### 5/5 — Drive and plant trees!  Sweet!

*2021-09-10, version 2.14.0*

This is a great idea!  Easy to use!  Tree huggers, unite and Hytch!

### 5/5 — No more anxiety about when my driver arrives!

*2021-08-10*

Three of us carpool to save money.  With Hytch we can all see the driver in route to us.  I know exactly when to walk out front to jump in - like the best part of Uber, but without the gigantic cost.

### 5/5 — Great to be in community again …

*2021-07-05, version 2.13.2*

And able to ride together, track our miles, and plant some trees!

### 5/5 — Such a clean and easy to use app

*2021-04-30*

I love the overall experience of the app  as well as how it looks. Just recently I started using the app and have really enjoyed making a difference as well as earning rewards.

### 5/5 — Travel anywhere guilt free

*2021-03-20, version 2.13.1*

I love that you can do any drive with anyone and save trees - even if you drive alone!

### 5/5 — Win win win

*2021-03-10*

I dig this app. 
My boss encouraged our company to start using Hytch to promote ride sharing and greener ways of commuting to/from our office. 
I was a little hesitant at first, but now I am a big fan.
Super easy app to set up and use; not only tracks the miles you’ve traveled, the trees you’ve saved, and resulting decreases in CO2 emissions, but also it PAYS YOU! 
Put simply, I feel like a better parent and citizen using Hytch.

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2021-02-06*

One of my favorite features is the ability to track how many trees I have saved by reducing carbon emissions through sharing rides! I just got started and I am already saving trees! 

This is a great way to develop and maintain environmentally friendly habits. I firmly believe that the solution to our huge environmental challenges is doing free and fun things like using this app!

### 5/5 — Make every mile carbon neutral

*2021-01-19*

This app gives all of us a simple way to offset our carbon emissions, and if your employer uses Hytch, it can even pay you cash for sharing rides. Brilliant concept. Good for everyone. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Totally different rewards

*2020-12-08, version 2.11.2*

Love it - anytime I ride somewhere in my car, their car, Uber or Lyft, any carpool or solo - east to use while reducing carbon, getting rewarded, more trees. What’s not to love about it..

### 5/5 — Sonja H

*2020-03-04*

I really enjoy this phone app. Easy to use and they are always looking to improve. My friends and family are now competing to see who can Hytch more. This stresses ride sharing and helping our environment which is great since me and my husband carpool since I relocated to work in Nashville. Good job on creating something like this.

### 5/5 — Tennessee State Employee

*2020-03-04*

I am a proud user for approximately 1 year and excited for all of the benefits: reducing our roadway users, reducing traffic (everyone benefits), improving the road conditions by reducing the number of cars that wear & tear, reducing pollution, improving air quality, helping our planet, and last but not least putting a few dollars in our pocket. 

This app is user friendly and technical support was there for me that one time, and is interested in your comments. I am excited about spreading the word and reaping all the benefits.

### 5/5 — Easy to Use

*2019-12-06*

I’ve just started scratching the surface of Hytch but I’ve found it’s easy and fun to use. I’m excited to explore alternative ways to get around Nashville using the app. I’m tired of logging so many solo miles behind the windshield. If not public transit, I’ll take carpooling any day.

### 5/5 — It’s About Time!

*2019-12-05, version 2.8.8*

Hytch is a great way to track your contribution to protecting our environment, and get rewards for it, too! It’s nice that there’s now an easy way to align incentives between employers, corporate sponsors and everyday folks who want to reduce their carbon footprint, and all share in the benefits. Thanks Hytch!

### 4/5 — Good App with or without cash rewards.

*2019-09-22, version 2.7.3*

The developers are really working hard on making this app great.

### 5/5 — I love carbon neutral life!

*2019-07-02, version 2.4.1*

I have a good habit now for getting my Hytch on! It took a little while to change my habits but I am a Hytch Fan.

### 5/5 — Georgia Cares

*2019-06-30*

Took a minute to set up, but it’s super easy to use.  This is a great idea. If you’re like me - we have to drive to work.  But for the future of my three kids, I’m ready to share rides.  I had no idea I could do my part to fight climate change by tracking my carpool.

**Developer response:** We love that you care about the future of the planet! Thanks for doing your part to fight climate change by sharing rides to work. Happy Hytchin'

### 5/5 — Super cool!!

*2019-06-30, version 2.4.1*

I live in Denver where most of us actually care about the environment!  I love the idea I can drive any one of my three cars and get zero emission credit when I share the drive using Hytch.  It’s free!  Everyone do this!!!

### 1/5 — So many bug issues

*2020-03-02, version 2.8.8*

I was able to successfully use the app only once until it had a bunch of bug issues. I wasn’t able to open the app after that. It would crash every time. I tried deleting it and downloading it again but it wouldn’t even get me past the passcode page even though I entered my passcode from the text they sent me correctly. Tried it on a couple of occasions and it wouldn’t work.

