Ratings and reviews

The service is very useful tho some seem to think this is just a cheap taxi service. It's not - it's to cover areas other transit options don't. However, the app needs a lot of work before this becomes a reliable service. Time of arrival and location of the incoming vehicle are seldom correct. More than once I've had the car pull up but the app shows it is still miles away. Fix the app and people will like the service a lot better.

The service is great, but the app itself has some bugs. About 30% of the time the driver doesn't get a notification that I've booked a ride, so they just stay parked until I call them. Some drivers can't be called, so I have to cancel the ride and try again, or take a bus. When I open the hamburger menu, I can only access my profile. All of the other items just show the loading animation. Once you book a ride, you can no longer see your ETA

I think this app is awesome & extremely useful. I almost didn't believe the price until I tried it for myself. Its purpose is extremely beneficial especially the hours it runs through. The drivers for the most part seem to be cool, professional, & polite. The only complaints I have are i wish it would be open in a wider areas on the map & that you didn't have to ride to the end of one area & then get off & book another trip to next destination. I also wish it expanded & ran in more cites!
