### 1/5 — Useless setup

*2022-02-23*

Absolutely crap, can’t get any further than mobile verification as it doesn’t send the code

### 1/5 — Full of bugs. Completely outdated app. Waste of time!!

*2020-09-24*

What a waste of time. This app hasn’t been updated for ages. It’s completely outdated in terms of layout, but the worst is the fact that doesn't work. Full of bugs and I couldn’t book a cab at all

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2019-10-05*

This app is terrible. It won’t recognise my address (in central London), keeps in recognising it and then not, putting it back to somewhere else on my street, won’t allow me to type in boxes or delete when I need to, and just froze. It won’t allow you to type in an address, only locate it on a map which takes ages and won’t work if I’m not familiar with locations. I just wasted over half an hour setting it up and it doesn’t work. Complete waste of my time.

### 1/5 — lost wallet

*2019-06-01, version 4.0*

I lost my wallet in a cab and have no way of contacting anyone to get it.  I only have the cab driver’s name.

### 5/5 — Good

*2018-12-23*

Very good app

### 5/5 — Best App

*2017-10-11*

I always use it to hail the TAXI. It's great you can pay cash or on the card no problem.

### 1/5 — Lost Item/no contact info

*2017-04-28, version 2.0.3*

I left a very expensive item in a taxi and have no way of contacting anyone to retrieve it.

### 1/5 — No one showed

*2017-04-19*

Downloaded the app after I saw it in a cab I was taking in Preston. Tried to pre-book a taxi 6 hours in advance but booking wasn't accepted by a driver and no notification from the app to tell me so, despite notifications being turned on. Effectively useless.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-02-05*

Great for getting around town

### 5/5 — Worked well for me👍

*2017-01-27*

Like !
Used Uber and other apps like this too