### 1/5 — No Good Anymore

*2019-06-28, version 2.4.1*

Would give negative stars if possible. My husband & I used to Hytch when he was home. Now they only pay for ride shares ending in Davidson county during a small window of time. There was no notice this was going to happen. Guess they got too big too fast & couldn’t afford to pay people. Too bad because it was a great concept

### 1/5 — This is only a spy app! Beware!

*2019-06-18, version 2.4.1*

Used to be a decent app but they make a lot of changes not for the better. Not worth the time no more points for morning commutes. No car commute points, very VERY few points for afternoon commutes but unhitches for no reason without letting you know in the evening commute. If I could give zero stars I would.

### 1/5 — Crashes and Fails to Connect

*2018-04-04, version 1.03*

It’s a great incentive to use mass transit, but it just doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — It had great potential

*2018-03-28, version 1.03*

The concept of reward people for ride sharing and use of public transportation is great. However, the app is not capable of handling users in the beta version. The app frequently drops a riders and fails to credit riders for miles ridden.   They need to spend more time developing the app and purchasing the necessary servers to handle the volume of users.

### 1/5 — This app is repulsive !!!

*2018-03-14, version 1.03*

I was in the car for 2 hours and made 50¢, but my co-rider made no money! We tried again and the app crashed 4 times throughout 3 hours and none of us made any money!! Would NOT recommend this!!

### 2/5 — Now losing connection

*2019-03-05, version 2.0.3*

My husband and I commute together to work and have been “Hytching” since last summer. The app has worked beautifully until this latest update. We have never had an issue losing our connection until now. I hope this gets resolved. We are going to try reloading the app again.

### 2/5 — So Disappointing

*2018-12-19, version 1.092*

I’m an avid Hytch user and so disappointed with the new version.  I can’t get the text to reactivate to come through fir entry, and have reached out to customer service through the app twice - no response.  I’ve missed nearly two weeks of Hytch opportunities.  At this point - I’ve stopped recommending the app.

### 2/5 — Crashes every time

*2018-04-08, version 1.03*

Worked great for a while but now crashes every time I try to use it!

### 2/5 — Unstable crashes all the time

*2018-03-29*

Great idea and cool to make money for carpooling but super frustrating that it crash 50% of the time.  Also on long drives now way to know if your getting credit or not until us finish ride with a frustrating “error” message.  Seems to have issues on trips over 20 miles every time i go that far or more I always get error message.  Wish they would ad a feature to show u earning in real time so u know if you earning or bot in real time.

**Developer response:** Experiencing glitches is frustrating. We've made some improvements and released new updates to make your Hytches more seamless. Happy Hytchin'

### 5/5 — Planting Trees while driving.

*2024-07-19*

Thank you for making it possible for me to plant trees while driving, and in particular on my long multi-state drives.  

Hytch adds a sense of relief for me, knowing that I’m not just offsetting my carbon footprint in some unknown way, but planting a tree at fixed intervals of distance while I drive!  I don’t change anything about my behavior, and yet im making the planet a slightly better place just by opening this app while driving.  

Commute.  Don’t pollute.

### 5/5 — Washington DC needs Hytch

*2022-09-30, version 2.17.1*

The idea we pay people for sharing rides is excellent.  People who do good things deserve rewards!

### 5/5 — First Time User

*2022-09-19, version 2.17.1*

Very cool experience, very easy

### 5/5 — This is soul food for mobile vegans

*2022-09-16, version 2.17.1*

I eat right.  Like you, I thank the universe for good things, including blessings like hytch rewards - this is a cool app!  Easy to use!  I plant trees when I drive.  Love it!

### 5/5 — Easy to use and a Win-Win!

*2022-07-21*

This app is very intuitive and easy to use. It’s an easy way to reduce traffic, participate in a greener future - all while getting paid to do so! Download and start making $ and planting trees. A+ app.

### 5/5 — This is smart

*2022-05-24, version 2.16.3*

Everyone gets to plant a tree no matter where or why they drive?  Love the environmental impact feedback.  This is easy to pitch in to save the world…. Let’s Hytch!

### 5/5 — Smart for the planet!

*2022-04-28, version 2.16.3*

Nashville needs Hytch Rewards!  I’m all about environmental change.  From composting to ride sharing!  Let’s httch!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2022-04-22, version 2.16.2*

I really think this app is great and I love how you can pick and track the benefits that you think are most valuable!

### 5/5 — Thank You

*2022-04-19*

To use a product that saves trees, creates carpooling, and network opportunities is wonderful. The hytch app incentivizes environmental friendliness and bringing us closer together. I have used this app for a long time and it is wonderful to see during road trips and save the world at the same time. Please use the hytch app and help the environment while making a few dollars at the same time.

### 5/5 — An app that we should all use

*2022-04-08, version 2.16.2*

Hutch is an app that is a no brainer. 

Simply put, it’s easy to use, incentivizes good behavior, and rewards you for it. 

Plus it’s helping the environment! 

I mean, what’s not to like?

Everyone should use it.
