Ratings and reviews

very easy app to use in Korea and affordable price. While in transit to location I received via a confirmation of payment and simultaneously a cancelation of payment from EXIM BAY. The driver didn't ask for further payment at the destination so I assume it was all good. Would recommend this app to all foreign travelers with no korean phone number. I have Kakaotalk account but Kakao T taxi app insisted on korean phone number. Hence why I turned to the K Ride app. Enjoy. Ian L Sep 2024

Unfortunately, it would not use or display English addresses, but my hotel came up in aribic language. I asked assistance from the tourist office, who also couldn't assist as it was set to english, and then recommended another app. It also crashed while setting up. I am using a samsung s23 ultra, and the new app worked much better and quicker.

good app for foreigners in korea to get a minivan, it actually worked and the ride was a good experience. But the app is sluggish so be patient. App could use a reserve feature to schedule rides a head of time for convient travel to the airport.
