- [R2] Uklon Update: Clear, really great, you're good, you can do it! · translated
- [R4] Uklon New design is awful: Please bring back the old design because the app has become very inconvenient to use. · translated
- [R8] Uklon Good app: Nice app. Thank you. · translated
- [R9] Uklon Good service, lacking app: You have to type the address. Dropping a point is never accurate.
- [R1] Uklon Terrible service: I want to share my negative experience with this company and their app. On 21.06.2026, I ordered a car for a specific time through the app, after which I received a confirmation from the driver (unfortunately, I cannot attach a screenshot here). The car didn't arrive, causing my family to miss the bus, which cost me over $1000. When I called customer support, they told me that... · translated
- [R3] Uklon Review: The last three trips, cars are found within a three-kilometer radius; I have to cancel some due to long waiting times. · translated
- [R7] Uklon For Uklon: The app eats, but there are no taxi drivers. Better not to order. Review - 0. · translated
- [R16] Uklon Crap: This damn taxi driver looks for a ride if he wants to, or doesn't if he doesn't. · translated
- [R14] Uklon Passenger Gazaturaeva Shoira: I really liked the drivers' service; they are polite, quickly navigate the area, and the car interiors are clean. An excellent alternative to Yandex, and the prices are even lower. Keep it up!👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯🙏🙏 · translated
- [R17] Uklon Uklon top: For a long time, I couldn't decide whether I preferred Uklon, Uber, or Bolt. Uklon turned out to be more convenient. They also donate a lot :) · translated
- [R19] Uklon Terrible: Ripping me off for money
- [R22] Uklon Time: Very very late it can only find you a driver 1/10 of the time it asks you to keep increasing the price to find you a driver then it says sorry we coudnt find you a driver
- [R5] Uklon More than just a Taxi 100%: Today, Uklon customer support solved my issue in a way that Privatbank's premium support couldn't. I accidentally sent money to the wrong place (it turned out to be a taxi driver), and with the help of the taxi service, my issue was resolved within 30 minutes, even though my request could have been ignored. Supporters Oleksandra and Ruslan, you are 🔥🔥🔥🔥This is magic! The question of who to contact for a taxi in all... · translated
- [R11] Uklon After several updates, it doesn't work: The app stopped working on 15.8.3. Content doesn't load. Before the New Year, the app worked fine. After two updates, the app started working again! Well done, you reacted quickly to the problem! You are the best!!! · translated
- [R29] Uklon Support local business: The Uklon app has its share of bugs, but out of the taxi apps available in Ukraine, it is the most ethical. They even have real customer support that you can talk to!
- [R6] Uklon Rating 3+: Sleighs and snowflakes are very cute. But why is there no proper notification when a taxi driver cancels a call? No normal messages in the app! Support says 'everything is there,' but they couldn't find where it was themselves! Also, I don't understand why payment pre-authorization happens immediately, not when the driver arrives at the pickup point. He changes his mind, and I have to wait for the cancellation and check my balance? · translated
- [R21] Uklon (: A lot of troubles in paying with master card and using promo codes.
- [R25] Uklon No longer useful…: This app became a lot less useful when it began blocking all non-Ukrainian payment cards in 2024. It’s possible to pay cash, of course, but it’s ten times more inconvenient.
- [R40] Uklon I do not recommend Uklon: The driver canceled the order. 130 UAH was debited from my account. The operator endlessly argues that I am wrong because I did not thoroughly study all the features of the application. · translated
- [R32] Uklon T: I called a taxi. I was running very late, but had about 30 minutes to spare. They looked for a car for about 15 minutes, the taxi drove for about 10 minutes, and then the idiotic taxi driver arrived at the wrong place, stopped, and said he wouldn't drive up (it would take him 2 minutes), so he canceled. As a result, I was late for an important meeting and everything went to hell. Thanks, Uklon. · translated
- [R38] Uklon Deleting the app. They left my wife and child out in the cold by the hospital: I've been using the service since it was just a browser-based platform, but all good things come to an end. The scheme: I'm a driver, I arrive at an order, and there's a mother with a child (in my case, my wife and child were being discharged from the hospital after inpatient care). Bingo! I cancel the order because I supposedly don't transport children and earn 50% of the trip. Is that normal? Yes, it's normal! And... · translated
- [R63] Gett Extortionate added fees: Good overall but extortionate added fees
- [R64] Gett Tracks you in the background while you’re not using it: Major privacy concerns. Do not recommend Now adding that they have added some insane fees. £15 per booking.
- [R70] Gett John: I had the option to pre pay a trip and I did. Paid £37 for the ride. The taxi meter read £14.80 when I arrived at my destination. The Bot Chat couldn’t help. Back to Uber for me.
- [R98] Gett £7 charge on a £25 ride: I was in desperate need for a cab and the driver was amazing. He got me to my train on time and saved me waiting another hour in the middle of the night. I noticed when I was in the taxi, they had an app where you only pay for the actual ride. I forgot the name though. I'd happily give the driver a £7 tip, but not the app makers. To top it up: trying to leave the app is
- [R15] Uklon The last app design is terrible: I’m using Uklon for few years and i want to say that the last design of the app is absolutely terrible. Quite often i need to order taxi for my son or my parents remotely and it was ok with previous app, but new app try stick to my current location even if i’m abroad and do not allow me to order from one point in Kyiv to another point in Kyiv. So, please, change it
- [R18] Uklon Why?: Why fix what worked? After the update, it's impossible to see where the car is driving or waiting. Do you have testers? · translated
- [R49] Uklon It used to be the best taxi app....: It turned from an informative app into a nonsensical shell. If before everything was at hand and the main information was always visible, now this full-screen map and unclear menus have ruined everything. · translated
- [R61] Gett Drivers always cancel: I don’t know what’s been happening on Gett but drivers are always canceling. There needs to be a penalty on drivers for canceling so much. It’s almost unusable. You have to be ready 30 min before to ensure you get a Gett on time. Ridiculous.
- [R109] Gett Better than Uber: I have found this to be more reliable for pre-bookings than Uber
