Bug fixes

User reviews

No more email receipts

The app works, although there appears to be no system for prioritising bookings - it seems literally every citizen could book a car for the same time & then just have to wait, wait, wait for one to turn up because demand well outstrips supply. But also the new issue of email receipts no longer being available is my main reason to step away from this company. I need a proper receipt & a screen shot of the app booking does not show full addresses & the drivers just scribble whatever down so that’s no use either. Seems like an easy fix but it’s been down for weeks and week now so I need to go elsewhere.

Scam company

This company takes bookings and payments but then does not honor the booking. Taxis booked from this company regularly are no shows.

Completely non-functional

I use this app regularly & it has become completely non-functional. Just spins & spins & doesn’t connect with a taxi. I would prefer to use black cabs to uber but this is unusable.

I’d give it zero stars if I could

If the brief was to make this a total faff to use, then congratulations, objective achieved.

Don’t use app if you’re on a time constraint

I booked a taxi ahead of time for a designated time pickup. When they didn’t show up I called and they said I didn’t have anything booked and then said it would be a 30 minute wait. Ok I can’t control the wait time but what’s the point in scheduling if it doesn’t register? So I cancel the ride in the app since it’s useless and wait another 30 minutes. I call back and I’m told I have no ride coming because I cancelled my ride in the app. So apparently your booking does not get a taxi only cancels ride if you call them? This app is dumb and makes no sense. Now my wife is once and mad at me because she thinks I’m Incompetent of booking a taxi.
