  1. [R3] G7 TAXI 3/5 · US Credit Card Issues: Tried adding different cards all with the same result, an error that would not allow me to add my card. Guess I’ll use Uber. UPDATE: After some time the app finally allowed me to add payment method.
  2. [R4] G7 TAXI 1/5 · US Registered and validated payment but could not use: As so many others have reported, the payment system would not work when I went to actually make a booking. This despite even having international travel cards (Revolut and Wise), not just my regular US CC. Registering went fine, it validated my Revolut card (even had to go to Revolut to approve this), but then when I went to make a booking, I cou
  3. [R7] G7 TAXI 1/5 · US 3D security fails: As other reviewers have recently mentioned, I also had two different credit cards fail with a message to call my bank. When I checked with my bank, I was told that the 3 digit security code was incorrect but I had entered it correctly for each card. Ended up having to use Uber. Would have much preferred to have used a cab. Hope this glitch is fixed soon
  4. [R9] G7 TAXI 3/5 · US Credit card payment doesn’t work: This app is very useful. We used it on a number of occasions. One big issue is that whenever trying to pay by credit card, I always get an error, even though my CC is registered and verified with the app. Same problem for my friend. The app is usable only when paying with cash (which you can select via the confusingly named “On board” option). Another bug is that
  5. [R1] G7 TAXI 1/5 · US Scam: Driver asked me to take another cab, and app apparently cancelled and charged me full fair.
  6. [R12] G7 TAXI 3/5 · US Cost unclear: The estimate for my ride said 69 euro but I was charged 77 euro for the ride, why did the app not make the actual price clear?
  7. [R13] G7 TAXI 2/5 · US On time but overcharged: I created an account with G7 to arrange travel from Paris on Monge street. The driver was on time which I was very happy about and he drove safely. The problem was that the meter in the cab read 72 euros, but my account was charged 89. Euros. This does not seem fair.
  8. [R16] G7 TAXI 1/5 · US Over charged by driver: Driver didn’t start the trip properly and I am over charged to my card
  9. [R24] G7 TAXI 3/5 · GB Password requirements do not work: Can not register an account. It fails on password stage. The password criteria requesting a special character, however it complains after saying that special characters are not allowed in the password
  10. [R25] G7 TAXI 1/5 · US The app keeps changing my address!!: Whenever I schedule a car the pick up address for some reason automatically switches to a different street. It’s done this four times in a row.
  11. [R30] G7 TAXI 3/5 · GB Taxis G7 app crashes on iphone: Every time I rate a run the G7 app for iPhone freezes and I have to restart my phone to use the app again. Otherwise, great service.
  12. [R21] G7 TAXI 3/5 · US Decent app, beware of tip setting: The app works well enough, it’s pretty straightforward. The app does however manage tips in a way that seems a tad dishonest. There is no mention of tipping when booking or finalizing a ride. However, in the settings, there is a “default” tip amount that is set to €5. Unless you change that to €0, the tip will be added to every ride. (Note: tipping 20% is not a
  13. [R22] G7 TAXI 1/5 · US Some parts only in French: Unless you are fluent in French the app is of limited use. Apple Password is not supported so your password must be written down or memorized. Credit card data is required up front before the app can be used. Not worth the trouble.
  14. [R11] G7 TAXI 4/5 · US Chauffeur could not find my adress: He could not be nicer but kept insisting I meet him somewhere else. I told him I always am picked up rue d’Arcole as the gps gives away to get there even with construction. De Bary Voyages
  15. [R36] G7 TAXI 1/5 · US Très décevant: J’ai commandé un G7 par avance pour être sure d’avoir un taxi à une heure précise. Mes 2 premiers essais ont été très décevant. J’ai attendu 10 minutes la première fois, 20 minutes la deuxième. Impossible de communiquer directement avec le chauffeur qui vient vers moi par téléphone ou par text sans passer par la commande centrale. Le premier taxi ne pouvais pas trouver mon adresse o
  16. [R40] G7 TAXI 2/5 · US Taxi rarely stops where it’s supposed to. Not happy with this service.: Not happy
  17. [R28] G7 TAXI 1/5 · US Credit card doesn’t work: I validated the card but, when I tried to use it, the app said to contact my bank. I had to book the taxi with Uber.
  18. [R52] Uber 5/5 · US Awesome Driver!: Kevin was an outstanding driver. I was first impressed by his timeliness and politeness… but that was just the beginning. We had an amazing conversation on the ride to the airport. What a great guy full of both wit and wisdom!
