## Review summary

Reviews show AK Yellow Dispatch has potential: quick booking, confirmations, and status updates with receipts. However, widespread issues plague reliability: repeated crashes/freezes, especially when handling cards; inconsistent payment integration; inaccurate cab status and pickup timing; and a weak UI/UX. A few users report positive experiences and willingness to reuse, but many experiences are marred by bugs and miscommunications, indicating stability and usability improvements are needed before broad adoption.

### Pros

- Booking generally works for most users and delivers confirmations and receipts.
- The app enables a quick, easy cab request flow (about 20 seconds to place a request).
- In-app status updates and electronic receipts help users track rides (notifications of acceptance and arrival, emailed receipts).
- Some users express willingness to reuse Yellow Cab and prefer the app as a tool for service.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and freezes; the app is often unresponsive.
- Credit card entry and payment integration are unreliable; users report not being able to add a card or the app crashing during payment.
- Cab status/pickup accuracy is inconsistent, with early/late arrivals or miscommunications with drivers.
- Poor UI/UX design and layout, described as awkward or unfinished.
- Sometimes the app shows the wrong cab outside or creates confusion with competing cab services (e.g., Yellow Cab vs Checker Cab).
