Thank you for your review. We'll take care of your concerns. Please contact us using the in-app inquiry form.

Very reliable app for Japan

As a foreign traveler, instagram recommended some apps for Japan, many failed to work. Go App is the most reliable app that we can depend on. Fast response, accurate routes, and relatively cheap ride. Better than taking connecting metros. Thank you Go!

Up charge for foreigners

Is it just because you can? You should hide it better than a foreigner fee.

中国的手机没办法注册使用

自由行的中国人也很多，为什么+86和11位手机号码没办法接收短信注册，不注册就没办法使用。短信费用我可以自己承担。前几天在鳥取的米子市，海边的温泉酒店因为没办法注册，总是摆脱酒店前台帮我们打车，希望能改善
