Ratings and reviews

So for over a year I have rated this a 5 🌟 app. HOWEVER, within the past 4 weeks it isn't correctly reading my location for pickup nor ANY address I seem to put in whether for pickup or drop-off it says it cannot find the address on the map leaving me to waste time dragging and dropping the pin on the map which take FOREVER. AND I really enjoyed using the app because of the fare estimator. Now, I'm not happy with the app at all anymore. Fix it and I'll 5 🌟 you again.

The app does not allow for booking scheduled trips, nor does it confirm to the Americans with Disabilities Act allowing the user to specify if they need a wheelchair or service animal accessable vehicle.

The app is always crashing or freezing, doesn't let you know you ordered a cab twice, but the app is pretty good with providing a spinning circle that doesn't go away. The gps is also a delight... The app creates more work and hassle than it takes to call dispatch.
