Good, Not Great

I’m a new driver to the platform looking to escape the scams of Uber and Lyft. After completing 2 days of driving I’m listing the pro and cons so far…

✅ better pay than Uber and Lyft
✅ you can adjust your fare rates
✅ links to Apple, Google, and Waze
✅ simplified driver/rider ratings

🚩 riders aren’t vetted like drivers
🚩 fares take time to process
🚩 app is severely glitchy at times
🚩 instant cash out once a day
🚩 instant cash out limit is only $100
🚩 reviews about monthly charges
🚩 reviews about lack of support

I believe customer support should be more accessible considering riders don’t undergo background checks (I created a rider account too). What happens in the event of an accident, a mess left by the rider, or an altercation with a rider not screened?

The best app ever

I love this app so much. I just want everybody to come and ride and drive with this app. This app is so special, people please join us. Enjoy the ride.

Great idea

It started as a very good idea, but it has too many shortcomings. First, the passenger's exact location is not visible in the app. Second, there is no indication of the waiting time or the time limit. Third, once a trip is accepted, it is impossible to switch to "offline" mode. Fourth, it sends far too many notifications. Fifth, the app continues to track my location even when I am offline. Sixth, I cannot see the level of demand in my area. Finally, there should also be a dedicated screen for scheduled (booked) rides.

Scam!!!!!!!

Be very careful when using this app they charge you $200 to use the app. Also they take your money whenever they feel like it and they would deactivate your account and take all the money in your account for whatever reason they create also, this app is not safe you could pick up anybody and there’s no information on the writer. There’s no way to contact anybody if you have any issues with the writers so I would think twice.
