User reviews

Ridiculous effort to get HOV discount

You should not have to ALWAYS share your location and force guests in your car to do the same to get an HOV discount when AI can review the camera footage. Total invasion of privacy to have to enable location sharing Bluetooth to get a discount on a $24 toll. To maintain privacy I have location settings disabled and must enable each time which is a driving safety hazard.

Never get HOV Discount

My wife and I both have GoCarma running on our phones, but we still don’t get the HOV discount. Perhaps we are missing something, but it need not be this difficult.

Review

Easy and Quick access

Dumb

Who thought it was a good idea to require a driver to launch an app and configure settings while driving in order to get an HOV rate?!? They have a million cameras on HOV to make sure they bill people but require all these extra steps to get HOV?!?

Cash Out No Working

I started using this app because of the rewards to cash out and every time i try it says it’s in testing period. I think it wants to track my location only. Going to get rid of this app. No use if I can’t cash out.
