[2012-06-10] Amanda: Can't move to SD Didn't get a chance to use it, as it takes up too much space and can't move it to SD. Was looking forward to it... |
|
[2012-06-10] Lynette: Missed taxi cos it couldn't tell me where it was so I was at back of house when it came Great if ur at specific location, but useless from street. Tracking on android is way behind |
|
[2012-05-19] Ryan: Average at best |
|
[2012-05-14] Sarah: Fast taxi booking Booking taxis this way is more reliable than by calling them, but app frequently says 'Force Close' and won't always let you track your cab. |
|
[2012-05-11] Jerome: Version for HTC one x? I love this app, it show all the detail clearly. I can even track the taxi. However, this app doesn't support HTC one x. Hopefully the new version is coming soon!!! |

[2012-05-04] Tales: Swan Taxi's wasted their money with this app I feel sorry for Swan Taxi's. A local company that have wasted their money on an app that is detrimental to their image. The UX design is so terrible that it makes the app more clunky than just ringing up to make a booking. It's design looks like a web site from the late 90's. The location search function is terrible, it doesn't give any indication of whether it is actually searching or not. It doesn't offer alternate suggestions. Surely an app based on Google Android could actually use the Google APIs?! The user-flow is just poorly designed. Once you've registered you've got to use the menu key on your phone to actually bring up the next list of options. It just goes on and on... |
|
[2012-04-30] Addy: So bloated Bad design. Over 11.5MB when installed when other apps require only 5 or so. Lacks App2SD. Graphic design looks embarrassingly amateurish- may be a nice effort by a teen but come on! Uninstalled. |
|
[2012-04-22] Claire: Gps doesn't turn off after booking GPS doesn't show me where my taxi is, not good when it is cold and you have to wait outside in the cold. I had to give one star as it wouldn't let me give any less |
|
[2012-04-22] Greg: Tracking feature no good The tracking feature always says unable to locate driver please wait until next update in 30 seconds. But it keeps failing. Please update software to function on android 4.0 |
|
[2012-04-09] Chris: Can't enter street number Great app if you don't need to add a street number. Not possible on a Samsung nexus. |
|
[2012-04-01] liam77: Buggy. Battery drain. Huge drain on battery. Taxi driver noted his request said I'd called 5 times for the cab after just booking once with the app. |
|
[2012-03-30] Ash: Update Backwards This now causes huge battery drain on the Samsing G S II unless I do a reboot after using it. It took a while to identify this app as the cause. An otherwise brilliant app. |
|
[2012-03-19] Luke: Still Rubbish Second time I ve tried installing this. Major improvement is that it now logs in. Doesnt seem to be able to link history/account settings from internet bookings though. Better to log in through explorer window. Uninstalled again. |
|
[2012-03-17] Jon: Poorly written code App is reasonably good however it seems to leave the GPS actively running after the app has closed which then requires a phone reboot. This is reasonable when there is an active booking, but it does it when there isn't even an active booking. |
|
[2012-03-15] Bob: Not useful Need o be able to book wheelchair Taxis |
|
[2012-02-29] Katrina: Doesnt work!! I have only been able to book using this app once and that was to test if it actually worked! |
|
[2012-02-23] Amy: Emphasis on the 'when' When it works, it's perfect. |
|
[2012-02-20] Sam: Things this app needs Faster than calling which is good. Needs to remember places in the favorites section. Fix the bug that changes the booking time that you have entered for future bookings. When changing a booking, fix the bug that resets the booking time to the current time. |
|
[2012-02-10] Dan: Does the job barely - Can't be moved to SD card, takes 10MB space, booking process isn't intuitive can leave you thinking you've booked a taxi when you haven't |
|
[2012-02-06] Kris: Needs fixes Favourites doesn't work any more. Can't save any more places. Click favourite and it doesn't add it. |
|
[2012-02-04] paul: Taxi, Does what it says but doesn't improve switchboard response times...good luck using the app |
|
[2012-02-04] Chris: clunky.. needs some ui cleaning up as the whole program could be much more streamlined. otherwise pretty good. 1x glitch of booking time changing from inputted time to 20mins later though;/ |
|
[2012-01-27] Craig: Useful but UI clunky This tool is useful but it could use some usability love. I've seen it munch my battery by keeping the GPS on in the background a couple of times too. Tracker is great. |
|
[2012-01-25] Orodeth Seregon: Not user friendly Tried to book a cab on two seperate occasions and both ended up with me missing my flight. Couldn't tell if the booking was sucessful or not. |
|
[2012-01-19] Andrew: Works good Does what it says HTC desire hd. Wouldn't order a taxi without it |
|
[2012-01-16] Wade: Really handy Love the taxi tracker, makes it a lot easier to order too. No stillin on hold :-) |
