### 1/5 — Stay away if you can. Wait times not accurate

*2025-07-12, version 4.40.0*

My experience was not fun especially since it was my first time using the app. 
Even when you plan ahead revel will make you tardy and when you cancel they will not refund the cancellation fee as per their “terms” . My wait time was a certain time but when I booked it the wait went down but the driver didn’t move. Because as per revel terms “  cancellation with anything more than 2 minutes will be subject to a cancellation fee” lol wow and the kicker here is, that the driver started to move on the app, but then the wait time increased 10 MINUTES! Lol of you read this and made of this far. Don’t waste your time and don’t connect your banking. I requested to delete my app and information.

### 5/5 — Good Service. But you need more drivers sometimes we have to wait 20 minutes for your service

*2025-07-12, version 4.40.0*

More drivers for better service

### 1/5 — Never available

*2025-06-30, version 4.40.0*

I attempted to use revel. Every time it just puts a pending charge on my card, then  cancels my ride and says drivers aren’t available. 
This is not a helpful app.

### 1/5 — Encourage Bad Drivers

*2025-06-29, version 4.40.0*

First off every driver is going to be a minimum of 15 minutes away, but even after they reach you they can come just to start the ride then immediately cancel and still collect the full fare. This means I’m saying they will charge you without you ever taking. ride. Revels customer support will do nothing and your only option is to dispute it with your bank. If you want to take that risk, try it out!

### 5/5 — Driver Christopher

*2025-06-22, version 4.40.0*

Awesome

### 1/5 — Horrible buggy app

*2025-06-20, version 4.40.0*

GREAT service. Much cheaper than the other two most of the time. All electric fleet, superior comfort and ride compared to old timey gas vehicles. The problem is the buggy app. In NYC I have to let drivers know the business where I am because the location on the map is almost always wrong. Sometimes it’s just across the street but other times, it’s blocks away. That’s a huge strike. The other issue is messages not refreshing/app locking up, or it works differently from time to time. iPhone 16 Pro Max 1TB, latest OS, so it’s for sure not the device. If they can get someone who can squash the many bugs, then it will be a 100% solid service. Until then, keep a VERY close eye on what the app does.

### 1/5 — The waiting time is ridiculous

*2025-06-17, version 4.40.0*

Im always using their app because of the reliable prices but its very frustrating how the waiting time jumps from 7 mins to 15 minutes and that’s not even guaranteed because the drives love to take wrong turns and stuff it’s really becoming annoying and they really need to start hiring more drivers this is insane

### 1/5 — Great concept - terrible driver

*2025-06-14, version 4.40.0*

The app worked great and pricing was competitive. That said, after a crazy drive to the airport, all three passengers were ready to hurl. 

Two of the passengers own Teslas and it’s pretty common knowledge that if you accelerate like crazy and have a high rate of deceleration (since you took your foot off the gas and the car decelerated through regenerative braking), everyone is going to feel like they are on a roller coaster. Do that like twenty times on the highway and forget about repeat customers.

### 1/5 — Scheduled ride

*2025-06-14, version 4.40.0*

Great app but on scheduled pickup set hours ahead of time, pick up is outside the pick up window. Also the app will cancel the ride at the last minute and I will be stuck paying higher prices.

### 1/5 — Complete Scam

*2025-06-06, version 4.40.0*

Revel pre-authorised amount which was almost more than 3 times of the actual ride fair and never refunded. They have a horrible slow customer service as well. And on top of that waiting times are very slow compared to competitors.
