Ratings and reviews

The application is unable to verify the driver license. It failed my verification without giving any explanation. There is no retry for verification. If you go to help section and then message, there are prepopulated prompts and no human help at all. Chatbot gives you same answer everytime. Recent changes to the application are not useful at all.

Been using the app for about a month or two now, and overall it's been a positive experience but I have some pretty big issues with the service. As a driver, the app forces you to charge an extremely low fare and doesn't let you charge extra for pickup/dropoff at specific locations that may be slightly out of the way. I realize they are bounded by regulations on this, but it just doesn't reflect the reality of a service like this. I should be able to set the fare per passenger, not just per trip

I had a terrible experience with this service. I booked a ride in advance, payment went through, and the trip was showing in the app. I arrived at the pickup location on time, but the driver was 17 minutes late. Being new to the city, I was stressed and unsure if I was even in the right place. I messaged the driver multiple times and got no reply. When the driver finally arrived, they casually told me they had canceled my trip because they were full—without sending any notification beforehand.

What’s new

Another round of fixing the things that get in the way.

Editing one of your vehicles works again: the Update button used to stay greyed out however much you changed, and a refused save said nothing at all. On Android the keyboard no longer covers the button you are reaching for, and selected text stays readable. Previous and popular stops are back when you add a via, and your booking total names the currency.

Sorry about the vehicle form.
