Ratings and reviews

It is a sleek clean minimal interface that is very familiar to Uber. Shows you drivers moving in your area, and allows you to add Favourite locations for destinations. Once you choose a destination you can pick from car types (any, wheelchair, 6 seater, etc) and gives you a price and time estimate. Before completing you can book for later, add notes or choose a payment method. At the moment the app cannot add a credit card, and it defaults to pay in cab (cash) which is very inconvenient.

Solid little app! Overall I'm very impressed. I'd also recommend setting your wallet in the app to pay in the taxi over using a credit card because the app doesn't allow you to use tip and sometimes there's confusion over payment with drivers. Support Canadian business and use this over Uber.

Drivers' side of the app doesn't seem to provide destination info, or drivers are not trained in how to use it properly. I am visiting from abroad, so I do not have extra information on destination beyond the address I've been given and I do not have mobile data so I can't look things up in the car. When I've chosen a location in the map on the app I don't expect to also need further information for the driver - I expect the driver to navigate to the point I selected when booking the taxi.
