However, after the last OS update, it's integration with Maps is broken, and I almost had to walk into the street in order to get it to recognize my address. I can no longer enter an address nor can I use the map to select one. App needs maintenance before it will be useful again. -- SFLeeT, 2024-12-20 ### *---- "Completely broken Apple Pay" The app says it supports Apple Pay but if you try to add a payment method using Apple Pay it just fails. -- zachklipp, 2024-12-15 ### *---- "Crashes, doesn’t take payment, and is buggy" I’m surprised Apple let this app into the store. It’s aweful. Says my Apple Pay isn’t valid (it is), crashes when I try to manually enter in a card, and is extremely buggy. Terrible app. -- TristanMatthias, 2024-09-29 ### **--- "Terrible App" I was in San Francisco and needed a way to get a cab. Long story short, I ended up with the Flywheel app. The app is not difficult to use, but it also isn’t easy. It is not very intuitive. The worst part is, there is no way to access a te riot for rides. They say they will email to you automatically, but they don’t. After reaching out to their support numerous times, I still have no receipt. They keep saying they will send it, but they never do. They have tried to blame it on me, saying I blocked them, and yet I’m getting all of their replies to my emails requesting a receipt. When I finally asked if they could just attach it to their response, they stopped responding. That is an $87 cab ride I have no receipt for so I can’t expense it to my company. I have gotten every receipt from all the other rides from other cabbies, but not theirs and they refuse to help me. I can see a record of rides on every other app, and access that receipt, but not this one. Don’t use Flywheel if you need a receipt. -- Bloomquist324, 2024-06-29 ### *---- "Bad. Misleading" This app is horrible. It charged me double the cost of the ride because my driver chose the longest route possible, and it didn't even send me a receipt for me to validate the charges. Insane. Definitely not using again -- Ratata125, 2024-06-28 ### *---- "App used to work" I didn’t use it much mostly because the app was always buggy. Now it doesn’t open at all. Wish I could support these guys. -- asilva707, 2024-04-03 ### **--- "Trying to support cab drivers, but..." I would rather support cabbies than Uber, but I'm SF the app tries locating a driver in Hayes Valley (my pickup location base), but never finds one. Also, trying to type in the address typically doesn't help the cabbies because they still ask where I want to go. The whole point of taking a cab is to say "I'm going to this corner or this store". They know the city. But now I have to lookup the precise address to use the app (before you could use the app without having to type an address). It is really challenging to find a cabbie on the app now and I end up using Uber. -- Layover Leftovers, 2023-12-17 ### *---- "App can’t load" I’m on the latest version of the app and it can’t log me in. Tried killing the app but it does not work -- BootstrapCoin, 2023-10-14 ### *---- "Non usable" The app immediately crashes every time I open it. -- Obasi Lewis, 2023-10-08 ### ****- "Pretty Ok" Used this app during a conference when I saw the cars driving around the city. It came faster than an Uber or Lyft who kept cancelling on me. Only thing I would be wary about is that If you have to take a toll road or bridge, that doesn’t seem to be built into the app for the drivers so my driver asked me for the toll $ and I don’t have cash so I didn’t know what to do. A little weird and would make me second guess using it if I need to take a toll. -- babs6171828273, 2023-09-27 [View all Flywheel reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Flywheel Discovered Keywords - the taxi app - flywheel ## Apps Similar to Flywheel - [Yellow Cab Co](https://apptail.io/app/yellow-cab-co-SZc/united-states) - [Arro - Taxi App](https://apptail.io/app/arro-taxi-app-zGg/united-states) - [MuniMobile](https://apptail.io/app/munimobile-wcH/united-states) - [Waymo](https://apptail.io/app/waymo-ZWS/united-states) - [Cruise - Driverless Rides](https://apptail.io/app/cruise-driverless-rides-aXS/united-states) - [YoTaxi SF](https://apptail.io/app/yotaxi-sf-mZS/united-states) - [Lyft Bike - Bay Area](https://apptail.io/app/lyft-bike-bay-area-nZS/united-states) - [Routesy](https://apptail.io/app/routesy-qZS/united-states) - [SF Muni Buses](https://apptail.io/app/sf-muni-buses-cbT/united-states) - [Wingz](https://apptail.io/app/wingz-nLIb/united-states) ## Flywheel Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/flywheel-the-taxi-app-legacy-lZS/united-states) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/flywheel-the-taxi-app-legacy-lZS/united-kingdom) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/flywheel-the-taxi-app-legacy-lZS/canada) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/flywheel-the-taxi-app-legacy-lZS/germany) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/flywheel-the-taxi-app-legacy-lZS/belgium) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/flywheel-the-taxi-app-legacy-lZS/india) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/flywheel-the-taxi-app-legacy-lZS/israel) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/flywheel-the-taxi-app-legacy-lZS/netherlands) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/flywheel-the-taxi-app-legacy-lZS/peru) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/flywheel-the-taxi-app-legacy-lZS/france) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/flywheel-the-taxi-app-legacy-lZS/australia) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/flywheel-the-taxi-app-legacy-lZS/spain) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/flywheel-the-taxi-app-legacy-lZS/finland) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/flywheel-the-taxi-app-legacy-lZS/argentina) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/flywheel-the-taxi-app-legacy-lZS/ireland) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
