### 1/5 — Plenty of drivers across the city, but no one wants to accept the order.

*2026-04-30, version 1.17.0*

Terrible service with absolutely awful customer care!! These guys (drivers) also work for Uber on the side and artificially inflate prices. I’ve already taken a ride from Avalon Mall to the airport for $26; now the price shows $28, but as soon as I place the order, I get a response: “Sorry, we can’t find a driver for you.” Meanwhile, the price on Uber with these same drivers is $60.
I’d like to understand whether there are any penalties for these kinds є of shady tactics.

### 5/5 — Great way to beat uber surcharge

*2025-12-24, version 1.17.0*

As the local cab company they have a fixed rate so a much better choice during congested times compared to ride share services which do a surcharge

### 4/5 — App problems

*2024-12-23, version 1.15.0*

I love this app it is honestly fantastic and so good. Sadly I believe there are still kinks to be worked out! I have been kicked from the app and cannot log back in my only option is to sign up again sadly I can’t because of my email! The only other issue I’ve ever had is the almost constant asking for phone number confirmation in my mind it is completely unnecessary.

### 1/5 — Awful customer service

*2024-08-16, version 1.11.0*

Rude call agent, ride failed to be booked on time.

### 5/5 — Fast trip

*2024-03-29, version 1.9.0*

Trip was fast

### 5/5 — Basically UBER

*2024-03-15, version 1.9.0*

I use the app very frequently and also have used Uber a lot. The app is so similar! Just make sure if you pay on the app that the driver doesn’t also make you pay

### 2/5 — Lack of Mission and Vision.

*2024-02-15, version 1.9.0*

Scandal! In good weather, there are always taxis. But it is impossible to find a taxi in snowy weather. I guess you are waiting for the weather to get better to work. But I can already walk in good weather. When it comes to transportation, you must have a mission. But I guess not. I walked not for one day, but for days because I could not find a taxi in the snowy weather. Maybe to do this job, you should have more cars.

### 5/5 — Amazing app 10/10

*2024-01-10, version 1.7.0*

Finally an app to see where your taxis is and how long until he will be at your destination. 10/10 for taxis in Newfoundland

### 3/5 — Almost missed it

*2023-12-16, version 1.7.0*

Driver was amazing, car was not at the correct location. Not his fault.  There are two locations on the same property that you will need to figure out.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-11-25, version 1.7.0*

The app keeps saying something went wrong.  Try again.
