Good Service

LNJZJX on

Very fast and convenient😍

Needs more English text

RONTY MCNASHA on

The site is not complete for English tourists. We typed in our hotel, the address came up in street name and number, no mention of the hotel. The taxi arrived at a slightly different place and started some confusion. I tried to email GO the night before to explain our location just to be sure and also book an appropriate size taxi as the app only shows this in Japanese. They ask for your name in furigana. This is difficult to sort out. Hiragana, easy to copy and paste. Email could not be sent without it. Add a furigana link.

Promoted as “Taxi App for Tourists” however must auth with mobile number

Geymit on

Surface level the app looks good, however we couldn’t get past the authentication screen because we don’t have an active mobile number as we’re using a data only eSIM whilst travelling Japan. Worth considering as this would be beneficial to a lot of travellers with limited options for local cellular and data sims.

Straightforward App

Novachaser1987 on

As native English reader, app was simple and user friendly. The map can be a little sensitive, but no issue.

Better then Uber

setiaraja on

We tried reserving 2 Uber Taxis for a 5.20 am pick up and the apps keep rejecting our request. Finally we were introduce GO by a Japanese Hotel Receptionist, downloaded it and works perfectly as it should have been for Uber (BUT?). While in Japan, use GO Apps. Thank you GO🙏

Review

Llawroc on

Our taxi driver was wonderful

Absolutely Useless unless you are Japanese

Laser2dex on

Useless app, why even bother having it if you won’t let non Japanese people use it?

Requires a Japanese number

Alex142678 on

Not for foreigners. Can't get started as it sends you an authentication code and you need a Japanese mobile number.

Stupid

Korji l on

Dumb for real. Get a life you dogs

Rubbish

Ian Xiao on

Need a Japan mobile no to register, but foreigners only get data sim, so can’t register and can’t use the app to book a cab. How dumb the company is
