Have attempted to use this app on several occasions but there are never any drivers that actually accept the trip so it's just a waste of time. even when I'm stood right next to a car (according to the map) it still gets declined and takes another 5-10mins just to tell you there's no one else available in your area. it's not worth the cheaper quotes, just stick with Uber.

charged me extra because the driver took the long way around which adds charges, initially paying £17 I'm an emergency for a ride that's usually £7, Just to add on extra charges!!!! drivers are scam!!! so you pay for the ride, the length it takes and any excess traffic as well as a surcharge in a busy time. these drivers intentionally take longer routes to add more money!

It's not that great here in Thailand. Lately, we've been getting drivers 9+ minutes away, and when they don't cancel the ride, they keep on going in loops until you get fed up and cancel them or they will call you to cancel the ride. It happened just then again. The app is great. The drivers, not so much. The problem is when you really need a ride, you can't rely on this service. That's the point. At least not where I live.
