## What is GoCatch?

GoCatch – Where will you go next? We're the Australian option with lower fares everyday.  Tap the app to get a GoCatch quickly and safely. 

There’s a GoCatch for every moment, whether it’s your daily commute, a trip to the airport or a night out with friends, and we’re available Australia-wide. Book ahead with Advance Bookings – have a car waiting for you right when you need it most, day or night – from 30 minutes to 1 year in advance. 

Requesting a GoCatch is simple: 
- Open the GoCatch app and enter your destination. 
- Choose from Economy, Premium, Taxi, Premium Taxi or Maxi. 
- Tap Request to see the fare estimate and to choose your payment method. 
- Confirm and you’ll see your driver’s arrival in real-time on the map, along with their picture, vehicle and contact details. 
- Payment with GoCatch is easy. If you’re paying with Apple Pay, PayPal or your saved credit/debit card in a GoCatch Economy, Premium, Taxi, Premium Taxi or Maxi, simply hop out at the end and it’ll be automatically paid for in-app. Taxi, Premium Taxi and Maxi also accept cash payments. 
- Invoices are directly sent to your email. 
- Rate your driver with a simple Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down and help us ensure we exceed your expectations. 

If you need a quick and affordable ride for everyday trips, select Economy. Or if you are after an elevated experience with a luxury vehicle, select Premium - it’s great for those special events or date night. 

When you have lots of friends or luggage to move, get a Maxi for maximum space. Or if you simply need a reliable Taxi to get where you need to go without hailing outside, there are thousands available with convenient cash and card payment.

### 5/5 — Good ride share

*2018-11-13, version 7.7.4*

I prefer Go Catch to some of the other ride shares. It gives me the choice of using taxis if I want and I can use ApplePay.

### 1/5 — Facebook login problem

*2018-11-12, version 7.7.4*

There’s is a problem with Facebook login implementation!! It won’t open Facebook login!!! Please fix it

### 1/5 — Major quality control issues

*2018-08-28, version 7.7.3*

Quality of drivers are terrible. I’ve used 4 times and had 2 bad experiences. One driver was so bad I felt I was seriously in danger (speeding, slamming on breaks, etc.). Customer service was also very very poor when I tried to get my money back for this scary ride.

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2018-06-16, version 7.6.0*

The best! And so attentive. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Expensive and unreliable

*2018-05-31, version 7.5.1*

I downloaded it only to use the $20 voucher. My trip was $17, but they charged my cc $26 4 days ago and it is still pending. I assume they will release my money soon, but that’s not cool. Once I get my money back, I’m deleting it. Also, when you compare with other apps, the rates of gocatch are approx 30% higher. Stay away.

### 1/5 — Terrible service

*2018-01-01, version 7.3.0*

Quick to take your credit card (2 min email response) don’t respond from same email account to charge query (24 hours & waiting). Save time, go straight to Uber.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2017-12-21, version 7.2.2*

Driver never turned up and customer support was pathetic. I missed my flight thanks to this app.

### 1/5 — Garbage. Left us stranded

*2016-10-26, version 5.5.4*

Didn't apply the First time user credit to our first ride. Then left us in a cab unable to complete payment. The driver forced us to stay in he car until we had to have a friend come bring us money. This app not only mislead us with a fake user credit but glitches in it caused a confrontation between us and a driver who was trying to collect. 
Don't waste your time or money. Uber or lyft if you can. 
(And the fare wasn't even cheaper at all)

### 1/5 — Very Effective - Needs more cabs

*2016-04-03, version 5.4.1*

This used to be a good app. Unfortunately GoCatch have got greedy and the launch of GoCar in Sydney has driven Melbourne taxi drivers off the app so there are now no longer any cabs. Quite rightly as taxi drivers fear for their livelihoods. Why should they support a company trying to destroy their businesses. 

 It used to take 2-3 minutes tops to get a cab to the airport in the morning now it takes over 10. GoCatch need to refocus on Ta I booking if they want to stay in business.

### 5/5 — Try Harder, not even close to Uber

*2016-01-02, version 5.2.4*

Try Harder, not even close to Uber. 
Please provide a fare estimate before the booking is confirmed.
