It is helpful to have piece of mind now, especially when riding alone at night. ### 5/5 — Safe rides *2019-10-23, version 3.1.2* I love the focus on safety and ability to have that in my own hands. I also like that the app is independent! ### 5/5 — Smooth! *2019-10-22, version 3.1.2* This app is beautiful but also powerful. I like it’s speed and providing the comparison tools AND the safety features makes it a must-have app for my college-age daughter, as she lives for ride-shares and of course I’ll be less nervous with her armed with this app! ### 5/5 — Safe family *2019-10-22, version 3.1.2* It means the world to me to know that my family is safe!! ### 5/5 — Safety and Savings *2019-02-20, version 2.0.2* While the saving opportunities that come from using best rides are great - it is the safety feature that I really love. I travel internationally frequently for work and find myself either walking or taking a cab alone in new cities. The directions, safety feature and ability to modify my emergency contacts are game changers. ### 5/5 — Amazing app and so reliable! *2019-02-18, version 2.0.2* Best Rides is an amazing app that has made me feel so safe and comfortable throughout my rides. Living in the city and hearing the scary stories about ride sharing, it’s great to know I can have trust that I will not only get home safe, but that I’m saving money along the way. The extra features like notifying my family when I’m home has been a huge relief to my family when I’m traveling late at night. Definitely recommend this app to anyone looking to ensure safety when riding home at night and also looking to save some money! ### 5/5 — Love this App!!!! *2019-02-13, version 2.0.2* The connection to contacts and emergency contact is brilliant. Love this safety measure. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2019-02-13, version 2.0.2* This app was recommended to me and I loved it. It finds me the best deals for rides and the safety features and very well nice. ### 5/5 — Greg *2019-02-11, version 2.0.1* I found the cost comparison aspect of the app to be very beneficial- it immediately saved me money on each of the three ride shares that I took. That alone (not to mention the safety features) makes it a great value. ### 5/5 — Saved $$$$ *2019-02-09, version 2.0.1* I saved $8 using this app on my last ride! And its so easy to use. Thanks!! ### 5/5 — So safe *2018-03-29, version 1.1.0* I had a huge fear of using any form transportation being a young woman in a big scary world. Not anymore thanks to this app!! Safe Ride makes all my worries vanish completely! Thank you to the genius’s who created this! If you’re a worry wart like I am I highly suggest you download this app. ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-03-15, version 1.1.0* I used this app when I was traveling in Europe and it really made our family feel safe. Will all the problems in the world you don’t know who is driving you around and this app really provides a way to stay safe. ### 5/5 — Great ! *2017-09-27, version 1.0.31* The application is a great way to assure your safety and ease the minds and those who care. In my commutes to work, home, Ubers, and even just going out for a walk I knew that I was always guaranteed protection no matter what and with that being said I HIGHLY recommend this app !! ### 5/5 — Great, easy travel app for peace of mind *2017-07-12, version 1.0.30* Living in the city, it's not uncommon for me to travel alone — however, that comes with many safety concerns. SafeRide/WalkSafe is an easy-to-use app that taps into my regular travel and allows me to connect with trusted contacts to "chaperone" my travel, so I'm never alone. The app easily connects to GPS and tracks your full trip, allowing your trusted contacts to know where you are, where you're going — and if you get there in time. I would like to see a "reminder" alert from the app to make sure I check in to my location, as I have forgotten to mark myself as "arrived safely" a few times, scaring my contacts, but otherwise the app is seamless, easy to use, and a great comfort. ### 5/5 — Useful app *2017-05-24, version 1.0.30* The SafeRide/Walk app is really handy and easy to use. At work, I park in a remote lot. I often return to my car well after dark, and it's really nice to have this app as I walk. My family also really likes knowing my whereabouts and that I've arrived safely. ### 5/5 — Smooth functionality / Great App *2017-05-19, version 1.0.30* This app has a very simple and streamlined UI + relatively robust functionality. Taking and uploading the pictures is simple, and I let one trip alert go out/the message is informative and would be extremely useful in an emergency situation. I've used it to alert family of my trips and they have appreciated it. Definitely worth it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 4/5 — Splendid *2017-07-13, version 1.0.30* The app was great and very easy and helpful to use! It made me feel safe and secure when walking around. Only thing I would alter is if possible I would add a public transportation feature for people who commute often/live in the city. ### 4/5 — Great app with improvements needed *2017-06-30, version 1.0.30* The idea behind this app is great, especially for ladies like me who sometimes walk home from the subway station or take the Uber at night. There are things that need to be improved, such as disable the contact notification and only alert them if the user hasn't arrived destination. Provide a number in the text where the contact could call to make it more efficient. Provide a train/bus tab other than car and walk. Provide the "your location" function instead of typing your current location all the time and or have the function to save as favorites. It's an useful app overall and with a bit more twists and improvements this is beneficial to many people out there! ### 4/5 — easy and useful *2017-06-29, version 1.0.30* This app is great in that it gives peace of mind when traveling either by ones self or in a vehicle operated by an unknown third party! It ensures maximum security by putting a timer on each route you take, but is still practical in that it allows you to extend the amount of time you need to get to your destination if something slowing occurred along the way. It is also helpful that the location services of the app recognizes your beginning location, and that when searching for your end location autofill options quickly pop up. Great app to add peace of mind! ### 4/5 — Good but needs improvements *2017-05-28, version 1.0.30* This app serves a great overall purpose and and it is a nice idea for people such as my self that have to walk home from work after midnight. The idea is strong but a few improvements would do this app extremely well: 1. Firstly, the panic button is too prevalent in size considering its close proximity to the "arrived safely" button. I would consider maybe playing the panic button at the top under time remaining and above the map. The next few improvements are considering my phone type iPhone 5s and unsure of newer models: 2. The map does not update on the trip which means it isn't efficient for directions if walk and another app will have to be used simultaneously. Also, if I were in a uber and they had to take an alternate route, I would just be a dot moving off course on the map until I arrived at my destination. 3. It goes without saying that the timer for the app should go in the lock screen so I don't have to open my phone everytime I want to check the time left. 4. The app should give the option to add additional/pick individual emergency contacts for any given trip. If I were walking home at 1 in the morning having an emergency contact like a parent that would be fast asleep isn't the optimal choice. 5. There should be the ability to save addresses like a home destination so I don't have to re-insert the same location information for the majority of my trips Overall I think this app is alright with the potential of being very effective if more of these finer issues are looked into. ### 5/5 — What a GREAT idea!!!🙂 *2020-01-05, version 3.2.0* I LOVE this app! It helps make me feel so much safer when I travel! ### 5/5 — Very nice *2019-10-29, version 3.1.2* Saw tv story on the app. I put it on my daughter’s phone and asked her to use it when she takes Ubers. Good to know she has a tool to help keep her safe ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-10-29, version 3.1.2* My roommates and I use this app all the time. Helps us feel safe and look out for each other while we are out. One less thing to worry about. ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-10-28, version 3.1.2* Highly recommend this app! ### 5/5 — Perfect for a young woman abroad *2019-10-28, version 3.1.2* I used Best Rides while home and living abroad, so that I can track my routes and my family can be reassured of my safety. I highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Terrific App *2019-10-27, version 3.1.2* Just started using this app a few weeks ago. It is very convenient; and makes me feel more comfortable when I’m in a car or walking to work. Great product! ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-10-27, version 3.1.2* Used it in Nashville this week. Got an alert that my diver was off route.
