### 1/5 — DON’T USE THIS APP! WORST APP EVER!

*2024-07-13, version 3.6.16*

This is the worst app ever made. Used it once by creating an account. Ate dinner. Then tried using the app again and it wouldn’t work. It signed me out and would not allow me to sign back in. I tried using my phone number and it won’t let a US number receive the code. Also “forgot password” does not work. DO NOT USE THIS APP!

### 1/5 — Still not accepting US phone numbers

*2024-07-12, version 3.6.16*

Request SMScode and… nothing.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with U.S. Phone Number

*2024-07-01, version 3.6.16*

Tried to register to the app but the SMS required to confirm phone number never arrives to the US phone number I provided. Also the app doesn’t tell the user the number isn’t valid so great.

### 1/5 — App Setup with North American Cellular Number

*2024-06-05*

I have been unsuccessfully trying to set up the app with my Canadian cellphone number for SMS verification. It doesn’t seem to work and I get no response from repeated emails to the company. I’m planning a visit to Iceland and taxi access is important to me as I have a mobility issue.

### 1/5 — Waited 30m

*2024-03-10, version 3.6.13*

No booking for a 10m taxi ride after 30m of waiting, seems pretty broken.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-03-09, version 3.6.13*

Difficult and counter intuitive to use with continual dead ends in processes. Gave up and used someone else.

### 1/5 — Review

*2023-12-30, version 3.6.13*

Does not work

### 1/5 — Only Iceland phone numbers allowed

*2023-09-20, version 3.6.13*

As others have mentioned, the phone number limitation makes this app unusable.

### 1/5 — Sæll, versta appið

*2023-06-25, version 3.6.7*

Eins og krakki hafi skrifað kóðann. Lélegt viðmót, eins slæmt og það gerist. 
Úber -2.0 :(

### 1/5 — Ótrúlegt metnaðarleysi

*2023-04-20, version 3.6.7*

Með því versta sem ég hef kynnst.

### 1/5 — Need Iceland phone number

*2023-02-15, version 3.6.7*

I had a similar experience. I got all set up, got to the phone number and it will not take an American phone number. Makes it hard to use the app if it won’t take your phone number. I’m going to try the old app.

### 1/5 — No Iceland phone!

*2023-01-10, version 3.6.7*

Wouldn’t even let me register because it said that my UK mobile phone couldn’t receive SMS.  Oh dear; pretty basic.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Appið er bilað!

*2026-01-22, version 3.7.1*

Ég er að reyna aftur og aftur til að fá SMS og það er bara ekkert...ég get ekki skráð mig inn eða stofna reikning.

### 1/5 — Technical issues

*2026-01-02, version 3.7.1*

Can’t receive SMS confirmations at my US number. I’m able to login on website, but the app won’t accept the same login.

### 1/5 — App Bad, Taxi Service Great

*2025-09-03, version 3.7.1*

app only works to login once and only once with your phone number, then to use it again, you have to delete it. It is caching or doing something crazy that it can’t get you logged back in again if you have used it before so only option is to delete it entirely and start over if you want to use their service more than once. Fingers crossed the scheduled service for the airport I booked 2 days from now actually shows up to pick us up cause when I log back in now, the booking is gone!  App is very unreliable! However, the service and drivers themselves are top not ch! Definitely should work on this app as it would be a great travel aid for visitors to your city. Lots of young developers out there eager to do this kind of work, go get them.

### 1/5 — Crashes often

*2025-08-29*

Crashes and is unreliable, even after signup. Worked once but then stopped doing so. Driver location wasn’t tracked, nor was the car #.

### 1/5 — Don’t download

*2025-07-21, version 3.7.1*

Useless if you’re not resident in Iceland

### 1/5 — Truly awful

*2025-06-27, version 3.7.1*

Can’t register (and therefore use at all) if you don’t have an Iceland mobile number. This app is anti-tourist and entirely unusable. Breathtakingly rubbish.

### 1/5 — SMS never arrived.

*2025-04-06, version 3.7.1*

Like others have mentioned I entered my US +1 phone number at the SMS sign up page and that’s as far as I got. Off to try a different way to get around Iceland.

### 1/5 — Unreadable

*2025-02-01, version 3.6.16*

Great in principle. Useless in practice. No one tested this. White text on a light grey background? Really? Absolute trash. Only sorry I can’t give it a zero, I have to give one star and because of that, -1

### 1/5 — Why an app can be so user-unfriendly 🥲

*2025-01-07, version 3.6.16*

always log you out🥲no history records🥲 if you have been logged out, no way to find your ‘on the way’ order. This app made me feel Icelandic taxi drivers and passengers are suffering 🥲

### 1/5 — This app is broken

*2024-10-20, version 3.6.16*

On an up to date iPhone, the UI is not clear or useable.

## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Virkar vel

*2026-01-05, version 3.7.1*

Virkar vel og man upplýsingarnar þínar sem er ekki alltaf hentugt og mikilvægt að muna að uppfæra staðfetningu.

### 5/5 — Yeah, fine

*2025-01-25, version 3.6.16*

While the UI is pretty knackered, the service itself works really well. No sign up needed with a mobile phone number, and a “pay in cab” option makes booking a taxi a breeze.

### 5/5 — Life Saver

*2025-01-25, version 3.6.16*

This genuinely made it so much easier to travel from my Airbnb in Keflavík to the Blue Lagoon.

### 5/5 — Great and Easy

*2024-09-13, version 3.6.16*

I never leave app reviews but I want to help increase this rating. I have an American phone number, just change the country code to yours and it’ll create you an account. It’s sooo easy. A taxi showed up faster than an Uber I’ve requested.

### 5/5 — American phone numbers work now

*2024-08-15, version 3.6.16*

I see that all the older reviews say this app doesn’t work w an American number, it appears that way but you just have to delete the Icelandic area code (I think it’s +354) and replace it with +1(your area code). You just have to include the plus sign

### 5/5 — Worked Perfect for Me

*2024-08-11, version 3.6.16*

I’m an American and needed a ride from downtown Reykjavik to a car rental place on the other side of town. I was able to download and use this app just like I would Uber or Lyft back home. Driver arrived almost immediately and got me to my destination quick. He was very friendly and hospitable. Only downside is it’s pricy, but I think that’s the case with all taxis in the area. I wanted to share my positive experience since I saw this app had a poor rating so far. I wrote this in August 2024 for reference. Good luck travelers!

### 4/5 — Bug report

*2023-08-04, version 3.6.13*

No idea why the previous app wasn’t just updated but …ok. 
Bug: when locating a trip where the driver is on the way, a ‘cancel trip’ modal slides up and can’t be dismissed. This causes the map to be covered. Plz fix. Okthxbai!

### 3/5 — Works Great After Signup

*2025-04-06, version 3.7.1*

The most difficult part is the signup process. I have an American phone number and for some reason, the app will not let you complete signup until you are actually IN Iceland already. Tried several times while I was in another country but kept receiving an error. Once I was signed up, I have had no issues using it. 
The app does have a relative outdated interface and is a bit slow, but it does work.
