DriveNow has the special ability of letting you down when you need it the most. There's rain? It won't tell you about available cars close to you and direct you to one 15 min away. You need a car to go for a dinner? Your reserved car will fail to open and you won't be able to take any other because you already have a reservation. Back to public transport and cab, hoping to make it on time.

Awesome service

J70%

Still does not work with coarse location only (aka GPS) and keeps requesting access to fine location. Why? Also: the app used to show the balance of your prepaid minutes - not anymore. Again: why?

Ortung funktioniert nicht, sehe keine Autos auf der man - so unbrauchbar. GPS doesnt work, i Do Not See an Cars on the map. Cant Use it like this!

I'm pleased with the latest update. Some of the essential features that were removed are back now. Now we just need to wait for our account details to be added back.

S70%
by S####:

Amazing service and app. However I don't like the way you have to lock the car from the app or card after finishing with the car. Should have a in car option or auto lock function when finished with car as well.

After today update app not working show toast with error and google maps not show the cars... Please fix this.

K70%
by K####:

finally usable and good app (after major revamp), good service, would definitely recommend it. some stuff i still miss a lot from the old app: 1) map marker clustering!!!! zooming out the map just looks silly with all those car markers and makes the phone slow as well. 2) being able to see other cars' data after reserving a car. why? because sometimes a closer car pops up and I want to see what kind it is easily. 3) button in car filter to choose "all bmw", like the old app had.

Updated after response from DriveNow, which solved the issue. Fine app. The bottom part showing the cars takes up too much space, even when it's not expanded. And when it's expanded, a lot of the extra space is just blank, containing nothing. I don't need to see a greeting from my car with its "name"... And I don't need to see a photo either. They all look the same.

S70%
by S####:

The last update totally broke this app! It is now almost useless! No settings available. No possibility to search for a specific type of car or change what or how the map displays. They might as well have disabled the app. UPDATE: the current version has filters for cars and a few settings again. also it seems like there are even more cars available now. True there are still useful features that have not been brought back, but in all fairness I have to say that the App is now once again very pleasant and simple to use.

N70%
by N####:

I couldn't use the app and in not able to rent a car because of the app. It doesn't let me upload the requested documents. There's an error message when I try to do it. I've deleted the app and reinstalled it again, but I couldn't finish my registration process.

E70%
by E####:

Don't mind app updates, but taking away 3/4 of all previous features isn't a great way to go about it. How many minutes do I have? Why can't I buy a new package? Etc etc Edit: important features back now!

S70%
by S####:

Update: the app is much better now with the new update. It has most of the things I'm used to. I'll give it 5 stars when the option to add my favorite locations is added. Useless! I cant call this an update. Downgrade is more fitting. April fools is long gone!

F70%
by F####:

From last update app is usable, but it's still far from good. It's sluggish and it doesn't look native to Android (looks like something done in Reactive Native)

S70%
by S####:

still unable to see current free minutes available or buy an hourly package.. just seems like they tried to make it smooth and easy to use by leaving out 50% of the features.

Z70%
by Z####:

Terrible app. Can't reserve a car. Not even getting an error. Sick of there awful apps being released.

S70%
by S####:

With the recent updates, the app is getting slowly back on track. Unfortunately​ there are still important lacks like: profile/account info (free minutes, minutes left, etc), possibility​ to buy minutes packages, gas stations on map and guidelines for parking. On a side note, the "side menu" should appear from the side even with a swipe gesture and not from the bottom.

Edit: The developer has reached out to users and implemented the missing trip review. I will increase my rating and continue to do so after my next few rides. I also want to say that this type of community interaction is very admirable! Well done. OK so after my first couple of rides today I understand the negative attitude towards this App. The main feature is a GMap with Car locations. There is no Summary of your Trip. You dont even get to see the amount you payed for the ride. There is a major lack of transparency in terms of payment especially when car rates differ. I will keep using this app to look up the nearest car but there is not much incentive to switch from the plastic card.

Removing my favorite features... What were you thinking? Update: They listened and fixed it. Yay, you rock.

Z70%
by Z####:

Everytime I reserve a car it crashes, and afterwards, when I try to open it again, I get the message: "App not compatible with this device". It's a Motorola G2....

Q70%
by Q####:

I think in general the App is good and improved. But still needs improvement. Since we have to book the hourly package in the App, after booking it shows in the Plan Trip. I think when the car is unlocked, it should be asked to confirm the Trip. Also after unlocking and start using it, there is no way to find my Trip details for ex: My booked hourly package. I think it can be improved to show the Trip details along with the car details as well during the reservation.

The new app is getting properly shaped, almost like the old one. Usability was increased to an acceptable level.

Seit dem letzten Update fehlen alle Features bis auf die Buchung der Fahrzeuge auf Basis der Karte. Ich verstehe nicht, warum die alle entfernt wurden.. *Edit. Fairerweise ändere ich nun meine Bewertung auf 3Sterne,da die Features nun nach und nach wieder hinzugefügt wurden. Danke an das Team, dass ihr unser Feedback zu Herzen genommen habt.

Crashes always at documents (selfie). Other documents worked well, but clicking the button at the the selfie part (front camera) crashes the app every time.

S70%
by S####:

I spent 10 minutes in the car to find out how to use the car (was my first drivenow experience). The engine wouldn't start first (is there a trick like how long to press the start engine button?), then I couldn't change gears because the "unlock" button in the app didn't do anything... I did unlock it of course before that to get in, and I did have internet as well. I was frustrated and got out and paid for it without even driving...

Onboarding did not work. Support says it happens on some phones. Useless piece of software.

Update: now the main functions are back. Thanks! Old message: DO NOT UPDATE. The new version seems to be still in development. The new app is very limited. I should have taken a look at the comments before updating :'-(

Vergünstigt anmelden (9.98 Euro) und die erste Fahrt umsonst. Gutschein: N8CO5LEF0VHF Haben definitiv die besseren Auto wie die Konkurenz. App ist Kinderleicht zu bedienen!

När jag öppnar appen visar den först hela Sverige, med en liten blå prick över Stockholm, där jag är. Sen zoomar den in på Göteborg, och stannar där även fast jag klickar på "kikarsiktet". Blir lite svårt att boka bil nu. Kollar nån annan app istället.

GPS locating does not work. Kind of a big deal for such an App. Frankly it's a bit embarrassing. At least the cars are shown.
