### 1/5 — Crash

*2021-12-20*

How are you even providing the service if no one can use the app?? The email and phone number doesn’t work either.

### 1/5 — No Clue Crashes EVERY Time

*2021-12-14*

Really wanted to learn more about this service since it’s launching in my city in a few days. Like other reviews said, it crashes every time I launch the app after signing up. Also, no support for this. Please fix otherwise Charlotte won’t be able to use this when you launch!

### 1/5 — App Crashes Immediately

*2021-11-26*

Gest just came to my town and would love you use it. However, the app just crashes when you open it. No one to contact for app support.

### 1/5 — App won’t run on iPhone 13 Pro/iOS 15.1.1

Garbage app, won’t even run.  Launch and it immediately dies.

### 1/5 — Would love to try this

*2021-11-23*

But the app crashes immediately on launch after signing up. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app with the same result. Hopefully they get the bugs worked out.

*2021-11-22, version 1.1.0*

App crashing still. Every time

### 1/5 — App failing to open

*2021-11-22, version 1.1.0*

Repeated failures for app to stay open. Probably a bug that needs to be fixed.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2021-11-22, version 1.1.0*

Opens for 1 second and crashes - hopefully the drivers apps are better

### 1/5 — Can’t use App. Crashes on opening

*2021-11-20*

I read about this company and thought how awesome. Just downloaded the mobile app and it crashes every time I try to open it. The “app support” here just takes you to a page on how to use. No contact us can be found. I really wanted to try this service but can’t Hopefully the app gets fixed. I use an iPhone OS 14.8.1

### 1/5 — App is rubbish

*2025-11-24*

I was able to register but the app simply doesn’t work. I get stuck on a white screen and not able to use it.

### 1/5 — app not Accessible at All to Blind Users

*2025-08-21*

It is very unfortunate that a transportation app would Not be accessible to blind people. However, someone using a voice over to read their screen is not even able to create an account. Please consider working with blind people to make this app usable. The service is going to be available in my area by 1 September, and I sadly will not be able to use it at all because of the barrier you have created by not considering accessibility.

### 1/5 — Data breach

*2025-05-02, version 1.1.6*

The first QR code on the vehicle was a broken link, the second got me signed up just for me to discover that no rides were available. My ride history contains a data breach revealing many previous rides others have taken in other cities. I then found no way to delete my account or contact help, only a PDF explaining that they have the right to track me. I wonder who has my phone, address and email this time? The app icon is also improperly cropped. This should be removed from the app store.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2025-03-19*

The app crashes when I click save after entering my destination.

### 1/5 — App freezes

*2024-12-30*

After entering pick up and drop off, the app freezes.  Wish this worked!

### 1/5 — Crashes, Completely Unusable

*2024-07-11, version 1.1.6*

Crashes every time I try to schedule a ride.

### 1/5 — Does it work?

*2024-05-09, version 1.1.6*

I saw two empty cars pass me today, so I tried to use the app to get one. All the app said was: Looking for available drivers.

### 1/5 — Very unstable app :-(

*2021-12-28*

Love to be able to use the service but the app keeps crashing. Try to reinstall but doesn’t make a difference. Oh well, I guess it’s back to Uber and Lyft.

### 1/5 — It’s the crashing for me 🙄

*2021-12-23, version 1.1.0*

Please fix this… ASAP

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2021-12-20*

I look forward to trying this service but for now it doesn’t work. Crashes upon opening.

### 5/5 — Loved the Ride

*2021-12-29, version 1.1.1*

Great new way to get around Downtown Detroit!

### 5/5 — Makes sense

*2021-07-25*

Title says all but the point is Uber and those apps are expensive.  This is a simple way to get around

### 5/5 — Great Service

*2020-08-05*

This transportation service is so fun and super easy! The drivers that I have had are all really friendly and I feel safe with them! It’s a no brainer if you are deciding between Gest, Uber or Lyft! 5 stars!!!!!

### 5/5 — Best Ride App for Downtown Cincinnati

*2020-08-05*

If you live/work in downtown Cincinnati this is the best option! Highly recommend

### 5/5 — The best!

*2020-08-05, version 1.0.4*

Best transportation to get around downtown cincy!

### 5/5 — Amazing Service

*2020-08-05*

The best way to get around Cinci!! I’ll never pay for an Uber again.

### 5/5 — Better than Uber or Lyft

*2020-07-30*

If you live or work in downtown Cincinnati, this app is better than Uber or Lyft! It’s 100% free so it’s a great service to quickly bar hop or get to a restaurant on the other side of town quickly. Just remember to tip your driver!

### 2/5 — Great concept, terrible app

*2024-12-28*

I really love the idea behind Gest – it’s such a great travel concept, and I was excited to use it to get around the city. However, the app itself is extremely frustrating to use. Every time I try to enter an address, the app crashes, and the screen just turns white. I’ve tried restarting, reinstalling, and updating, but the issue keeps happening.

I really hope the developers address these bugs soon because I can see a lot of potential in this service. Once the app is fixed and more stable, I’d happily use it regularly. For now, I’ll have to wait and hope for improvements.

Fingers crossed for an update soon!

### 2/5 — Super buggy. Non-functional

*2024-09-22*

The app is super buggy. 
Once you’ve created your account, the first step is to select your city of service and your pickup location. Once set (i.e., save), the app will try to aggregate your location. 

… Then the bugs begin to manifest.

While navigating the map, it will jitter severely. Not smooth at all. You will swipe, it will move and stop midway.  In case you’re wondering… it’s not an internet connectivity issue. It will take several swipes to get where you need to go.

Once you’ve managed to drop the map pin to your intended destination and tap on save, the app will do two things:

1) Aggregate your destination’s address and actually perform as expected, or…

2) Give you the “white screen of death.” Nothing happens and you’re forced to restart the app. 

I love the concept of the app/service, but this app is severely handicapped.

Hopefully we’ll see a change in the near future.

### 2/5 — Love the idea, not the execution

*2022-08-17*

I love the idea of Gest and when it works, it’s awesome. My issue is that 95% of the time I call a Gest cart, a driver never picks up. And yes, I’m only using the app during business hours. (Do the drivers even use the app?) Further, the app freezes on me half the time. I’ve had better luck flagging down a cart on the street. The drivers are really nice - I wish there was a way to tip via credit card.
