Ratings and reviews

I've been using this app for three years now and haven't had any issues with it or the service provided. I've been able to book in advance taxis for 3am airport trips with no issues. The taxis usually arrive within the ETA display and payment has been smooth either through the app or with card or cash at end of trip.

New version deleted old address book. Seems you can only add 2 addresses to the new version You cannot skip the ratings of the previous hire to book a new hire Last version was pretty bad but this one really wants to push customers to a different service. I doubt they did any user testing. This is an alpha release at best

App charged me twice for journey, driver didn't know way to my house and three days later waiting for customer care to speak to me. Company is usually brilliant so probably an isolated case but my experience.
