Best App And Best Taxi Company Ever
Best App And Best Taxi Company Ever
Terrible app
This app is simply terrible. It does not work with autofill or password manager. It will not even reset a password after trying twice. I used it once and the taxi was a no show. I gave up waiting and called and after being on hold spoke to a dispatcher. I was told that the app doesn’t actually work and is separate from the real dispatch system and that someone must have missed seeing the email request. So don’t waste your time with this service.
Worked for me
App works fine, I called to verify anyways because it was an early morning flight and I didn’t trust the app because of all the bad reviews. Seems stable. Picked up and dropped off at airport without a problem.
Upgrade not working
The email verification works, but the phone verification does not work. Even when you click to “resend”. Please fix!
Scheduling doesn’t work

New app is much better
The new app is much better than old version. Clearly I can schedule future trips. Wheel chair option is available on the booking page. In addition to app notifications about booking and arrival of the cab, I also get sms notifications on ETA and arrival. Best of all I can register my credit card and pay through the app. Love it!!
Pre-booking is misleading
Prebooked a wheelchair taxi one hour in advance. At the requested pick-up time, my request was then submitted. 30 minutes in and still “searching for a driver”. On hold with the office (20min) to see if I can get someone to pick us up.
Good but could be much better.
The map says I live one block away from where I live. I always have to adjust it. If you save your address in the app, it takes a little time loading. But works eventually. Sometimes I have to close the app and start again because it’s taking too long to adjust. Sometimes multiple times. & When I cancel a taxi, it doesn’t cancel. Then I get an angry driver saying I should have canceled. I did, but the app didn’t register that I did. Also It would be nice to leave a note with my pick up address. When I add an address in and it’s not a known address, I get a call asking where I am. Like if I’m at a store waiting for example. Also a note section would be helpful if I have to use the app for another person in need, “guy waiting with brown coat, named Andrew” or whatever. Good app, but needs a few adjustments.
Doesn’t work
I used the new app on my friends phone and it was great, but I’ve been trying to sign up for 2 days and it won’t text the verification code to my phone?
Needs work
The schedule option was disappointing. I tried to schedule a ride to the airport at 430AM only to find out that the request was submitted at 4:30AM. So I lost 15 minutes by the time a driver showed up at my house.
Works for prescheduling
I prescheduled an early morning taxi pickup and it worked perfectly. Cab was right on time and I had a very courteous driver. Only suggestion I have is to send an email or something confirming the booking. I did end up calling the dispatcher just to make sure they had my info.
This is why taxis are failing
Booked a taxi to take a ride to downtown traffic was no more than usual driver said it would take two hours and to the long way to avoid it. Blatant scamming will never use north shore taxi again.
New Version shows promise, but rough edges
The new version is a big step forward compared to the old one, which was like a 2009 iOS app. However: Password field does not work with iOS 12 password manager integration. Worse, it won’t allow passwords tone pasted. Credit card payments can’t be set (shows “todo”) When these issues are fixed I might give it a better rating.
Finally!
I found this app so difficult to work with prior to the update. There were several glitches that wouldn’t let me add my address. Now, they fixed everything and the app is so much easier to use. Thanks!! ☺️
No show
I booked a taxi for a trip to the airport, they didn’t show up, then they called me at the scheduled time to tell me no one was working in my area. What the? Terrible service. If they called a few hours in advance I could have made alternate arrangements, and I would have understood. Total lack of respect and I’ll not use them again.
No show
I booked a taxi via the app to the airport 24 hours in advance to make sure it would be there on time and the taxi didn’t show up. When I called to ask where by taxi was they advised there are no cars in the area and that I shouldn’t have used the app as it doesn’t work. This was dispute the fact that they are heavily This is completely unacceptable if you book a car via the app in advance you expect that they have booked the car. There was no phone call so had I not called we would not have even been made aware.
Complete joke
I have to tell you this attempt at modern ride hailing is terrible. I have used this app on at least three previous occasions (given no alternative) and the driver never showed up! This even though I had scheduled pick up many hours in advance. After no one showed and after waiting for at least 10 minutes after the scheduled time I called NS Taxi. I was rudely told by some dispatcher that she had absolutely no record of any scheduled pick up. When I told her I had a booking reference number from the app she said she had no idea what that was and had no access to the online service. The service I receive from North Shore Taxi is consistently really poor and unreliable.
How is this app approved on the App Store?
Dear apple employees, As an app developer and customer of thousands of apps, this app is a disgrace on the App Store.. nothing works! The map system is a joke.. I’ve made map systems in half an hour which at least have proper departure and arrival detection on maps. This is just one of the many flaws.
Absolutely awful
Due to the bugs this app has, it couldn’t locate me, I couldn’t type in my address or my destination, and it actually DID send a cab when I did not want to order one, and could not order a cab when I wanted to. What a joke, utter trash.
This defines bad
The world’s worst app from the world’s worst cab company. “An innovation” - is really just a very bad copy of Uber and Lyft, which doesnt work. Try calling them - they take hours to answer and are sadly the most unhelpful people you’ve ever encountered. That’s what you get living ins region where most of the politicians are in the cab companies’ pockets, no Uber and no Lyft. One of the world’s best tourist cities, but until this improves I wouldn’t recommend visiting
Frustrating App
As others have pointed out you can not input addresses. Tried booking a cab yesterday multiple times and it just times out. Incredibly frustrating experience, especially after travelling in the US last weekend seamlessly using Uber and Lyft. Looks like it hasn’t been updated in ten months so you get an idea how much they care about this app.....
