Wrongful termination

They terminate your account wrongfully and won’t provide any feedback or details about it. THE WORST app ever built in the history of mankind!

Easy Sign Up, Active Community

Signed up and had a passenger in less than 24hrs!

Pathetic app, pathetic support and pathetic service

I am extremely disappointed with my experience using Poparide. My account was permanently blocked after receiving a warning, even though I had already reported that I was having issues receiving app notifications on my phone.

For an app that depends heavily on timely communication between drivers and passengers, reliable notifications are essential. If users are not properly receiving booking requests, messages, or important updates, they should not be permanently penalized without a fair manual review.

After reviewing Poparide’s Terms of Service, I understand that accounts may be restricted in certain situations. However, there should be a clear review process before applying a permanent block, especially when the issue may be related to a technical problem with the app’s notification system.

I have requested that Poparide confirm the specific booking, cancellation, no-show, or complaint that led to the block, whether the issue was verified, whether I was found at fault, and whether my reported notification issue was considered. I believe users deserve transparency and a fair opportunity to explain their side before losing access permanently.

Poparide needs to improve its account monitoring, notification reliability, and appeal process. A permanent block should not be applied without properly considering technical issues and user evidence.
