User Reviews

User reviews are mixed. Many praise QR payments and the app’s travel utility for getting around Laos, but persistent issues with high and opaque fees, unfavorable exchange rates, and frequent stability/reliability problems (crashes, slow performance, cancellations) undermine trust. Additional pain points include registration barriers and weak mapping/location features. Overall, the app offers convenient payment and transport options, but financial and technical flaws dominate user sentiment.

Pros

QR/scan-to-pay (LocaPay) convenience for transactions
Useful travel app for getting around Laos via in-app taxis
Generally user-friendly feel (some users)

Cons

High, opaque fees and unfavorable exchange rates for LocaPay and QR payments (e.g., conversion fees, commissions)
Buggy, slow performance and high resource usage including battery/data drain
Unreliable ride bookings (cancellations, status remaining confirmed until schedule time)
Registration/login and payment setup problems (OTP issues, cannot register)
Poor maps/location search and navigation integration (inaccurate distances, hard to find locations)

Recent reviews

BEWARE of dishonest rate fee: The app states the fee is 3% and 5000 lak per transaction. That is not the case. Either they are knowingly overcharging just bc they think the user is unaware, but my fee came out to 9% overall and not the 3%. I reached out to costumer service and they proceeded to tell me that they use Stripe payment system and they have their own rate. I checked Stripe and they use the same international world market rate as everyone else does (as expected).
