Ratings and reviews

I highly recommend this app for the hearing impaired & to those who are deaf. Especially when the dispatch phone lines are busy or being on hold too long. I enjoy the map tracking & the info about the taxi driver & cab number. If you can make an option to be able to update my Gmail & phone number, would it be a 5 star app. Especially when putting the password in manually all the time. I'm tired of using the "forgot my password" option because the password manager isn't allowed by the app.

So for over a year I have rated this a 5 🌟 app. HOWEVER, within the past 4 weeks it isn't correctly reading my location for pickup nor ANY address I seem to put in whether for pickup or drop-off it says it cannot find the address on the map leaving me to waste time dragging and dropping the pin on the map which take FOREVER. AND I really enjoyed using the app because of the fare estimator. Now, I'm not happy with the app at all anymore. Fix it and I'll 5 🌟 you again.

This horrible app didn't update that the driver was here, so the driver had to call to find me and then spent the entire ride crashing out on me. I switched to Uber and the app is infinitely better and it's about half the price for the same trips.
