Don't bother trying to get a "wait and save", just wait for the fees to change yourself as it has a good chance of being ignored by drivers that are supposedly 4-6 minutes away. Don't spend the extra for price lock, it just deters drivers. I just spent over 2 hours for a "45 minute wait" that never even got picked up. Then they'll try to charge you a cancellation fee when you decide to finally give up. No support, just revolving FAQ bs. 2 stars only because most of the drivers are great.

this app is horrible. you may as well use a different one. it takes longer than it says every time. if you pick standard your waiting as long as wait and save anyway. I picked wait n save and got a driver right away 1 time but never on standard. it sends them the longest of routes also. it has quite a bit of bugs. why would you send them where the most traffic is. also the app exits sometimes and by the time you open it it costs more than it said 30 seconds ago. not good.

Last night I spent 10 extra dollars for a short wait, but ended up waiting 20 minutes in the dark, in an area where there had been a shooting earlier. The worst part is that the app offered differential pricing, and warned me that choosing a cheaper option meant a 10-20 minute wait. It did not warn me that choosing the "pay extra for a 5-8 minute wait" did not guarantee the thing I was paying for. Tried talking to customer service: no luck. I'm switching back to local cabs.
