User reviews

Drivers Cancel Rides

Though the prices are often low. Far too many drivers cancel rides when they’re on the way so you have to keep waiting for a long time for one to finally come

Empower

A friend told me about Empower and they are WAYYYYYY better than Uber or Lyft. I recommend everyone get this app if you don’t have a car

12 year old dirty cars

I’ve been over 30 nasty filthy unsanitary, rundown cars. I’m gonna just delete this app.

Frustrating

Too many drivers canceling on you

Fake low prices

When you request a cab, the fair price is extremely low compared to other apps and when you put your card in to pay the fare that you agreed upon to order the cab they charging you a different price, which is not right. when you put the right amount of the fare price on the card to give them access to charge it, it won’t go through unless you add more money and then when u add more money and u hit submit payment. You giving them access to charge you anything. It’s like a blank check.
