The app it's intuitive and not so difficult to use, you can pay by card also. Issues: The cab was almost 20 min late, I ordered it the day before to make sure this wouldn't happen THE BIGGEST ISSUE: My card was charged TWICE (two days before I was charged again with no reason the same amount I have payed before) I wrote an email to the accounts assistant to get my money back because I didn't ordered anything (I uninstalled the app). Still waiting for a response, then I will change my review...
