Octopus - Driver

doubtful rating

The concept works: the tablet entertains passengers, the driver earns passive income. But after switching to an Uber-only partnership and changing the points system, payouts for many drivers dropped or stopped entirely.

About the rating

A rating of 4.95 with 21 thousand ratings is atypically high for a utility driver app. Many five-star reviews are extremely brief, while detailed complaints describe systematic score-tracking failures after the switch to JourneyTV.

Strengths

What users love

  • Especially children
  • And it genuinely improves the atmosphere of the ride.
Weak spots

What users hate

  • The tablet GPS tracker systematically fails to count trips
