Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. We replied to your first request as soon as we received it, and your payment was sent to your connected account a couple of weeks after our last message. We're sorry we didn't confirm that it had been sent, and we appreciate your patience. We're always looking to improve our processes and systems. If anything is still outstanding, contact us through Support & feedback in the app or at support@budgetride.app with the date of the ride and the email on your account.

Can’t even signin on workpro

I have been having issues with workpro. I already have a work pro account and it doesn’t let me signin with my own account

Response from developer

Thanks for telling us. Sign-up no longer uses WorkPro: it's all done inside the app now, with clearer messages that explain what's needed and why. Please update to the latest version and sign in with your Budget Ride account. If something still stops you, the app will tell you why, and you can email support@budgetride.app.

App problem

I cant even open the app always give me something wrong, even thought i signed in couple months ago

Response from developer

Sorry about that. An error on opening can have several causes. We've fixed one that could affect signed-in drivers and added clearer messages about why something can't go ahead. Please update to the latest version, and if you still see an error, email support@budgetride.app with a screenshot.

Lacks basic features

Difficult to get on board , everything should be in the app itself , like didi/uber which makes onboarding much more easier rather than redirecting to other sites etc.
App is nowhere near ready to compete with didi/uber at all currently.

Also, there’s no point of buying a pass worth $30 when there’s no customer base present currently in QLD. It should be provided for free to attract more drivers onboard and the app should do aggressive promotions as well to get the riders know about its presence.
*Promotions SHOULD NOT BE LIMITED TO ONLY FACEBOOK/INSTAGRAM

Response from developer

Thank you for the honest feedback, we really appreciate it. We've come a long way since March: onboarding is now completed inside the app with no redirects to other sites, the checklist is grouped into clear steps, and you can scan your driver licence. We're working every day to bring new features and improvements to drivers, so we'd love you to give the latest version a try. You can reach us through Support & feedback in the app or at support@budgetride.app.

Not worth it

Waste of time and money.. they need to do more to stand out in the Australian market and stand out..they are no where near their competitors. Many flaws in their app and no proper information for drivers missing many important links to be added. It’s a different type of exploitation they trying to sell to the Australian drivers in terms of a subscription plan when they have no true presence in the market yet. They have to work out on number of things on the app before they can be successful. Do not pay any subscription plans yet. Try first- post your comments so developers can do more to benefit the Australian drivers if it is really produced to help Aussies in the first place.
