### 4/5 — Map

*2026-03-05, version 36.9.0*

You need to improve the map. Either allow us to drop a pin on where we desire to be picked up, because when drivers don’t read the street signs and only follow the given GPS, a lot of them get really rude about it.

### 2/5 — Garbage

*2024-12-29, version 36.3.0*

Barely works compared to the old one. All my notification texts came through 10 and a half hours late. The app is not good at telling you that your cab is on the way

### 1/5 — Why pre book???????

*2024-11-21, version 36.1.0*

AVOID THIS APP… They have to fix this app … the old app you pre book and your book is on time on this one you pre book and your taxi is late over 30 minutes … THATS A JOKE !!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Removed all my info

*2024-11-16, version 36.1.0*

I’ve reviewed each taxi driver for years, I had credit on the app too. Suddenly all my info is gone and account removed. New app layout too? Doesn’t run as well and incredibly frustrating I have to start from zero.

### 1/5 — Very ineffective redesign

*2024-11-10, version 36.1.0*

This new design is horrible. Duplicates of addresses are coming up. The loss of the ability to track the driver is also a ridiculous edit, this was key for us as the driver would usually go to the wrong location. The app it’s self is now also hard to navigate.

### 1/5 — Terrible redesign.

*2024-11-07*

This new redesign of the app is appalling. Where before you could see all information easily now you need to go into multiple menus. Also, you can no longer track the drivers so you do not know how close they are, or if they have gone to wrong place for pick-up. 
This will most probably lead me to using the service far less now.

### 1/5 — Rude driver

*2024-10-24, version 34.6.17*

Called my son a taxi to go to the city centre he is 12 years old. I did not realise there was any policy in place that prevented this. A female driver asked how old he was he stated his age she said get in an abrupt voice didn’t speak to My Boy or say thank you when he got out of the taxi. Very poor customer service

### 2/5 — New bug?

*2024-10-09, version 34.6.17*

Just opened the App today and it said updated terms etc. needed to be agreed. Clicked then forever waiting and couldn’t use it. Must be a bug to be fixed as soon as possible

### 1/5 — Bad App

*2024-09-10, version 34.6.17*

Refuses to accept Apple Pay and then blocks you. Also can’t change ‘4 passenger, 2 luggage’ so price was £4 more than simply phoning for cab. When you phone you get recorded message asking you to download the app. Why? Don’t do it!

### 5/5 — Very good man and good at hes job

*2024-07-20, version 34.6.17*

Very good service

### 1/5 — Terrible service.

*2026-06-02, version 36.9.0*

Their taxis can take ages even though the app says a wait time of approx 15mins you can wait over 40mins for a taxi.

### 1/5 — AVOID: Added extra charges after quoting different price

*2025-08-31, version 36.9.0*

I would avoid this app. I used it to book a trip and was quoted a certain price only to find that additional charges had been added on afterwards. It did not show what these were for but apparently could be due to waiting, tolls etc. I was out for my taxi at the booked time and we had a clear run to my destination with no traffic nor tolls/fees so I don’t know why they should automatically be able to charge me extra on top of the quoted fair without justifying what the additional charge is beforehand. Might as well just give them free access to my bank account to take as much as they like. Dishonest fiddle in my opinion.

### 1/5 — Arrival time

*2025-07-25, version 36.8.0*

It takes way too long to find drivers it’s frustrating

### 1/5 — Stealing your metrics and gaining favour

*2025-04-06, version 36.6.0*

Classic either fail or tactics.. 100,000 notifications?! …You are clearly cheating the system and poorly managing your app. Not to mention another company’s driver took a booking then refused to take someone, allegedly an “app” issue. Idiots.

### 1/5 — Spam??

*2025-03-31, version 36.6.0*

I kid you not I had 10,000 notifications over the course of a week. Cleared them then 100,000 in 3 days. I have screenshots but I’m unsure how to attach them. This is ridiculous 😭

### 1/5 — Oops message

*2025-01-26, version 36.3.0*

Every time I try to book a trip, I get the ‘oops’ message and to try again later! However, I only get the ‘oops’ message.  Then I phone, only to get the irritating message to get the app!

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2025-01-06, version 36.3.0*

Still haven't fixed the multitude of bugs since the upgrade last year. Says a lot that all the recent reviews are saying the same thing and all negative. Maybe stop using the intern to to do the UX testing? Pre booking NEVER works. Unbelievable it's still not sorted after 6 months. Does any developer ever read these?

### 1/5 — Poor can’t log in

*2024-12-21, version 36.3.0*

How much are they loosing because the picture verification doesn’t work anymore. Use need a cab as this app is hopeless

### 1/5 — Terrible App & Service.

*2024-12-20, version 36.3.0*

New app is terrible, much harder to navigate around it. Also, the service has dropped recently as well. Having to wait 20+ mins pass my requested pick-up time on a regular basis. Avoid. Use Uber instead.

### 1/5 — Awful useless company

*2024-12-13, version 36.3.0*

If you need a taxi fast, this is not your company. Hopefully uber hurry up and makes it to Plymouth because the terrible taxi services in Plymouth need a massive kick up the behind

### 5/5 — Muhammad is a legend

*2026-03-14, version 36.9.0*

Our driver was the best driver, so polite, punctual. We had a lovely chat

### 5/5 — Reliable

*2025-12-19, version 36.9.0*

Never have any problems with my bookings.

### 5/5 — Awful when updating

*2025-06-17, version 36.6.0*

When updating it signed me out ‘for security’ then wouldn’t open again for me to sign back in. Deleted it instead as can’t be done with all this stuff causing issues when just trying to book a taxi

### 5/5 — Great service

*2025-06-04, version 36.6.0*

Really easy app to use and service is great many thanks

### 5/5 — Good app

*2025-02-26, version 36.4.0*

Good app, very expensive fares since the fixed rate has come in so now the most expensive in Plymouth

### 5/5 — Taxi

*2024-11-25, version 36.1.0*

The second driver of the day who picked me up from Derriford Hospital in a White Toyota Prius at approx 11:30 today 25/11:24 was great. He drove very well and we had a good chat and a few laughs. He was polite and had a great smile. It was a pleasure to be driven by him

### 5/5 — Great driver

### 5/5 — Thanks for helping.

*2024-08-18, version 34.6.17*

My girlfriend was struggling to get a cab. So I used the app and taxi came asap. 
Very helpful and friendly. 

Can you please thank the black Toyota BV10 number plate driver for me. 

Regards
Sam
