### 1/5 — Can not get past overview screen

*2018-05-20*

There isn’t a way to get past the overview screen, so this app is pretty useless.

### 1/5 — Tried to use, couldn't get past step one

*2016-11-22*

App asks for your phone # to confirm by text; several attempts with phone #, no text ever arrived. Was unusable for me.

### 5/5 — Dependable app!

*2016-09-30*

Great up-to-date map features powered by Google. I've used this app for quick trips around NYC as well as to travel long distances. Much cheaper than Uber or Lyft!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2016-09-29*

Great app, great design. Pretty young right now

### 5/5 — Got a ride from Dover DE to Dewey Beach, DE for about $25

*2016-06-09*

As the title says, I successfully got a ride from Dover to Dewey Beach for around $25. I was meeting friends there and, rather than driving, I decided it would be a good time to test Atlas after I heard about it a few weeks ago. After I got the drivers phone number through the app and we worked out a good time to leave, he picked me up at my house in Dover and dropped me off right at my friend's house in Dewey. The interface is a little rough around the edges but the app worked great. I think when you consider the cost of gas, parking, etc I saved money by using the app instead of driving. I am excited to see the improvements they will make.
