### 2/5 — Awful app, good taxi company

*2023-11-12, version 30.4.2*

Completely out-dated, clonky app, where nothing makes sense and everything takes ages. Actual Parker Cars is great though!

### 3/5 — Does the job but desperately needs an update

*2023-08-16, version 30.4.2*

Clunky old app. Works but only just. Shame as the actual taxi service is good.

### 1/5 — Avoid at all cost

*2022-10-23*

Rip off!

I used once & got blacklisted because the driver was over 45 mins late & he complained that I was ‘rude’.  I had my 9yr old son with me and went no further than acting like any other frustrated customer. He couldn’t steer left or right without his Waze app and the dispatcher had to conference me & the driver to navigate him to pick us up in the first instance. 

For that experience, you get charged full rate & blacklisted. Life is too short to be a punter for that sort of service.  Pass!

### 1/5 — Registration broken

*2022-05-22, version 30.4.1*

SMS verification code doesn’t work, fail.

### 1/5 — Bad experience

*2022-04-10, version 30.1.2*

Deleting the app after dreadful experience over bookings at my daughter’s wedding.
Never again.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2019-04-26, version 30.1.2*

A detailed and intuitive app with a handy tracking feature, works perfectly.

### 4/5 — Dated app but fundamentally works

*2019-01-25, version 30.1.2*

Not the greatest user experience but has never let me down.  Often book pickup from Heathrow when at departure airport and it DOES ask for your flight number too.  Kept up to date with txt msg’s once booking is made.  Functional, but not pretty - a bit like a Mercedes B-Class.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2018-06-13, version 30.1.2*

Does not recognise login details, says you will get a text to verify account but does not send a text - All round terrible app.

Ignore the app and book online as the car service is actually ok

### 1/5 — Worst App Going

*2018-03-30, version 30.1.1*

Reported fault repeatedly and proven a total waste of time, keeps putting incorrect address and using other accounts when logging on. Phoning them you just get charged more. Absolutely useless and even one star is to high

### 1/5 — Scam

*2018-03-04, version 30.1.1*

If you order VIP car you will get 7 years old also very expensive compared to other apps
