ubiCabs for Android
IPhone controls are annoying
I had very bad experience with this company. I ordered taxi for my parents from north London to Stansted for £45 day before flight. 1. 10 min before pick up operator called me that they unable to pick up my parents and suggest me alternate taxi. Shortly : He gives me to choice miss flight because driver will be at least 45 min late or pay £17.5 more for other recommended taxi. I agreed to charge me more as I didnt have any other choice. 2. Second driver came late but finally transport my parents to the airport where started be RUDE AND CHARGE MY PARENTS £62.5 AGAIN. My mum was totally embarrassment and she must go to withdraw machine. Whole time driver hold luggage and my step dad in car. 3. When I called back to ubiCabs operator told me that they didnt charge me twice and he even said sorry. After few minutes on phone they didnt know who transport my parent, nothing. 4. Hour later I receive massage that my order was canceled. I called back what is happening, ubiCabs operator told me almost nothing, only lies and excuse that they didnt make any faults. Guys from ubiCabs made me THE WORST transport and I spent a lot of time to explain and apology to my abasement mum.
Puntual, cheap, really good service, I am really happy with that app and the quality of the taxi
Had confirmation of booking with pick up at airport. On landing had notification that booking had changed with a different firm picking it up. Rang the new firm.. They had never heard of the booking. No way to contact the app's team
Good
I was in east London and ie Dodd not even recognise a train station(i will not disclose the station).....but not impressed
Can't fault it, gets you the best price and service is great.
Booked 16h before and got confirmation by app, email and sms. Taxi showed never up the next day, but I did receive receipt.

I've tried a couple of times, but I always seem to get better prices using Kabbee (or just by calling the local cab company). It's a shame, because the app is pretty slick, I'll revisit this app in a few months.
Very convenient and a good looking app!
Good app. Good prices.
A+!
Utter rubbish. Just over £15 more expensive than calling a local firm or using one of the many results on Google. Uninstalled! Great Idea, try again.
Quoted me £55 for a trip to the airport, compared to my usual minicab company that charges £31. Shocking price difference.
Great app. Found a Voucher Code for £5 account credit - UBIAX5 money off cab.
App appears to work well and said booking was confirmed but still waiting 30 mins later. Called cab co who hadn't bothered to send a car so need to wait 10 more mins.
No more time wasted trying to find a phone number for a minicab company, this is so much easier...
Very well designed and efficient - good after sale
Have not tried to actually book yet, but I tried a bunch of other apps and this one seems the most complete in term of features. I did try the 'share location' button. Not as good as glympse, but integrated in the app is nice and handy to tell your contacts where you are!

Booked a cab from Edinburgh airport using this app. Got a confirmation back. Arrived at airport. Contacted the cab company who seemed to be totally clueless about the app. One app to avoid methinks
Best price in London
Love it
Used to be ok. Now the biggest battery eater on the phone even when not used. When opened takes ages to start. Uninstalling and switching to one of many better alternatives.
The works but it doesn't give you any choice to user. Ubicab choose the company you should go for rather than givinf you the choice between different cab firms and thier rates. You cant compare any fares.
It works... Although if you're in a hurry it will take you a while to get started. However the app will charge you £3 on top of a £5 trip. That's 60% surcharge on calling the cab company directly! The surcharge is hidden in the total fee you pay to the cab driver.
I never managed to book anything. The app just sets the destination to the same as the pick-up address after I pick a destination.
Just used the app to get me a quote for a journey to the airport that normally costs £16 and it came up as £26, won't be using.
Nothing available... Just always keeps searching. Once it found something and booked it... But it didn't turn up! Still charged me for it tho!
I like using this app as a way to ensure I know how much I'm gonna pay for my cab. I was especially pleased when you expanded to Manchester, the city I spend the second most time in. But on too many occasions I have found that the app is unable to find a cab for me when I need it short notice. I tried booking one last night and was told there was nothing available. This was a Friday night in Manchester city centre!! This has to be sorted out!
Got a quote via the website but cant get any quote for the exact same journey/date/time via the app. So what's the frikkin point in the app?? Rubbish!
Gave me a cheap price but then couldn't find a cab company to honour it so had to book elsewhere! Not entirely sure what they base their prices on.
Easy to use and has never let me down (used in London only so far)
It used to be ok. It has been ruined. Setting the destination address has become impossible.
1) Great idea. Pretty much the 'black cab' version of Hailo. 2) The app is horrendously made. You should fire the developer. I don't need the 'destination address' to change every time I click on the map. I cannot update the primary passenger's name/number. 3) How can you show status CONFIRMED and then change status to CANCELLED without any sort of notification? This left me stranded and only realised afterwards that the booking had been cancelled by the cab company. 4) Credit card payments don't work. Never have. 5) If you leave the app in the background (in case you need a number etc), when you come back the screen is on a different area and you have to re-enter everything. The concept is good, but this was clearly developed on a tight budget. Get all the issues sorted out and you may have a great app on your hands. However, the fact that 30% of my bookings have been troublesome, this app deserves no more than 1 star.
Best way to book mini cabs in London.
First use - waited for an hour. Rang the number given and got someone at home who had nothing to do with cabs! No car turned up. Second time, got email saying cab available, then another email saying no cab available and apologies with local numbers of cabs. Then got a phone call while in another cab stating cab is waiting outside??? I gave it a second chance and this app is complete waste of time. Do not use - stick with established players in market.

You even use the app . Uber is much better
