This is a really cool app. I used it a couple of times. Once my car stalled and I needed a ride home from Walmart. Quick & easy put in my info and got a ride for me and my friend with our shopping packages. We live within 2 blocks of each other and the driver didn’t mind the 2 stops. I have even signed up to possibly be a Gopher myself.

impossible to get something delivered due to lack of couriers

Worst

Asked for my address 4 times, software is so bad and glitchy. Wouldn’t let me type in my card number. 1985 technology

Dead app that should be buried

I placed a request and waited almost an hour before contacting support. It said they reply in under 20 min and so I waited and waited and now it’s been an hour of waiting for a reply. Waited so long my request expired. Don’t waste your time with this app.

Cruddy.

I tried to order something and while it allowed me to input my credit card, it wouldn’t allow me to put in the other necessary information, which made me think that perhaps this app is just trolling for card numbers.