|
[2012-01-10] Maverick: Terrible...and almost criminal.. When you call, they charge you $2 for using the phone, suggest you use the app to save money and time, the app does not allow you to save your details, the GPS stays on unless you kill the app forcefully...the 'update' made no difference, many details and fucntions missing...should not be able to hold you to ransom and force you to use an app tha does not work... |
|
[2012-01-10] Christoph.schmid: Simply a lie Just downloaded the app again as they say external sd card is now supported which is critical on my htc desire with low internal storage. Well... it does not work on my phone. They sd option is still disabled |
|
[2012-01-08] Allira: Awesome app, works perfectly every time |
|
[2012-01-07] Hadi: Totally rubbish Even after the last update in January, it still cannot use Gps to find your location, it even keeps gps on, until you rest your phone. You are really disappointing. 1 year passed and you are not still fix such stupid problems. |
|
[2012-01-01] Josh: Doesn't work, resource hog in standby Installed and set up a booking up to the point where the booking is actually made - a 'processing...' dialog pops up then goes away after a second or two with nothing actually done. Quit the app, tried it on my friend's Sensation which worked, and thought nothing of it until waking this morning to find I had slept through my alarm and missed 3 calls because the app had drained 47% of my battery in standby mode. ASC software, if this is your contribution to the age of technology, then send me back to the 90s |
|
[2012-01-01] LlamaLlamaLamp: Really need a "quit" option to use after being picked up! |
|
[2011-12-29] Paul: Brilliant Great idea, never seen this before. |
|
[2011-12-28] Tim: bad force closes all the time |
|
[2011-12-25] Melanie: Very heavy on battery usage, even when application hasn't been used. |
|
[2011-12-17] Timothy: Unusable Freezes for a good 20 seconds or so whenever I try to log in and then leaves me back at the login screen, with no error or other feedback. I thought maybe it might have logged in and just left me there by mistake, but no, it can't access my bookings or anything else. Useless. Glad to have reclaimed the 10+ MB this thing was taking up. (Google Nexus S) |
|
[2011-11-06] the 11/16/2011 Doesn't work on galaxy s2 All works fine until you have entered the destination. Then there is no continue button, no way to actually book the cab. Complete waste of time. |
|
[2011-11-05] Chris: GPS buggy. No live tracking Missing live tracking that the iPhone version has and leaves GPS on and searching after app closed |
|
[2011-11-04] Varinderjit Singh: Awesome Application Best app for taxi users. |
|
[2011-11-03] Steph: Very useful Best part is watching the taxi gps drive to pick you up so you know when to wait out the front. Easy way to book taxis without waiting on hold. |
|
[2011-10-24] g: Too big Needs app to SD |
|
[2011-10-22] Robert: Pile of puss Constantly crashes, huge storage foot print, ring the number to make a booking gtp simply easier! |
|
[2011-10-14] INTRIKIT WISDOM: Awesome app. Finally a practical lifestyle app. But. Awesome app. Finally a practical lifestyle app..1st n 2nd time I used it froze n failed . Pls fix Awesome app. Finally a practical lifestyle app. But. Awesome app. Finally a practical lifestyle app..1st n 2nd time I used it froze n failed . Pls fix |
|
[2011-10-12] Diran: barely functional. doesn't calculate fare/update status of taxi or find location. would be a great application if it worked |
|
[2011-09-26] david: Needs work Great idea, but how about not using ny GPS when I've closed the app? Also needs move to SD card. |
|
[2011-09-15] Katpainter: After the latest update it continually force closes. Even after restarting my samsung tab. Before this update it ran fine. |
|
[2011-09-15] Dusty: Always arrive in good time. Hasn't let me down once!! |
|
[2011-09-12] shanai: would be good if i had the map option on Samsung galaxy s please fix i like the app and use quite often. and gps accuracy needs work. |
|
[2011-09-06] Vivifyer: Constant force close, on Samsung galaxy S |
|
[2011-09-02] Jeremiah: Worst App Ever! This app has never worked, always force closes no matter what, won't accept add4asses, gps doesn't work...could go on and on. Don't waste your time |
|
[2011-09-02] Kym: cant install on Galaxy S2?? wtf? it was working before - why stop new installs? |
|
[2011-08-29] Helen: Could book a wheelchair taxi on it :( |
|
[2011-08-14] Janine: 12MB with no move to SD card and keeping GPS running all the time spoils a good idea. |
|
[2011-08-03] AdamN: GPS stays on even when you logout and exit. |
|
[2011-07-21] Yorik: Getting better, still needs work. Rx'd reply from developer regarding my reported issues. |
|
[2011-07-18] Byron: Great app but has bugs This is a great app for booking cabs, does have some bugs though, force closes often. But will get better with more development |
|
[2011-07-10] Sarah: Doesn't show map or update on taxi location. Doesn't work as well on android as it does on iphone |
