I had first signed up and registered my bike. Then I deleted the app. Then I tried to reinstall the app and get back in, but my account was gone. This all happened within a few months. Does one need to keep an app on the phone when it may be months or years in between before a theft happens. Why automatically delete peoples accounts? I assume that was what happened.

Registering my bike with the new 529 Garage app was so easy. In about 5 mins the app helps you capture important details like serial number and pictures of the bike. I hope I never have to use it but the stolen alert feature notifies other users in your local area to be on the lookout for your bike. Police can’t identify owners of stolen bikes when they are recovered — unless the bike is registered. The only personal information required to register was my email address.

The app isn’t anything out of this world but I love the idea behind registry’s and would love to see this grow. I think their must’ve been an update because my app has worked fine. Registered 3 of my bikes and I didn’t have any issues during the process. Pictures were easy to upload. Ordered their little decals for my bikes. Hope I never have to use it 🫣

The intention is wonderful, it seems. The project is worthwhile and overdue.The app and the website do not flow. They are frustrating, non-intuitive, and glitchy. They both give me a headache.This app needs to be rebuilt in order to facilitate mass adoption—which, after all, is the goal.
