AWESOME APP!!!!

Velo is far the best ride share I have ever used

Ride Velo

The app currently works great. The wait time was a little longer because they have fewer drivers than Uber but the experience was good, and the price was cheaper. I’m a fan

App doesn’t work it’s a data scam

This app is a data scam to steal users information
The app always crashes and there is only one driver in all of NYC
This app is going to compete with Uber? It can’t even compete with a my local old
Fashioned car service with 3 drivers. Fire your developers and pick a new industry to “disrupt”

Useless

I was first very excited about this new app and when I got a promo code for 50% off rides I decided to give it a try.
The first couple of times I had to give up because it would not find a car near me in Brooklyn!!
Finally when I decided to use it in Manhattan, I ended up getting overcharged as the promo code was never applied.
I emailed customer service twice, never got an answer.
Don’t bother and stick with what you know as they seem very unprofessional and don’t care about their customers.

App crashes all the time

I am an early adopter of this app, and have had high hopes since their founding. I’ve also received really awesome promotional offers as just a regular customer and as an early adopting customer. Could never take advantage because literally every time I proceed to the step where I need to confirm my pickup, the app crashes. Ongoing issue since I first downloaded the app many many months ago. Potential, but can’t use an app that always crashes guys ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
