### 1/5 — Worst App

*2017-10-30*

This app is useless it doesn’t have enough cities I live in Minneapolis MN and I couldn’t find it they need to do a lot of work there are no settings options it’s basically useless I bought this app for 3.99 now I’m going to ask refund cuz I can’t use in my city

### 1/5 — It crashes! Hope the taxis don't!

*2015-07-31*

The app will not run on my iPad.  I have the latest 8.xxx version, but it will not even open.  I hope they read this and give back my money :)

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money.

*2015-04-12*

This app doesn't even open on my IPad, don't waste your time. Other apps are much better.

### 1/5 — A waste of Money

*2014-04-01*

Worked once for London. Tried to do a cross check to Perth, Western Australia prices now cannot change away from London. Tried to put in new destination app closes down. Looks good but doesn't work. Don't waste your money. It is TRASH. First time I have been ripped off buying an app. Only gave it one star because that is as low as it goes. I would like my money back too but I guess that won't happen either.

### 2/5 — MR

*2012-12-10*

It's is Ok but very limited cities available

### 2/5 — Not that good

*2012-02-06*

It's fine if you're in a capital city but forget it if you even want use it for smaller cities like San Diego. How do i get my money back?

### 4/5 — Excellent app

*2010-11-14*

This is a great app especially if you have a nav function on your phone to calculate distance.  I would have given it 5 stars except I would have expected more cities in version updates.  Most cities regulate fare prices and that info should be available online.  I would also make sure cities with high can meter fraud like Kuala Lampur are in there so you know when you are getting taken.  The times I have used it, it was accurate within $1 USD.

### 5/5 — Handy app

*2010-09-27*

Good for getting an idea of what a trip may cost before you head off, or for keeping taxi drivers honest

### 1/5 — Not as good as i thought..

*2010-04-26*

I'm using a few websites for NY cab travel from one place to another which is a lot better - you can put in a POI and it will give 3 figures, average, with traffic of x amount and lowest price. This app has NONE of these features! When in a foreign country, how do i know how far POI A is to POI Z? I'd have to look it up, use data and it defeats the purpose of buying an app.

I'm sticking to my web apps and bookmarks. The app does what it says on the in but I just didn't find a use for it. 

This app would be good if you know the approx distance. Afraid most wouldn't when they land in a city and want an estimate of the cab fare... Dev - could you include POI's and make this app like sites such as nyx.taxiwiz and taxifarefinder? IF this app is aimed at tourists, this info is needed.

EDIT: I can make a ratio and use my calculator and get more accurate fares as the app only displays KM. How about miles?! Include some POI's to calculate prices WITHOUT using data as that defats the point of using in another country. I'd re-review if this feature came to the app. Also, how about saving the trips so you don't have to re-calcuate them? That would be a killer feature.
EDIT2: The dev is updating this app a lot - kudos! Plus 1 star. But still none of the features mentioned above..

### 5/5 — It's great App

*2010-03-02*

It's easy to use and just as described.
