Bug fixes

User reviews

Doesn’t work at all

Doesn’t even work, you install it and it tells you to install a different app which doesn’t work either

App not fully functional?

Several of the buttons on the Home Screen do not work - slightly frustrating!

Terrible.

I don’t actually know what it does anymore. I’ve sent many request and messages and not have a single response. Deleted.

Needs better Development

I love this idea - great initiative. But the tech needs more development. There are few initiatives I would love to share. Firstly, the app crashes and the messaging does not work as expected. I can’t see what I’m typing when I’m replying to someone.

Thanks

So disappointing

I believe passionately in doing what Liftshare sets out to offer. Cars with only one person in are stupid. I am very much up for the scheme.

But being offered potential liftees who live off my route, or who need to travel beyond my route is a waste of time. I drive daily from South London SE5 to just past Gatwick airport - north side - but through the airport. You would have thought that there might be a “market” for the journey. But what I get is constant asks for Crawley - and sometimes via pick ups that are way off any obvious route.

If you drive 20 minutes out of your way at both ends of the day, and lose 40 minutes pay as a result, the cost hit is just too high. Please give me people in Dulwich or Streatham or Thornton Heath or Croydon who want to go to Gatwick or Horley or Redhill or Reigate.

Great idea - please get it right!

Rant over!
