Notification Abuse

This app recently started abusing notifications to send spam. Not cool. Will be uninstalling and avoiding yellow cab from now on.

Not helpful

Doesn’t let you adjust tips after the fact, and doesn’t let you opt out of promotional notifications, which mean you have to turn off notifications entirely which is super annoying for a taxi / ride share app.

Consistently great service

Yellow cab drivers have been consistently punctual when I prebook and swift to arrive when I book for immediate pick-up. The drivers are always polite and the app makes prebooking and payment incredibly easy.
