## Review summary

User reviews show a split experience: the app is fast and convenient and praised when functioning, but widespread reliability issues dominate. Common problems include signup barriers tied to country codes, payment-method changes and post-cancellation charges with poor refunds, frequent bugs/crashes (including session errors and OS compatibility), and rigid address input that hinders ordering. Drivers frequently cancel rides or orders are canceled, causing long waits. Overall sentiment is mixed-to-negative, with reliability and support cited as major pain points.

### Pros

- Fast and convenient ride requests (faster than calling a taxi).
- Generally reliable over time when it works (used for over a year with positive experiences).
- Positive user sentiment when the app functions (noted as Excellent, Super app, etc.).

### Cons

- Registration issues due to country-code/local-number requirements; non-Moldovan sign-ups fail.
- Payment problems: inability to change payment method after ordering and charges for rides when the driver cancels, with poor refunds.
- Frequent bugs and reliability issues: session-not-found errors, crashes after updates, and compatibility problems with older iOS versions.
- Address input/destination limitations: difficulty specifying or selecting an address, with limited/incorrect options.
- Orders often canceled by drivers/operators and long wait times, leading to wasted time and frustration.
