I like that it gives me options to save money with Wait & Pay. But, I waited and got a ride, but then the driver canceled on me. I'm waiting for another driver, and nothing. So, I go to cancel to try another option, and they want to charge me for waiting at least 10 minutes!...I also had a driver that was 17 mins later than he was supposed to be, bc he was doing a ride on another app! AND the app won't let me give written review, just selection options.

Forces you to take a photo of newly-added cards "for security." If numbers on the card are partially worn off verification fails. Could not reserve a ride, wasted heaps of time at airport finding other ride. Oddly, when adding the card in the first place Lyft lets you just tap it to the back of the phone, just like my bank app does. It only hits you with the photo step right before your reservation completes. Unnecessary security feature I've never seen in other apps. Uninstalled.

Selected "Wait and Save" because it was $3 cheaper. I waited for 15 minutes, THEN they pretended to search for a driver, which I had to wait over 10 minutes for and still no driver. So I opened Uber and immediately got a driver and only had a 5 minute picking wait (Though they kept trying to upgrade my $9 ride to a $24 ride.) Now the app won't even load properly anymore. I switched phones and it still won't load past selecting my destination. Horrible. It's been over 2 years. No change.
