### 5/5 — Súper buen servicio

*2026-08-11, version 4.29.1*

Muy económico y buenos carros y trabajadores

### 4/5 — Decent app, but why can’t I go to Wellen Park?

*2026-07-13, version 4.27.1*

I use this app daily. I live in North Port, and tried to place Downtown Wellen Park as my destination. For some unusual reason, the map cuts off just before River Road before Bob Johnson Park. I work at the North Port Fire Dept at Wellen and it’s odd I have to ride every morning to get off at Myakka area, to then wait and take an Uber just a mile down further so I can get to work every day and back.  Please add Wellen Part into North Port.

### 1/5 — Extremely unreliable

*2026-05-26, version 4.27.1*

I use this app to get home from school every day and no matter if I order 30 minutes from the bus stop I will still get home late. it used to be 2$ and now it’s 6$ for my ride and for it to be unreliable even to where I have to order 30+ minutes in advance is embarrassing. Another thing is that the driver and choose to pick up another rider in the middle of my ride which then adds 10-30 minutes onto my ride. Sure it is cheap still but for 6$ I shouldn’t gave to worry about whether I’m going to be there on time or if my rider is going to pick up another ride mid drive and then add another 20 minutes onto my ride. Also another thing I’ve seen is that the map is EXTREMELY unreliable, the drivers don’t know where they’re going because of how unreliable it is and then they get blamed for it and get the backlash for it instead of the company. Overall this app is horrible, I am still going to use it to get back and forth from school because I have no other way of transportation but a lot of things do need to be changed.

### 1/5 — Glitchy system

*2026-04-17, version 4.26.12*

I called today and requested a five dollar refund for a ride. I did not receive your history on your app has been clearing itself. It is successfully scam me out of at least $20-$30 over the course of history because your system Made by a third-party country which is scamming us out of our money. I want to call to get my other five dollars from a canceled ride today and the history was removed and it was removed from the system which means somebody either removed it from the system or it It’s not saving properly it shouldn’t be legal to have this app and running and be funded through the government if it’s not gonna work correctly update or give me my money back

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2026-03-27, version 4.26.10*

I usually thought you could trust anything that’s made by Sarasota, but this app is unbelievably unreliable. You got somewhere to be in the morning and you need to take an on demand you might as well call them and tell them you’re gonna be late because no matter how many times you try to get a ride in the morning, it will say no rides available and it’ll be like that for two or three hours and then it’ll finally give you a ride that’s 50 minutes away horrible you’re better off, taking the actual bus

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2026-03-10, version 4.26.10*

Nothing works. Doesn’t recognize my details as being a customer. Look at my random nickname. Every name I put in was already taken. So basically there’s another person with my exact name…okay! Won’t even send me an email to change password.

### 1/5 — Smh

*2025-12-15, version 4.22.2*

Might be the most unreliable app know to man

### 2/5 — Unreliable & Cannot Schedule

*2025-10-15, version 4.22.2*

App INSISTS that you can schedule rides. There is no option. None. No option to pick a date, time, or anything. Even when you plan ahead and order your rides at a very viable time for what you need to do, they will make your ride take x3 the amount of time it needs to be by showing up late and having other riders join in on what is now a late ride for you.
Genuinely hate it. I will probably continue paying x3 the price with Lyft or Uber just because of how frustrating this has been.

### 1/5 — Terrible service

*2025-09-29, version 4.22.2*

If I could give a no star I would, y’all need to pick new drivers because when we need to get somewhere on time the drivers can’t be sitting in a Walmart parking lot for 30 minutes. This is gradually annoying and it has happened to me several times.

### 1/5 — Had my phone stolen from the person sharing ride. They live on Briar Street here in Venice.

*2025-09-16, version 4.22.2*

1st time using Breeze on Demand. I thought oh cool, convenient local and cheap. Had my phone stolen from the person sharing my ride or from the driver. Either way, I immediately tracked my phone. They live on the right side of Briar Street here in Venice. I checked from 380-388, but was not noticing the Latino teen male who rode with me to ask if they may have accidentally took my phone. I even put on a security message asking to return phone when I tracked it. Then I turned on the sound. The phone then got deactivated. So that tells me that my phone was taken. It had 30% battery, to deactivate it has to be manually turned off. It’s not even a good phone. My car is at the mechanic and was waiting for a phone call from them. Go steal a crummy iPhone. The driver was a Latino male n started with an A. But like Aymnon or something not common. Seatbelt was a weird like harness thing that didn’t buckle. Won’t be using or recommending Breeze to anyone in the community if it’s got sketch drivers and sketchy passengers. Going to be spending more for Lyft or Uber knowing that safety will be prioritized.
