### 2/5 — Poor update

*2017-06-29, version 30.0.6*

Had to book cab for work only to find all details and favourites lost had to setup
Card details again and now need to register

### 5/5 — Marcel V

*2015-01-11, version 21.0.0*

Best taxi company ever. Good services, always on time, good, polite drivers and very good prices! 
Thanks A&B taxis !

### 4/5 — A&B app

*2014-08-04, version 20.0.0*

Top app easy to use. No problems installing.
Fast to locate the nearest taxi to me in Basildon/Wickford/BillericayEssex.
Top service just needs to be available for the windows phone operating system too.

### 4/5 — Great little app

*2014-04-23, version 19.0.0*

Do like to track where the taxi is; lets me know if I've got time for a swift one

### 5/5 — Fantastic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2014-04-21, version 19.0.0*

I have telephonophobia (talking on the phone phobia), so this app is a 'god' send. It's quicker. It's easier and saves my anxiety levels raising through the roof. 

Now just slowly getting over the taxiaphobia. I know I'm safe with A&B. plus, the taxis are tracked. Peace of mind. 

As for the service from this app is outstanding. A*****
Couldn't fault it. 
A&B in general are great. Very friendly. Cheaper than most taxis companies. Made to feel at ease too. 
If there is an easier route for my journey, they'll go that way. The drivers I've had, ask me which route I'd prefer to take (if known), in order for me to have a less stressful journey by it being as short as possible. But once you're talking with them, it tends to ease the anxiety. 

Bottom line of app: 
Fantastic. Easy. Simple. Quick turn around. Drop off AND/OR return route back. Multiply drop offs/stops along the way. Highly recommend using the app. DOWNLOAD NOW! What you waiting for? 😄👍

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2013-12-05, version 10.0.0*

Keeps saying it's syncing to system. Never get past that screen.

### 1/5 — Overcharges

*2013-03-18, version 1.1.5*

This app charged £2.20 more than on a normal journey of £5.00

### 5/5 — Miss

*2012-04-07, version 1.1*

Really good app!

### 3/5 — Good for booking by cash!

*2012-01-20, version 1.1*

I've had this app for a while now and it always has proved to be useful, however I have only recently started going to other places using this app paying by card.  It seems no matter how near or far you want to go it will always charge 7.21 unless it's a bank holiday or peak rate then it adds 1.60.  So anyone using card with this app check the balance it gives you before booking as you may be paying far too much for a short journey.

### 4/5 — Good App but ......

*2011-12-12, version 1.1*

App works really well. Only gave it a 4 because it doesn't push through notifications. You have to keep refreshing to find out the status of your booking. You then have to track the vehicle in order to find out the car description. 

A notification much like the text service used when booking over the phone would really make this a 5 star app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-10-25, version 50.2.1*

Can’t even get as far as the login screen as keeps saying there is a server error? Therefore unable to use the app

### 1/5 — The App needs a lot of work

*2021-05-24, version 40.8.2*

I didn't even get past registration before being locked and blacklisted out all because it did not recognise the verification text message it sent me. 
I will sticking to calling them whenever im in the area instead of this app.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t recognise me

*2018-05-26, version 30.1.2*

All was well and it worked great until some updates. Now I’m an unrecognised person and can’t even re-register.... staff were clueless as to how to resolve the issue.

### 1/5 — Hopless and none technical useless app ever seen

*2017-12-06, version 30.1.0*

This application seems like just for name there is an application for a and b taxi.

Best suggestion if u launch application properly 100% working otherwise just remove this application for store.

This app seems like made by 5/6 yrs kid.

### 1/5 — Registration details

*2017-05-20, version 30.0.6*

The app I have used for the last couple of months and has been very good. Last night I did the update and it took all my saved information away and didn't recognise me as a user. Had to re-register. 

The app now crashes after wanting to request payment selection, can't even use the app at all now!! Please fix asap

### 1/5 — Don't use this taxi firm

*2015-12-10, version 21.5.0*

50 minutes and still waiting. 5 calls to the desk and no sign of the taxi we booked. Avoid this firm. Bad communication!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2015-12-10, version 21.5.0*

App doesn't work; make sure you don't drop a pin; rather put in address EXPLICITLY. And agents are very rude. I may get home tonight, who knows.

### 1/5 — Very bad service

*2015-09-19, version 21.5.0*

Cancelled my booking without telling me so I ended up missing my train.

### 1/5 — Brilliant until

*2015-07-23, version 21.5.0*

Now. It needs updating. Please update and sort these bugs. The app can not be used.

### 1/5 — Don't use

*2015-03-07, version 21.0.0*

Made me late for work and I lost my job

### 5/5 — Great app, just needs one feature

*2024-06-04, version 53.4*

This is a great app, quick and easy booking, notifications to let you know when your taxi is booked, on its way and arriving.

The only thing I can suggest it add is a tab for booking pet taxis as the “additional notes” feature has let me down a few times when needing to transport my pets to the vets or groomers.

Other than that, 5 star app

### 5/5 — 🥰🥰

*2024-05-17, version 53*

Lovely jubbly!!!👍🏿

### 5/5 — Better than Uber!

### 5/5 — Mr.

*2020-10-11, version 40.5.32*

Very nice taxi I love taking it always

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2020-04-16, version 30.2.5*

Brilliant app, lets me track my taxi and shows the reg so I know I’m getting in the right taxi too.

### 5/5 — Awesome easy to use

*2019-01-29, version 30.1.2*

Simple easy app to
Navigate and use a must have

### 5/5 — Awful can’t sign back in

*2018-03-01, version 30.1.1*

This app was working fine until you decided to make it go offline because of the weather now can’t log in at all as my phone number won’t stay in there to verify my account. As you make the app priority over the phone anyway. There is no point booking over phone might as well just phone value cars instead all good things must come to an end.

### 5/5 — Great

*2017-02-19, version 23.0.0*

This app is better than there call center staff.
We phone up and get told its an hour wait and no cabs.
Go to app and book and cab arrive in few mins and get told by driver they been quiet for ages

### 5/5 — Brilliant! Happy Customer

*2016-05-31, version 22.0.0*

Used this app this morning for the first time. Really user friendly, cab booked without any problems, confirmation email received and cab was a few minutes early too. Friendly driver. Can't fault the app or the company. 5 stars from me

### 5/5 — Rm

*2015-06-19, version 21.5.0*
