Ratings and reviews

I try to support local, but the app doesn't work as well as Uber. I'll see a taxi on the map 1 block from me but it will take 10-20 minutes for it to arrive. 1 time, after waiting 15 min and being notified that the driver was 1 min away, it switched to another driver that was 10 min away. Also, no way to disable annoying "sale" notifications without totally disabling app notifications.

Doesn't work. It asks for my phone number to send a code. It never does. But even if it managed to send it, I doubt I'd type it in on time since it only gives you 8 seconds to enter it. Even the best apps takes several secs just to send a code, and so you'd have to type in the 6 digit/character (don't know, never actually seen the code).. within what? Maybe, 3 seconds? Useless. Not even mad, just so disappointed. I want to support the cab drivers, unfortunately the app won't let me.

The app works fine for the most part.pickup location gets a lot weird at times. Make sure you are where you want to be picked up, or it can get glitchy. Just Deleting my account now as I've gotten almost no sleep on a business trip as notifications to rate old trips have been going off for 3 hours. It's now 6 a.m. I'll download Uber now, i hear they have better rates regardless.
