### 1/5 — Short ride

*2026-08-13, version 7.1.4*

Driver gives attitude on short ride

### 4/5 — Air freshener free option please!

*2026-08-11, version 7.1.4*

Love having a cab app alternative to rideshares, but one of the huge benefits of a yellow cab is that they’re required to have air freshener-free air. Curb is giving me cars with the poisonous little trees and it makes me wish I’d just hailed a cab.

### 3/5 — R Robert

*2026-08-08, version 7.1.4*

It took me the entire ride to get it to pair.

### 5/5 — Convenient and functions well

*2026-08-06, version 7.1.4*

I haven’t had a problem with this platform. It’s easier and faster to get a cab at ORD than an Uber.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-08-06, version 7.1.4*

If you don’t pay in advance and just hail a taxi, prepare to pay 25-50% more for your rate especially if coming from an airport. Will never use again and will stick with other ride share apps as they don’t overcharge. Use the competition as they are up front with rates regardless of how it’s booked. I will never use Curb again and will be filing a formal complaint.

### 1/5 — Poor UX

*2026-08-03, version 7.1.4*

I wonder if the developers of this app actually use the app? After setting up an acct, loading my (US) credit card in as default, setting my home (US) address - I tried to use it for first time: 

- first it selected wrong address using GPS as opposed to my home address where I was - it was a couple hundred meters off. 

- it was defaulting to my Apple Pay (which is my Brazilian credit card which I never use when in U.S.) even though I had just set my U.S. card as payment method. 

In summary dumb and dumber and not worth the minute or two of my wasted time so I’ll just stick to Uber.

### 1/5 — ipad in the face is the worst way to travel

*2026-08-03, version 7.1.4*

that part of this sucks so much

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-08-01, version 7.1.4*

Fantastic alternative to Uber/Lyft. Usually cheaper, too!!

### 1/5 — Changing destination

*2026-08-01, version 7.1.4*

App keeps changing destination

### 1/5 — Payment method rejected

*2026-07-30, version 7.1.3*

ApplePay & Amex rejected after pairing with code. Get your act together. No wonder Uber & Lyft are so popular
