Ratings and reviews

The service is a standout based on the price. The drivers are inconsistent but not objectionable. They are not precise about pickup times in reality. They also have arbitrary Hitch pickup and drop-off locations which reduce the price and you can't use a custom pick-up location (like your home or office or actual town) unless the trip is over 50 miles and then with a large up-charge. Best for long trips if you live in a town they service.

I have used this app about 4 times & it gets the job done for a cheap price which I can appreciate. However, it is LAGGY. I have to close the app every time I want the GPS to update. Sometimes my drive comes off as cancelled. I cannot view previous rides. I cannot tip drivers or rate them when prompted. I thought it might be so laggy cause I have a very old phone, but even my partner with an iPhone 13 pro max struggles with the same issues. Even drivers have told me they do not trust the app.

As a driver, this app is unpolished. Notifications tell you to "tap to learn more" but lead you to the homepage, leaving you to fend for yourself. Leaving the app at all resets it, meaning you have to tap a dozen times to re-enter nav during a trip, which is unsafe. You'll get informed of a ride but aren't told any other info, meaning you have to tap through each city to see where it might be. Nav must be screen-on, which makes your phone hot to the touch. Support, however, is always excellent.
