Ratings and reviews

There is no way to add bus rides that were bought on other platforms (Omio) so that we can track the bus and see when it will arrive if it's running late, and it is hard to change the language of the app. I downloaded it in Portugal and it's hard to use it in Portuguese. There should be options within the app to change it.

I've used this app several times while travelling, principally in Spain and Portugal. It's a great way to get around when traveling without a car rental. I wish the messaging part did translations (I don't think it does), but it's trivial to do that outside the app, e.g. with Google Translate, so no big deal.

Update: The app features have reduced significantly. Now, in the ride option, the message is not displayed. So if I mention pickup and drop on ride, it doesn't get displayed for passengers. Also, it has ridiculously reduced the price for the rides. The maximum now, is less than what it was 2 years back. I have to publish the ride and then edit it to bring it back to what I want.

What's new

In this version of BlaBlaCar, we've made a few tweaks and done a bit of fine-tuning to make the app even easier to use!
