### 1/5 — Do not recommand

*2026-08-12, version 7.12.0*

There is no freaking texi that is near. Genuinely no point of using this app. so useless, riding public transportation is much faster. How can there be no single rider on call.

### 1/5 — 씨팔 주차하는데 이만원을 내란다 ㅋㅋㅋ

*2026-08-03*

자전거 구역 무슨기준으로 처 나누는지도모르겠고 한발짝만 바깥으로 가서 주차하면 거기 자전거 대는비용으로만 2만원을 처~ 씨팔 내란다

### 1/5 — 우버가 아직도 안되는 서울

*2026-07-22, version 7.11.0*

아직도 멀었음... 중간에 도착지 변경도 안됨. 도착예정시간도 부정확하고 택시들 냄새 및 불친절 심각.

### 1/5 — 對外國人來說不方便

*2026-07-17*

在去韓國之前查說用當地app比uber taxi還好用，但結果因為每次地址搜尋或是複製貼上都很難用，我們的飯店工作人員親切幫我們用他自己的帳號叫車，比且告知我們要付的金額，但是抵達目的地卻比我們被告知金額多出2300韓元，雖然不是負擔不起，對於這種不誠實行徑讓我們旅程覺得很掃興，而且不只一台司機這樣。感覺此app對於負評司機應該管理一下
We do a lot research that local app is more convenient than uber taxi, but unfortunately this app is really hard to use for the address copy paste. The staff of hotel is very kind to help us use his own account to call the taxi and the fee even showed on the app. The staff informed us that fee that we should pay. But the dishonest driver asked us to pay more which showed on this meters. And not only this driver! These bad experiences made our trip in Korea awful…. I think this app should manage these kind of bad drivers.

### 1/5 — 使えない

*2026-07-07*

使いづらい。生年月日がうまく入れられない。そもそも使えない。何とかして下さい。

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2026-06-27*

Once I got used to using this app, I found it very simple and efficient.

### 5/5 — 고치세요

*2026-06-22*

맨날 기사님들 도착 2,3분전이라 뜨고 10분넘게 기다린게 한두번이 아니에요 제시간에 도착한적도 없고 몇분뒤 기사님 도착한다는 기능이 쓸데가 없습니다 오히려 너 화나게 해요

### 1/5 — 情報不一致となりつかえない

*2026-06-16*

わけわからんぼけが

### 5/5 — Good for foreigners

*2026-06-10, version 7.9.0*

This app works really well for taxis. I use the k.ride one for foreigners. It’s extremely easy and I’ve had no problem with payments or overcharges. It works well for e-bikes too.

### 1/5 — 최악의 앱

*2026-05-30, version 7.8.1*

택시 위치 시간 정확한게 하나도 없음. 덕분에 중요한 약속 15분 늦음. 택시 기다리느라.
