The app needs a little bit of work to be perfect, but at the moment, it offers the best way to find a rideshare. Would be great to see following improved: - ability to provide feedback through the app - ability to see past trips - improve messaging - there are some annoyances like when receiving a new message, the window with the new message is opened instantly, even if you are typing a response in a different thread. - in general, add more functionality to match the website. The app is quite barebones at the moment

Love it! Used it when traveling with rental car in Canada and really liked it! Great way to meet interesting people and to not be bored while driving. Perfect shared economy app - 5 stars for that ;)

Scammes by multiple drivers Drivers say they will cancel but then do the process where they call in end up stealing money !!!

Phone verification concerns Had some difficulty signing up. It asks for country code, but would be helpful if you indicated the need for '+' before the code.

It will not accept my number being valid I have a 778 prefix for my cell. Tried 1 before hand and no joy. Am I missing something? It does not like it.

I'm having the same problem, it tells me my 778 number isn't valid, what can I do to fix it?

HitchPlanet April 11, 2017

Hey Jayme, this issue has been fixed now, so you should be able to verify your phone number no problemo!

Great with new updates

chris petersen March 26, 2016

Great idea! It could benefit from drivers seeing requested rides or what people are searching. IE how many people are wanting to leave an airport.

HitchPlanet August 4, 2016

Hey Chris, we've just added this feature recently, so you'll now be able to see "requests" in the results, and even invite people to your trip! Check out the latest version :)

Evan Travers January 29, 2016

Needs work Sweet idea for an app. Although the search is way too specific, it doesnt take in for account towns/ cities along the way to the destination. Throw in a map, then this app would be useful to see members to pickup in the town you're driving through.

HitchPlanet August 4, 2016

Hey Evan, we agree that type of dynamic matching would be useful. Please note we have a feature called Vias that allows drivers to specify pickup and dropoff points on their trip, allowing for flexible search. We're looking to add more dynamic matching down the line, so stay tuned!

Mike Dehm January 30, 2016

Awesome! Great program! Would be cool if hitchers could post for rides they are looking for rather then just signing up for one's available.

User friendly and great concept of Well done, I appreciate having this app instead of the mobile site. Works well and constantly being updated!

Ride sharing at its best Been using the service since 2011, met tons of awesome people and shared lots of rides ! The app makes it super easy and simple, I just love it !

Katharine Mills November 7, 2015

A drivers best friend To be able to share spare spots in your car so easily is awesome. I love how you can sms or call ride sharers straight from the app. As a regular driver it helps me keep track of who I'm driving snd when.

So simple, so efficient Works as described. Simple UI, easy to navigate and stay organised in this app. Looking forward to putting this service to some good use.
