Otherwise the workflow and booking taxis is quite good. ### 1/5 — App works fine, shame about taxi *2014-06-09, version 10.0.0* No show or later than the 20 mins I waited before I got in my car. Disappointed. ### 1/5 — Awful *2014-02-17, version 10.0.0* Worst app ever, no pickup destinations are recognised with everywhere just saying 'results not found' and when you finally do you get a quote for a price and then the driver ends up paying you double, ridiculously bad ### 1/5 — DO NOT USE. They do not turn up. *2013-12-09, version 10.0.0* After booking a taxi the night before. 10 minutes after the pickup time they call to say they will be another 20 minutes and that they are going to cancel the order. Cannot be trusted. ### 1/5 — Poor *2013-06-05, version 1.1.51* Worst app, couldn't find any address near me and I wanted to go to a train station! ### 1/5 — Sort out the prices *2013-03-08, version 1.1.51* Price quoted was different from what was asked driver. He was rude and said the app is wrong. Only gets one star till thats sorted. I rather call another firm and get a correct quote then be ripped off. ### 1/5 — Don't ever use this app *2013-02-09, version 1.1.51* Price quoted was doubled. Driver was rude and threatening and had to call "head office" to drop price to a less laughable rate. It only gets one star as I can't give it 0. ### 5/5 — Very impressed ! *2012-07-16, version 1.1.1* ... the intuitiveness of this App is brilliant. Very well designed, user friendly ... just a really well thought out & delivered App to facilitate an already top quality car service. Would highly recommend this App, and Station Cars to anyone in the area. Keep up the good work ! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2012-06-25, version 1.1.1* Excellent app, can't think of a better way to order a cab! Gone are the days of having to find a quite spot, you can order a taxi from the heart of the party. Highly recommend ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — You order a cab it says 3 mins *2023-09-16, version 40.2306.1* Then it changes to 6 mins after already waiting 5 mins. Then 10mins. What does the office say, speak to the manager Monday! Doesn’t get a lone female home though does it ### 1/5 — Not good *2022-11-27, version 40.2209.38* Please change your App. It doesn’t resolve the basics - like date , time and destination for booking a cab. I use this firm very frequently , but the app is waste of time. ### 1/5 — App won't connect *2019-07-10, version 30.1.3* The app hasn't worked for almost 2 weeks. Station Cars don't seem to be in a hurry to fix it. Will be using Uber until the app is sorted as phoning up for a taxi take too long ### 1/5 — There was a problem connecting to the site *2019-07-08, version 30.1.3* Whilst not a fan of the recent redesign at least the app worked. For the past few days been getting errors: there was a problem connecting to the site - then the app crashes. Please fix it. Having to ring up is a pain ### 1/5 — Not working *2019-07-07, version 30.1.3* Over the last few days the app isn’t working. Please fix it. I use it regularly for airport and around town work. ### 1/5 — Broken? *2019-07-06, version 30.1.3* Is the app down for the moment? I can’t seem to open it. I’ve uninstalled it and reinstalled it but still no luck ### 1/5 — Booking didn't work for me *2018-08-07, version 23.0.0* Booked a taxi to Gatwick airport in-app and all seemed fine until the morning when the car didn't turn up. Called several times and kept getting put on hold or hung up on before they finally found my booking. Taxi turned up 25 minutes late and driver was half dressed with shirt open and belt undone. Completely unprofessional. He then preceded to speed and drive recklessly all the way to the airport even though I told him to slow down. Complained afterwards and the office didn't care. Will not use again. Shame. ### 1/5 — Awful service, especially for airport trips *2017-10-02, version 23.0.0* Avoid ### 1/5 — Rubbish App. *2016-02-12, version 21.5.0* Please update the software. Use to be a really good app but now it just no longer books. There is an error message saying unable to book this time. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Will not let you book cabs for the future, only immediate bookings! *2014-08-09, version 20.0.0* This app is totally useless at the moment as it seems not to let you book cabs in the future because the calendar system in the app does not work properly. Despite trying to put a future date and time when booking it keeps reverting back to the time that it is at present rendering the app totally useless if you want to book cars in advance for a future date and time! If the app developer could note this and put this right as soon as possible so that it does not render it completely obsolete for booking in advance - that would be appreciated! At the moment however it is unusable for advance bookings!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 10/10 Uber Alternative *2021-07-18, version 30.1.3* Cheap. Efficient. Taxis. ### 5/5 — AMAZINGLY AWESOME *2018-05-18, version 23.0.0* I am not one to write reviews but station cars are simply amazing and like the other person said much cheaper than Uber that introduces surges in fares at short notice . I have been a customer of station cars for over 8 years and I have to say they are the best I have seen so far. What's not to like about them? Their security awareness is second to none, their willingness to please their customers is not in contest, all their drivers look neat, well dressed and professional at all times with name badges. Their cars are always clean ; I should know .. I use them a lot. Their controllers are very professional and friendly. Most of all their fares are very reasonable .. I could go on and on I highly recommend this cab company ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-10-23, version 23.0.0* Cheaper than Uber and so far more reliable - you should advertise more because I only found out about this app when I told a driver people prefer Uber because it has an app and he said “oh we have one” ### 5/5 — Great app works well *2016-10-01, version 23.0.0* Works similar to uber in that you can book taxis on the app and track it. Great service and easy to use so would recommend ### 5/5 — Easy to use, reasonably priced... *2014-08-09, version 20.0.0* Excellent! ### 5/5 — Use app all the time ... *2014-04-18, version 10.0.0* And have not been let down yet. I mostly use app on train home from London to be picked up at station and a car has always been there - day or night. ### 5/5 — Great app - reliable company! *2013-09-15, version 1.1.51* This app is slick and it worked! I even booked a cab for my pick up from gatwick airport.... Whilst I was on holiday in the Caribbean and in Europe ! I use them all the time and they often arrive within a couple of minutes from requesting an ASAP pick up within the croydon area. I've always had great service (apologies to other reviewers who have Not had such great service). ### 5/5 — Fantastic app and cab firm! :) *2013-04-14, version 1.1.51* This app is brilliant,so easy to use and the car always turns up on time. This cab firm is brilliant! My friend and I lost our phones and they were both handed in by their drivers. 10/10 ### 5/5 — App as reliable as their service *2013-04-01, version 1.1.51* Already most reliable and quickest cab co around Croydon but now I've downloaded app the service is still as good but booking is now easier than ever. Thanks guys! Rob ### 5/5 — Amazing *2012-07-17, version 1.1.1* Used this app first time on my ipad, absolutely fantastic. Not only can i track where the car is, it sends me a text when the cabs outside --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
