User Reviews

Flywheel's reviews show a stark contrast: some users recall cheaper, faster airport rides when the app works, but a large and repeated set of issues dominates (crashes, payment failures, maps/address problems, driver cancellations, and billing/nonresponse from support).

Pros

Cheaper rides than Uber/Lyft (noted by several reviewers).
In some situations, rides arrived faster than competitors (airport/conference scenarios).
Historically reliable/pleasant experience when the app was functioning.

Cons

App crashes on startup or won’t open, especially after attempting to update payment details.
Payment method failures: Apple Pay not accepted and card scanning/manual entry crashes.
Address/map input problems: cannot type addresses; pickup location frequently incorrect.
Driver availability and reliability: fewer drivers, cancellations, and long waits.
Billing issues and poor support: double charges, missing receipts, unresponsive customer service.

I’ve downloaded this thing for the third time in the row after deleting it. I used to use flywheel when I was in Seattle, but for whatever reason got rid of it, I don’t recall. Every time I navigate to the part to update my payment details and complete the app crashes. Then the app will not open again… ever. I have to delete the app and start over. There is something seriously wrong with it and it seems the programmers are doing nothing to fix it based on other reviews I’ve read here. I give up.
