Ratings and reviews

Absolutely unreliable app. We almost missed our flight at 9 AM on a Friday because Uber could not find a single driver for 35 minutes. For the record, we live in downtown Chicago. We also were stranded after a concert in Glendale for 4 hours in the middle of the night. We were getting rates of $120+ dollars for a 30 minute drive. Very expensive, but we had no options. Even after requesting a ride at that absurd price, we were still stranded for 4 hours after a major concert. Totally unreliable.

Update 3/20/2023: this app has improved greatly since my last review. Mostly positive experiences, no bugs, accurate timings. Switching from 1 to 4 stars! 9/2022 review: This app manages to get worse each time I use it. Lots of software issues. Currently won't confirm any ride, instead shows a popup. No way to get help when facing a major problem with a driver. No customer service. Apparently, they take a cut of the tips, so I recommend tipping drivers in cash when you can.

The app seems very inconsistent in performance. Not sure if it is because of updates or new releases behind the scenes but constantly asking me to accept terms of use, over and over again. Also reserved rides have more than once not shown up for the appointment, like the driver that was reserved never got a notice about it. Cancellation of a ride that never shows up needs to be more straightforward and better explained and supported in documentation.
