Does Not Work

Downloaded the app and put in all my info just to find out that it's been out of service for the past six days with no estimate of when it'll return. Not sure why Apple even allows this on the app store...

Service down

I had to download it since no Uber or Lyft service in Whistler. To my big surprise once downloaded there’s a message saying the “system is down” it was posted 2 days ago! I guess you can’t rely in the service I had to wait and get a taxi😒

A solution to a problem

Whistler doesn’t have access to Uber/Lyft so this app is perfect for the community, I was able to use the app with ease. I also really enjoyed the fact that you can schedule a time for rides. That feature is beneficial and will help you plan better. The drivers are also very friendly and helpful it feels more like a tour guide than just a driver. Really liked this app.
