About the rating

90% five-stars with a textAvg of 3.24. a noticeable gap, but explainable: a long app history (since 2020) has accumulated loyal users, while recent 2025-2026 updates triggered a wave of dissatisfaction. Both groups of reviews are specific and credible.

Strengths

What users love

Weak spots

What users hate

  • Recent updates have caused the app to miss trips or fail to close routes correctly: data is lost with no recovery option. Transaction history sometimes stops syncing without warning. Intrusive third-party service offers inside the interface disrupt the workflow.
