### 1/5 — Awful, do not use

*2025-02-02, version 334.12.0*

Pre booked Taxi turned up 20 minutes late. Operator didn’t know or care what was going on or where the car was, no apology or anything, when they turned up the driver was very rude and didn’t even bother to say hello or goodbye let alone anything else, the journey was 2.14miles and we were quoted £14 and then actually charged £25.50 after the trip ended!! I then emailed the company to complain and they couldn’t even be bothered to reply! Absolutely disgusting service, one star is too much for the service this company provided

### 1/5 — Pre booking doesn’t work

Every time I use this app to pre book, taxis turn up at least 10-15 minutes later than I’ve booked for

App doesn’t work, I have an account and it prompts me to verify my phone number, it says to enter a code and I never receive one and then it brings up a notification that says “ enteral app error” I also tried making a new account to see if this fixed the issue but it did the exact same thing. Impossible to use the app.
