User Reviews

OWTO offers cheaper fares and polite drivers, providing a promising alternative to Grab in the Philippines. However, multiple users report significant issues, including inaccurate maps, poor real-time tracking, buggy and confusing UI, limited driver availability causing long wait times, and lack of features like driver ratings and smooth payment integration. Improvements in location services, app usability, and driver pool expansion are needed for better customer experience.

Pros

Cheaper fares compared to Grab, making it a cost-effective alternative.
Drivers are generally polite, kind, and professional.
Booking a ride can be fast when drivers are available.
Provides an alternative ride-hailing service in the Philippines.
Some users experienced pleasant rides and helpful drivers.

Cons

The app's location tracking and maps are inaccurate, outdated, or difficult to use; manual pinning is often necessary.
Lack of real-time driver tracking and inaccurate estimated time of arrival (ETA).
User interface (UI) is buggy, unfriendly, or confusing, with issues like cropped screens and difficult navigation.
Difficulty adding or using payment methods like credit cards; no rating or loyalty features.
Limited number of drivers leads to long wait times or inability to book rides during rush hours or peak times.

Recent reviews

First time user of app here, driver was very kind. I hope you can also improve the tracking of trips in real time. I booked a ride for my brother but I was not able to see where the car is before (he just notified that he's there) and during the trip, it just showed my current location. But overall, I would recommend this app to a friend. It's a good alternative for Grab.

Needs improvement on their maps. It's not updated since some places or bldg names cannot be found, so still have to manually pin. Location search results also shows places in other countries, it should be narrowed down to PH only. Also, currently there's a lack of drivers so never got the chance to book successfully using this app. This app is promising, we need an alternative to Grab. I hope this gets better.
