Beware of hidden fees

You are being slap with a International service charge regardless of how far you go. There is very little advantage for having another app on your phone.

Kazakhstan number error

Can’t register with Kazakh number. Why?

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. We'll address your concerns. Please contact us using the inquiry form on our website.

International mistake on my part

I accidentally rated the driver too low at first & then I panicked - but I was able up edit the rating. I sincerely hope the driver and his supervisor get the update because he was a very good and courteous driver.

Can’t add payment

Can’t add credit card because my US number is not active to receive the verification text. Also doesn’t work with Apple Pay.

Update: You need to let me use my email to get the authentication code rather than just my phone number registered. I think this would address people who lose access to their numbers if they need to turn off their eSIM.
