### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-06-29, version 1.7*

Taxi was on time and no surge charging 🙏🏼

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-06-11*

This app is an absolute must when visiting London. Black cab drivers are very impressive in their knowledge of monuments, attractions, streets and hospitality as they require years of training to be cab drivers. Other transport companies are not recommended unfortunately as there are no required years of training to navigate the complex roads of London and earn the accomplishment of being a black cab driver. All our drivers had been living in London many years and offered amazing insight and cool stories of England. Safety was never a concern and prices were decent for big city travel and avoiding public transportation. Highly recommend this app to help you quickly find a taxi to safely and efficiently travel London with good fun and conversation on the way!

### 5/5 — Simple, convenient, comfortable

*2026-06-06, version 1.7*

Simple and convenient app to hail a black cab. No need to add your card details or pay the tech bros - just pay the driver directly. Really comfortable taxis with safe drivers. Would like to be able to specify an electric cab, but suppose they’ll all be electric soon.

### 5/5 — Excellent ease of use and no account making needed!

*2026-06-04, version 1.7*

Very nice as the app hails a cab in less than 5 minutes, payment is truly fair square, and even reminded to reject any other methods of payment outside of TFL’s regulation. Dead simple UI which is a relief to see, overall a very nice app. Would be better if the app is able to tell riders what kind of cab is getting hailed (Vito, TXE, or TX4)

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-04-27, version 1.7*

Never let me down. Would always recommend to anyone travelling about in London

### 5/5 — Best way to e-hail a London cab

*2026-04-26*

App works really well. Best part? None of the excessive fees that the other apps use!

### 1/5 — Fraudulent

*2026-04-19*

Doesn’t track your progress. Driver can claim you put in something else and cheat you easily.

### 1/5 — Worst experience

*2026-03-02, version 1.6*

Linked me with the worst cab driver I’ve ever had. 

He drove 10mph on a 50mph road, almost crashed several times, on his phone constantly, took a “shortcut” that amounted a 20 minute detour to take us 200m up the road by needlessly going round the back of Euston and made a bunch of racist comments about other drivers.

The journey should have cost £40 but ended up costing £105. Go with literally any other app this is not the one.

### 5/5 — So easy to use

*2026-02-28, version 1.6*

Does what it says on the tin. Our cab arrived in seconds. Driver was amazing. Easy to pay using the reader in the back. Would highly recommend.

### 5/5 — London back again

*2026-02-21, version 1.6*

Genius! This is revolutionary!
