### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2025-01-02, version 3.9.22*

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

### 3/5 — App not fully functional?

*2023-06-08, version 3.9.11*

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

### 1/5 — Terrible.

*2023-03-25, version 3.9.11*

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

### 1/5 — Needs better Development

*2021-10-03, version 3.6.2*

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

### 1/5 — So disappointing

*2021-06-12, version 3.5.3*

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!

### 5/5 — Liftshare

*2020-08-14, version 3.4.1*

Easy to use and super intuitive - even for someone not tech savvy like me ! I’ve shared a fair few lifts over time ( commuting and odd trips ) and it’s great to be able to see how many miles I’ve taken off the roads & c02 I’ve saved by sharing . Have been trying to get friends & family to use for a while now too !

### 5/5 — Fantastic since the latest update

*2020-08-14, version 3.4.1*

Now everything you would want it to do. The design is simple and elegant. Would highly recommend. A++

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-02-26, version 3.3.3*

I signed up with my Facebook profile on the website, but when I try to sign in to the app with my Facebook profile it just gives me an error message making it unusable!

### 1/5 — Facebook connected account login issues

*2020-01-27, version 3.2.9*

I’m sure this app would be very useful, but it also cannot seem to detect my account with the apps ‘log in with Facebook’ button, seems to be the case with other users.

### 1/5 — Awful app

*2019-11-24, version 3.2.9*

This is by far one of the worst apps I’ve ever experienced. It’s there to try to solve my companies cap park issues by allowing you to share lifts but where do I start. Can’t find people in the system. Can’t find journeys. Can’t register my phone number. Can’t accept a journey request I’ve actually been sent by a colleague. Help function is useless. I highly expect the commencement of lift sharing at work tomorrow to be a failure if the app - and website which is equally bad - doesn’t improve quickly.
