About Flywheel - The Taxi App

Currently available in San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Sacramento and San Diego.

Request a cab, watch it come to you, get notified when it arrives, and pay automatically with your smartphone.

★ Wired – "Flywheel…is a slick, seamless process for rider and driver"

★ The Next Web – "all the features that users have come to love and expect…with a fresher interface”

-------------------------------

The Flywheel advantage is simple:

✔ Ease. Request a cab with just two taps.

✔ Convenience. Hail a cab even when you can’t see one and pay without carrying cash.

✔ Reliability. See a map of your cab arriving, know exactly when it will get to you, and call your driver directly through the app. Flywheel is perfect for airport taxi cab service and flat rates are available in many areas.

✔ Value. Licensed cabs from Flywheel use standard fares, which are often the lowest. You pay the same fare every hour of every day, no matter how busy it is.

✔ Great Service. If you ever have a problem, tell us, and we’ll make it right.

by F####:

I didn't have issues with the payment before but now it constantly declines my card. Times out when I re-enter my payment info. Times out when trying to pay through Google Wallet too. WTF, guys. Come on. I committed to using Flywheel over Uber and Lyft.

O70%
by O####:

I agree with others, the developers should seriously reconsider the permissions this app really needs or add explanation why so much is deemed necessary. Also, I am having the same problem as others, can't add a credit card, Google is shown as payment option but when you click on it, a message is displayed that this option is not available anymore... well, then dont show it. In the credit card scan window, a paypal logo is displayed... over all the app feels neglected like it could use some developer tlc.

X70%
by X####:

Been using Flywheel in San Francisco for just over a year now, and have just had occasion to use it between one and four times a week for the past month or so and I've never had to wait more than five minutes for a cab.Had an instance where the driver took the long route and when I contacted customer service they knocked the charges down by 40%. I've found Flywheel to be dependable and have recommended it to friends and co-workers.

D70%
by D####:

Keeps on launching on its own. Killed it many times but keeps on relaunching. Out of here.

D70%
by D####:

There is no reason this app should need complete access to all permissions on the whole phone. DO NOT INSTALL

D70%
by D####:

Driver attempted to scam me, support blew me off when I reported it. Horrible experience.

J70%
by J####:

First impression of the app...first taxi goes further away than where I am at. Second taxi says I am in and charges me.

D70%
by D####:

Love that I can add the tip myself

Y70%
by Y####:

Wouldn't accept any payment option. Deleted.

K70%
by K####:

Needs a fair estimator.

T70%
by T####:

I loved this app until the other day when it declined my payment because I hadn't updated the info for my new debit card. Now it keeps saying my card is declined even though I've got plenty of funds. I tried using another debit card AND my credit card, but it still keeps asking me to use a "valid" credit card. I've contacted customer support via 2 separate emails & gotten no response. I thought I wouldn't have to go back to Uber/Lyft but this is forcing me to do it!

T70%
by T####:

The app will frequently log me out, then states my card is declined. I have to delete it, then re-enter, or put in a different payment. Also, complaints of driver screw-ups are handled poorly. Customer service @ flywheel are 3-4/10. Lucky I hate Uber.

A70%
by A####:

Can't book a ride no matter where I'm at or what time it is. Apps said driver is 5 minutes away. But when I request for it. No drivers are available. U suck flywheel.

W70%
by W####:

3 gfs and I took a flywheel taxi Friday night-all sober!! Driver tried to extort us out of 150% of the fare halfway through our trip, refused to pull over so we could contact police and texted and made a handheld call while driving. Flywheels response...he may need retrained!!! Take this man off the roads and act responsibly!!

T70%
by T####:

First transit app I have ever used. For someone who grew up with black and white TV, I am amazed. Used this twice on Friday night and had a cab in under a minute both times.

T70%
by T####:

Everything worked like it should. My only complaint is it asked for a guaranteed tip before I knew how much the trip was. I would have left more.

G70%
by G####:

What happened? This app was fantastic, now I can't log in. I reinstalled and it worked.

Y70%
by Y####:

For the past several days the app just spins, no cabs. Meanwhile available (luxor) cabs are driving by me. App issue?

Feature that lets me know when cab is coming and who is coming is no longer available, for me that is. Pls fix! I have been sending in requests w/no response

C70%
by C####:

Used this app and the taxi that showed up smelled like alcohol and was absolutely filthy! The driver was rude and his driving scared my 14 year old son so bad we ended the trip halfway through. I think I will go with a different rideshare next time. Worst experience ever.

T70%
by T####:

I love Flywheel. The drivers are experienced and professional. They don't do surge pricing. The owner of Uber is a horrible person who treats drivers like trash. I feel good using this app.

T70%
by T####:

This is my first and last time using this app. Charges 50 % of extra charges and auto high tips is a headache for passengers. I feel like my money is being robbed. Will not use again.

T70%
