App said, "Payment is Processing. Please Wait" cab driver demanded cash. NYC: After paying with cc the app was stuck on, "Payment is processing. Please wait." The cab driver said the app was not working, and I had to pay in cash. He said he could not give us a receipt. People were impatiently waiting to get in the cab, so we were rushed. Of course, after we paid in cash, I checked my cc, which was also charged.

Terrible Like others I liked the idea of supporting drivers so tried the app, but I tried it twice and there were no cabs available either time. Plus, the second time the app took about 20 minutes to tell me that, by which time I had decided to walk. The worst part is that they charged my credit card and I am trying to get them to refund me, so far without any luck. Good concept, absolutely terrible execution.

Hidden costs Used curb for the first time this past weekend. Midtown to LGA. Booked the night before and chose it over Uber because it appeared to be about $25 cheaper. My $45 quoted fare quickly turned into $71 wiall the add-ons. Same price as Uber at the end. And beware that it defaults to a 20% tip unless you go into your account and change it. Found out too late.

Scheduled a taxi for early morning Scheduled a taxi for early morning. Driver assigned, after several minutes I noticed car not moving and I. A neighborhood street. Called dri8, he asked where I was going. After I told him, he said system is not working. Cancelled ride. Requested new ride, same situation. 2nd assigned driver hung up without speak.

DISHONEST PEOPLE Long story short, my Fiance and I took a brief ride from Grand Central to Port Authority, not long after I realized that I did not have my phone on me. I was able to use the find my phone app and could see it was in the cab going around the city. I pinged my phone numerous times only for it to be manually turned off for 12 hours. I emailed the dispatcher with the information he needed and have NOT heard back and I also followed up before I posted this review. They have no intention in helping me recover my phone nor have the decency to respond back - avoid all yellow cabs at all costs. Just awful.