  19. [R65] inDrive. Save on city rides 1/5 · US Subject: Warning regarding the catastrophic update (15-trip limit) and the resulting corruption. To inDrive Management: This message is not just a note, but a formal and strong protest against the latest update that limited the number of requests to only 15 trips. This decision reflects a complete misjudgment of the reality on the ground in Morocco. This restriction has created a corrupt environment... · translated

  23. [R79] Bolt 2/5 · US Good app, but some functionality needs fixing in their algorithm: Bolt has good drivers and the service is nice, but the app says “2 minutes” for a ride, you order, and then it can’t find drivers for 10 minutes and then finally finds you one that is 15 minutes away. Idk why. They used to be somewhat accurate? But the estimated wait times need to be updated
  24. [R80] Bolt 5/5 · US Often Cheaper and Better than Uber: I’ve had a much easier time getting bolt rides in the UK then Ubers
  25. [R81] Bolt 3/5 · US Drivers cancel too much: Drivers cancel too much. Need better incentives
  26. [R82] Bolt 1/5 · US The app is worse than before. · translated
  27. [R93] Ola 1/5 · US Poor app: How the heck this app got 4.6 rating on iOS? Fake reviews and rating. Look at all latest ratings nothing less than poor one star. Downloaded this app on iOS and it doesn’t move past map for Ola. Uninstalled it 3 times and still no work around. Asked AI and was told since Apple ID is from us region the app won’t work. This is sick! Just look at all recent reviews stating same that app won
  28. [R94] Ola 4/5 · US Nations were supported?: Which nations is this app supported? I’m in Sydney, Australia & entered my local # yet received no response. :(
  29. [R95] Ola 1/5 · US Ride is not ending in app.: My ride is not ending in app even though it ended and I paid for it. There is no option to raise ticket for that as you only give automated replies to set questions. No other support option
  30. [R96] Ola 1/5 · US “Write to us”: I wonder how come this be a big ride hailing service in India, which can’t even provide a good support. For every issues it says “write to us” without even providing any contact on how to reach them. Functionality as simple as creating account has issues in the app. It says that too many accounts in the device when I just installed the app now. 5/17: received review response asking
  31. [R107] Rapido 1/5 · US Collecting higher: Very bad experience I booked for 25 When I reached the location it showed 33.if you need extra ask me but it’s not the way to collect extra Not this is first time.nobody comes in line to discuss.

  33. [R109] Rapido 3/5 · US Many auto with different number on night ride is not safe: Many auto with different number on night ride is not safe
  34. [R110] Rapido 1/5 · US Scam: I tried 4 different rides and each one had an issue. The whole platform is a scam. In one of them the driver charged me more than what was agreed. I asked the platform support, shared the proof and they asked me to contact the driver directly.
  35. [R8] G7 TAXI 5/5 · US Best Paris Taxi App: The cars came so much quicker than the ones orders with FreeNow but it does not accept all credit cards. Our American Airlines Citibank MC worked.
  36. [R10] G7 TAXI 1/5 · US 3D Secure verification failed: The app used to work perfectly last year. Now it consistently shows a “3D Secure verification failed” error, and it appears this problem has not been fixed for over a year.
  37. [R27] G7 TAXI 3/5 · GB Goodish app, issues with charges.: The app works well and does what you’d expect however the payment that the app takes is all over the place. I ordered a car with a car seat for which there’s a €4 surcharge which is fine. But the taxi driver charged me the €4 on his charge and then the app charged me €4 as well. So I got charged double the expected rate for a car seat. This happened to me both ti
  38. [R14] G7 TAXI 5/5 · US Substantial Service: We used the service a few times while in Paris and we were blown away with their professionalism. We scheduled the night before for a pickup for our flight out the next morning early and they arrived a few minutes early! The gentleman loaded our bags with more care than we would load ourselves. He also confirmed the gate for us as we don’t live in France, and he also gave us
  39. [R17] G7 TAXI 5/5 · US Great ride: Our ride from Montmartre to CDG was easy and comfortable. Our driver arrived several minutes early. He spoke English and was very friendly. The ride was quick 35 minutes and extremely safe. Using the app is super easy.
  40. [R29] G7 TAXI 5/5 · US Fast, Safe, Awesome!: Booked a 6 am ride to Charles de Gaulle. Driver arrived a few minutes early, loaded my bags for me, and I arrived happy and calm for my international flight. I did have to use a Mastercard instead of my Visa as there was a verification error that kept popping up with the Visa.
