Received txt saying taxi was 1mile away. An hour later I call the company &was told a taxi didn't dispatch to me yet & wasn't able to provide an ETA.

The only one that's pulled up taxis (and quickly) in our rural area. However-- it just lists companies, no info or location, autodials when clicked.

It always feels like magic when i just tap and summon a taxi....new Android version coming soon will be even better.

May be great in larger cities where cabs play a bigger role in daily life...

It listed only one company in the Bronx and two or three in Manhattan . There are definitely over 20 companies per borough. Disappointed .
