- [R2] Yandex Go Excellent: Clean, good smell, pleasant driver, good music. · translated
- [R5] Yandex Go Nice: Comfortable ride, clean car, and a pleasant experience. Highly recommended!
- [R14] Yandex Go Great ride: On time and polite. Nice car and cool inside!
- [R61] Bolt 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
- [R4] Yandex Go Terrible: They added gas stations. · translated
- [R12] Yandex Go They didn't add it to Yandex.Maps, only to the obscure "Gas Stations" app that no one uses. They advertised a useless app and ignored users. · translated
- [R66] Bolt Not as reliable as UBER in USA: This app works well in Spain but not so well in Italy and France. It takes a longer time to secure a driver than in UBER USA and very often driver cancels in the middle of the trip, sometimes it takes three driver attempts to secure one ride (specially in Paris).
- [R72] Bolt App works great. Horrible support: App is great and like others said mostly cheaper than uber. But when anything goes wrong, support totally sucks. They make 0 attempt to listen to complaint.
- [R3] Yandex Go The recommendation system for reviews is practically zero; competitors have already solved this problem, so why do it so clumsily? · translated
- [R22] Yandex Go On iPhone, the filter works only half the time. Complete hack job. · translated
- [R27] Yandex Go Improve "Support" service: Yandex created .Taxi, .Food, .Delivery, all great, thank you. But when you write to support, they always claim it's not their fault. · translated
- [R63] Bolt Drivers cancel too much: Drivers cancel too much. Need better incentives
- [R10] Yandex Go Don't arrive at the destination: The first driver arrived but stopped 100 meters away and didn't wait, even though I messaged him in the chat to wait. In the end, the driver canceled the order. They charged me for waiting and for the pickup. Very nasty, it was raining outside, and the service was terrible. The next driver was found only after 15 minutes. It would have been fine, but he stopped 50 meters from the entrance in heavy rain; apparently, he couldn't drive up. · translated
- [R24] Yandex Go Yandex: Accepts orders and doesn't arrive, but still charges a fee. Support responds in no less than 48 hours, asks a clarifying question, then disappears again. · translated
- [R37] Yandex Go Incredibly long wait at night: Waiting for one to two hours. · translated
- [R78] Bolt Price changed: Checked and ACCEPTED app for ride Patong to international airport for 741 baht - at airport DRIVER AND APP CHANGED FARE TO 991 baht - deceptive- now have to show driver accepted rate before rides
- [R29] Yandex Go It's an excellent service that has gone downhill. They inflate prices; for a 6-minute ride, the prices are completely unreasonable. Why should I pay to fill half the taxi driver's tank for a 6-minute ride? · translated
- [R43] Yandex Go Miss: Often gives very high prices. · translated
- [R120] Bolt Worst and slowest support I've ever received: Bolt seemed promising, offering cheaper rides than Uber but the cheaper rides are with tiny European which are uncomfortable. And if you lose anything in their car, good luck getting it back because their support is by far the slowest and unhelpful I've ever experienced. Stick to Uber for a more reliable ride sharing journey
- [R1] Yandex Go Scum: If you cancel your ride then try again price is higher:/ then i will use Bolt
