### 4/5 — Please fix

*2024-08-10*

I love the idea of this app. The rides I've had have been with very kind and competent drivers, but unfortunately the app no longer works. I cannot get past the phone number verification. Please fix the app so all the many people that want to support co-op owned businesses can!

### 2/5 — Automatically resetting.

*2024-07-19*

When i try typing destinations and origin, the screen resets every time, forcing me to retype after i already did that. There are the issues of no rides available, not enough recruitment. These issues still need to be addressed. I lile an alternative option, but fix these please.

Update:
So now the app tells me no user pool exists. I cannot use the app anymore. I tried getting customer service to offer me an explanation, but they never responded after 2 days.

I’m deleting this app. A great idea with no execution or support.

### 2/5 — User pool does not exist

*2024-06-28*

I can’t get past the phone number text verification request. When I enter a phone number I get an error saying user pool does not exist. Maybe because my phone number is not an NYC number? I would like to be able to use this service when I’m in town but it seems like that won’t be possible. I fully support this initiative though.

### 2/5 — Accessibility options don’t work

*2024-06-20*

There is no way to scroll down to see all of the accessibility options and confirm them. I can’t take a ride with my wheelchair.

### 3/5 — Needs accessibility option

*2024-04-08*

This app seems like a cool idea, but there’s one big issue- when you sign up, the app asks if you have accessibility needs. If you say you do, and tap what applies to you, there’s no option to continue with accessibility. There’s only an option to continue if you don’t have accessibility needs.

### 3/5 — App doesn’t load

*2021-11-11, version 6.03*

5 stars for the concept, 1 for the app which is required to get a ride.

### 3/5 — Good idea, needs work

*2021-10-16*

Really like this idea and want to support the local drivers, but every single time I’ve booted up the app it’s been considerably more expensive than Lyft or Via. If it doesn’t need to be less like you advertised, but at least make it comparable.

### 3/5 — apple pay

*2021-08-27, version 6.03*

please incorporate apple pay support

### 2/5 — Deceptive

*2021-07-07*

Used this app/company for the first time. Was quoted a price, however, this ended up not being the final cost. Uber and Lyft give you the final price when quoting. Furthermore, driver announced arrival although he was at incorrect address/street. Did not ask whether to use toll road or alternative. Don’t think I will use them again.

### 5/5 — Best ride share app in NYC

*2021-07-03, version 6.02*

This is the only choice for ridesharing in NYC!!!

### 1/5 — Error message upon setup

*2024-09-09*

When I try to sign up and submit a phone number for verification, the following error message pops up: "User pool does not exist." 

Please fix this-- we really need a good alternative to the rideshare monopolists.

### 1/5 — Great Idea but unable to use

*2024-04-22*

I like the idea of having an alternative to Lyft and Uber but I’ve tried a few times to set up this app an each time it’s failed and the screen simply turns white and unresponsive. I don’t know what’s going on but these issues need to be resolves if this idea is going to be effective in any way.

### 1/5 — Absolutely useless, had to delete app. Shame

*2024-04-06*

Absolutely useless, had to delete app. Shame

### 1/5 — Stuck on Continue

*2024-03-29*

After successfully providing my card details clicking on the continue button does nothing.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-02-18, version 6.18*

It keeps telling me that the sim code they are sending me is incorrect…it’s the exact code

### 1/5 — Good driver, pricing is worse that uber/lift

*2022-10-03, version 6.03*

The drivers are friendly but the pricing is not transparent. They dont honor the quoted price and they dont give explanation when your final bill blow up to almost double.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2022-04-29*

This company scammed me. When I pre-booked my first ride they gave me one price, after the ride ended I was charged double. They did not honor the price I was initially quoted when I pre-booked with no explanation why the fair changed. Bait and switch tactic used here. When I tried calling the company to get an explanation no one picked up. Unless you want to get scammed stick with lyft or Uber, at least you pay what you are quoted. Co-op should not be in business with these types of business tactics.

### 1/5 — Can’t sign up

*2021-09-04, version 6.03*

I can’t even create an account. And there’s no error message anywhere offering even a hint as to why. I retyped my password and the password confirmation, I added a digit to my username, I re-formatted my phone number from (111)-123-4567 to just 1111234567 (one thing at a time, not all in one go). Nothing worked and still no error messages. Only the “cancel” button works, not the account creation button.

### 1/5 — No cars seemingly available

*2021-07-18, version 6.02*

Requested ride 3 times.  Each time ETA was 2 - 7 minutes and cars display on map nearby.  Each time no driver dispatched.  Just keeps on searching for a driver.  Seems like the cars on map aren’t representations of real cars.

### 1/5 — Too expensive

*2021-06-14, version 6.02*

100$ for a car to jfk from manhattan without any included fees? This is way too expensive.

### 5/5 — Love the update

*2023-10-02*

Great user interface that’s easy to use — big improvement from the previous app. Love the concept and hope it continues to grow!

### 5/5 — Great idea

*2023-08-23*

This company owned by the drivers, it’s really great idea. Need your support 😊🙏

### 5/5 — Tip

*2022-12-19*

My company uses this service when working overtime.   I am using for myself for the first time and I recently discovered how the tip option works.  You have to go into your profile and select the default gratuity percent or choose other to set a customized amount.   I don’t see any other way.   Hope this is helpful.

### 5/5 — Best Ride Share Service

*2022-11-25*

Cheaper and more reliable than Uber and Lyft. Drivers get paid much better than with Uber and Lyft. This is better than Uber and Lyft in every way.

### 5/5 — Simply the best.

*2022-04-30, version 6.03*

Must have if available in your area. The best decision you’ll make all day every time you use it.

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2021-10-16, version 6.03*

Great app! Love the experience and love supporting drivers

### 5/5 — Great app but needs some work

*2021-08-19*

I recently scheduled a ride in advance and was unable to add a tip after the trip. The app also seemed to automatically assign a star rating to the trip without my input.

### 5/5 — Super reliable

*2021-07-28, version 6.02*

Drivers have been really nice and I’m happy to use an app that’s not exploitative like Uber or Lyft 🥰

### 5/5 — Good service, not as expensive

*2021-07-25, version 6.02*

First time user. Impressed. As good as the majors, much cheaper, and the money goes to the drivers.

### 5/5 — Great app, great drivers

*2021-07-15*

Driver-owned rideshare is the way to go! Drivers have been friendly and the app is easy to use. If there isn’t a driver nearby it tells you quickly, so I always try this first. I’m confident that as more people sign up it will only get better!
