access to information and mobility services to make it easy for you to move around the city.
With SMOU you have in your hands:
- Bicing: plan your route, reserve bikes and take them with smou. With SMOU, you'll be able to reserve a bike and check the availability of bikes and docking points at each station in real time.
- Parking meter: pay for regulated on-street parking quickly, comfortably and without waiting. You pay only for the time you use it, without extra costs and without having to go to the parking meter. You can use it in Barcelona, Badalona, Castelledefels, El Prat de Llobregat, Esplugues de Llobregat, Gavà, L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, Montgat, Sant Boi de Llobregat, Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Sant Joan Despí, Sant Just Desvern and Sant Vicenç dels Horts.
- Barcelona Residents: pay and manage the tickets to park as a resident in the Green spaces and/or in the specific parking spaces for residents.
- Parking via app: access off-street car parks with the automatic number plate recognition system, without having to take a paper ticket. There’s no need to go to the tickets machine, you can pay for your stay with your mobile phone! Also, just for paying through the app, you save 30% at BSM Car Parks!
- Taxi: book and pay for your taxi with the app and move around the city in a sustainable way with Taxi Ecològic's 100% electric and hybrid fleet.
- Endolla Barcelona: recharge your electric vehicle from your mobile phone. You can also locate and reserve the charging points in advance.
- Shared mobility vehicles: locate and check the availability of all motorbike sharing, bike sharing and car sharing services in the city.
- Public transport: check the timetables, stops and stations of Metro, Bus, TRAM, Ferrocarrils and Rodalies.
- How to get there: functionality with which you can see the different itinerary options, with the different means of transport and the duration of each route. So you can choose the one that most interests you.

Ratings and Reviews
App doesn’t show parking stations for the Bicing
- the app does not show bike parking stations
- the name of the app SMOU itself is very confusing, the previos app Bicing had the same name as the bike stations. Previos app showed locations of the parking stations
- and a very big problem with Bicing service is that there is no control over the occupancy of parking lots.
for example, along the coastline (Barceloneta and Poblenou area) it is extremely difficult to find a free place to park a bicycle, and often the waiting time is more than 15 minutes.
Developer Response ,
Hello. In order to view the Bicing stations, you must activate the map layers. To do this, you must click on the button on the top right (the third) and activate the layers you need.
SMOU is an app that integrates many other urban mobility solutions, such as car parks, sharings, electric vehicle charging points, parking meters... The goal is to have all the mobility options in a single app.
Regarding the distribution of bicycles, we apologize for the inconveniences. We try to adjust to demand, taking into account the limitations of a shared service, especially in certain areas or peak hours when demand exceeds supply. We recommend checking availability in real time through smou before making each journey and, if you consider it appropriate, you can formalize your suggestion through the web mailbox: http://bit.ly/2G8SBcI.
Thank you and regards.
Good when it works.
The app likes to disconnect my bicing account whenever it feels like it. Today I missed an appointment because I couldn't get a bike. Good when it works but this has happened more than once.

Working/useable bikes are rarely available and reservations don’t work!
Useless app! Half the time the app doesn’t work. The other half the card doesn’t work! Spend ages trying to find bikes that haven’t got the red light to say they’re not working, and the ones that “do work” often don’t unlock. They say that they’re unlocked, but then you can’t release them and if you make a reservation and try to take the bike you’ve reserved it refuses saying there is an active reservation… yes, me! 🤦♀️ got it to try and make my 3am journeys home from work a little safer and easier, but honestly it’s more hassle!
