User Reviews: Ride Pingo

Top reviews

  • Great app

    The application is really useful for people in communities with poor transit. Really happy Pingo came to Bainbridge
  • Does not support time zones! Beware!!

    Scheduled a ride 6 hours before I needed it for 3pm. I was in the Boise airport flying to Seattle.
    When I landed the app showed my confirmed ride at 2pm ! I scrambled and called to get this fixed. They were able to cancel the 2pm but could not reschedule me for 3.
    It’s apparent that the app does not take time zones into account Boise is an hour ahead. I could not find a way to contact the developer but this should get fixed!

    Hi there, we apologize for the inconvenience that this caused. You're right that the app currently only books trips according to the user's current time zone, but we hear your frustration and we will take this into account when making improvements. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. -Sarah
  • Getting better with time

    I have been using this app since sometime and I have seen this become better with time. The UI is faster and smoother and I love what they are doing. More power to Pingo <3

  • Great transportation resource.

    Like anything new; navigating the app presented a few challenges for me.
    Couple trips and I’ll be up to speed.
    Great ride!!

  • Fatal flaw

    Could be an okay app but refuses to work when there is an active VPN on my phone. No VPN, no problem. Any VPN, app hangs on the map display. Since I’m not going to stop using a VPN just for this app I just deleted the app.

    Hi there, our new app version now supports VPNs! Please give it a try and let us know by leaving a comment or updating your review. Thanks for your patience and don't hesitate to reach out to support@theroutingcompany.com with any questions! Thanks, Jake
  • Can’t even sign up

    My university is moving to this apps services, but it looks like I’ll get a lot more walking in because I can’t even complete the sign-up process.

    There is a “next” arrow at the bottom of the screen, just off screen. Scrolling is “springy”. So I can scroll to SEE the next button, but when I release scroll the screen springs back to where I can no longer see it so I can’t CLICK on it.

    This is the quality I would expect from spending called “Ride Pingo” which made my wife and I both laugh when I first said it out loud.

    Sadly I cannot give it 0 stars and still write a review, so they get 1 for “can’t even register to use the application” out of 5.

    Developer Response

    We're sorry signup hasn't worked for you! We are working to improve the signup process and are grateful for your feedback - we expect the untappable "next" button issue you described in your review to be fixed around mid January. In the meantime, you should be able to reduce your text size so you can tap the next button to complete the signup process. To do this, you need to go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Text Size and then slide the text size down a few notches. We're also happy to help you with this through the chat feature in the app or over email. You can reach us at support@theroutingcompany.com. Thanks again for taking the time to provide feedback!
  • Appreciate this transportation option on BI

    I’d advise a “trial” run to get familiar with the app. Tip: If your address doesn’t work in the app, try using nearby intersection. Also, schedule a day ahead to get the day/time you need, if possible. You can schedule the same day, but time may be a little later if it gets booked up. Very pleased to have this service!
  • Doesn’t work

    Can’t schedule a ride, or even see service area on the map.
  • Get this global!!!

    Amazing idea for an app. I can’t use it though because it’s not available where I live. Doesn’t mean I should rank it down a star just because it’s a small business!!
  • Fast, friendly service

    I use Pingo to get to work and the drivers are kind and fast. Lots of features compared to other apps and has a very cute design with lots of nice illustrations
