Ratings and reviews

It is horrible since the changes made 2-3 years ago in the searching algorithm. I can't find any ride anymore. Horrible. When I joined 10 years ago it was working awesome. You typed in the name of the city you wished to departure from and the destination and then you got an overview of a range of around 100km with the possible rides. That way it was possible to contact the driver and make an agreement about the best pick up place. Now I have to try different start cities to find the ride...

Generally good. However, it doesn't work in Brasil. Often, drivers cancel their rides last minute because they found someone willing to pay more for the ride. They keep the passengers WhatsApps and communicate outside the app and who's taking a shorter ride always stays careless in the very last minute. There should be an option for reviewing or penalising drivers AND riders who cancel. I understand change of plans, but it seems that EVERYONE changes their mind in Brasil.

The idea itself is GREAT! But i wish there would be diffetent organisation offering a service that could make the experience better.... The amount of unknown errors is just silly. Every message in the messenger that includes a phone number, a username for other platforms or anything that looks like it get deleted instantly. And the biggest issue that i have is that sometimes rides show up as not existant anymore even though they are still there, which i have no understanding for.

What's new
