Ratings and reviews

Slow, buggy, and steals your money. The system for loading money takes hours, essentially forcing you to use autoload to avoid risking not being able to pay for a trip. But the autoload is like loaning $30 to clipper: it's a minimum $20 reload once you dip below $10. Then heaven forbid you want to cancel autoload - there is no way to do it in app. The "instructions" to do so online are total nonsense. Clipper is a scam.
