Super helpful for travelers.
I'm in an area with poor data coverage and when I tried to open my Uber app, it wouldn't let me do anything without a forced update that was taking forever with the crappy coverage. So I pulled out this app to try and figure out how much it would cost to get between two places in an unfamiliar country, and it pulled up a bunch of providers that I would've never thought to check because I've never heard of them. very helpful when you're not that familiar with the area.

Disconnects
Great concept and if it worked reliably, it would be a terrific time saver and money saver too. The problem is that nearly every time I open the app it requires me to logon and link my rideshare accounts. Doing so obviously takes much more time than going to those accounts and checking prices directly. Obi has been a disappointment.

Great app. I use it first to book Uber or Lyft
..and I use it overseas. Why wouldn’t you use this app? To have the prices in front of you and be able to select the cheapest! Perfect!
Response from developer
Hi Treasi - Thank you so much for your review! Your support means a ton as we work hard every day to bring convenience to riders and transparency to the marketplace!
Uber blocks usage
Seems that Uber has caught on to Obi. They have logged me out twice after using Obi, forced me to change my password and delinked Obi. The second time, Uber issued me a warning that allowing a third-party to use my login violates Terms of Service.
I found Obi pricing of Uber to be inaccurate once the ride is actually booked. This is due to Uber dynamic surge pricing and additional fees they now add in certain areas.
So far, no problem booking with Lyft through Obi but more convenient to just use their app directly. Lyft is more often less expensive than Uber, so why bother with price comparisons. The real differences are availability and wait time for pick up which Obi cannot provide.

Great
First downloaded this app on holiday in NYC, and haven’t looked back since. Really easy to use interface and have saved loads of money. Thanks.
Great Comparison Tool
I came across this tool accidentally, but so glad I did. In the first 3 days of use, I was able to find 4 fares that were more competitive than my original choices.
Disappointing
Disappointing App. Trying to compare options available for several European cities but the only available provider on multiple
Occasions is Uber so no comparison possible.
Also regular bugs 🐜

Awesome simple but helpful app
This app does the simple task of comparing Uber and Lyft fares in real time and organizes them based on both price and timing. Simple but extremely helpful way to save a few bucks and/or time!
Downloaded the app, but it’s still trying to locate me
I downloaded this app several days ago and when I open it up, it says it’s trying to locate me. And it still hasn’t located me. There’s no way for me to do anything except look at the screen with the little buffering symbol, going round and round trying to locate me. So I don’t know if anything will work beyond this, but this part is not working that’s for sure. Can the developer tell me what I’m supposed to do at this point? BTW, I am using an iPhone 11 Pro Max, and the latest software is installed.

App shows higher prices
Had accounts linked and was still showing higher prices. Also it is missing specific car selections that the apps themselves offer. Don’t see a reason for this app as it doesn’t do anything beneficial and allows them to collect data about your rides and your personal info.
