Call a Taxi app review: always find a taxi

Introduction

Never be at a loss for a taxi again when you have the Call a Taxi app. There will be no such thing as wondering where a taxi is when you need one because the app allows you to instantly find a taxi no matter where you are or what time it is. Even if you don’t use taxis often, when that one time does pop up at least you’ll be prepared if you’ve got this app downloaded.

This app does contain ads, which you can remove with an in-app purchase, but really they aren't in the way nor are they distracting. Likely you can deal with them just fine. To remove them is $0.99, which at least is a cheap purchase.

 

Using the App

Upon launching the app you will notice there is nothing flashy or high-tech here yet the information it provides is incredibly helpful. This is one of those cases where you shouldn’t judge the book by its cover. The app will use your location when you launch it to immediately locate all the cabs near you. I am actually pleasantly surprised at just how quick a list of taxis loads; we are talking mere seconds, if that.

Tap on any of the taxi services to pinpoint it on a map, get directions to where the taxi service is, find out the phone number, see the customer rating, and read a review of the service. The directions are displayed on the map and tell you the distance in kilometers/miles as well as the time it will take to get there. This information can also be shared in case you it needs to be sent to a friend/family member.

Because this app uses your device’s GPS you will need an Internet connection to make it work.
