What's New in Hong Kong Taxi Cards

December 12, 2023
- add backup bookmarks function
- bookmarks could be reordered by drag and drop
I use this app all the time. The spoken cards is especially useful since sometimes I don’t know how to say the name of where I want to go. I recommend this to all my friends who don’t speak Cantonese. Also, they are pretty quick to respond if you have a request to translate a place.
I have one frustration: if you don’t spell or write the name of what you are searching for absolutely correctly, the app is not smart enough to help you guess and give you suggestions. It makes it frustrating and there isn’t a way to ever find what you are looking for! Can this be improved?
