“Full discloser: I'm CEO of UberCab
UberCab is an on-demand car service with requests made from our iPhone app or SMS. The iphone app allows you to see available cars, which are town cars not taxi's, and request them. We allow users to have a private driver experience at fractions of the cost.
UberCab is simple to use, it's an efficient use of your time saving you the headache of hailing a cab from the curb, and it's an elite level of service from a professional network of drivers!”
“This is an amazing company.... i'm in love with it. ”
“The signup process is horrendous, and as a result I have yet to use this. I spent about 5 minutes filling out the long registration form, and then clicked the link to view the terms of use before accepting. When I tapped to go back to the form, it had been reset, erasing all of the info I had painstakingly entered. Needless to say I was pissed, and haven't bothered to try it again.”
“I guess it's supposed to be like TaxiMagic -- which lets you summon taxis using your iPhone -- but for sedans & limos. The one time I tried to use it, it told me there was nothing in the area. In San Francisco. Will try it again sometime though. I love TaxiMagic, for what it's worth.”
“I was in the city and was literally 4 blocks from my car, but I had to try this.
Conclusion: I wish everything worked like this. Press a button and a driver and private vehicle is en route. I almost felt like a politician! No more San Francisco cab drivers cursing me out because I want to use my credit card...”
“waiting on my login... cant wait to use it”
“Beats the heck out of a cab!”
“YES! uber is the only way to cab.”
“excited to try this out in SF next week”
“Really awesome UX, but not sure if the increased price makes it worth it to be a regular customer. (ie. $35 from Mission to Sunset)”
“have not been able to find a drive with this yet... will keep trying in other cities..”
“I'm not a car service kinda gal, but if I was...”
“love it. amazing sf only service.”
“this was my saving grace at SXSW. i can't wait till this is supported in my home city. calling, tracking and paying for a petty cab through this app made life SO much easier while in austin!”
“A little expensive, but great in a bind”
“Can i be the first one to diss this app. So i am stranded in the mission looking for a cab on halloween weekend... 5..10...30 minutes go by and nothing. I download this thing, you know, since i heard so much about it. I try to get a cab but ahh you need to set up CC payments first. And then when you finally send a message like "16th and Valencia", it replies back with you need to be more specific than that! Okay... so i was with a st number, but then it says sorry no cabs available. Aiight... uber... or ubercab... thanks for not helping 1 bit. But the party at @john's was dope!!”
“Too bad they don't have much service in LA. Looks cool.”
“I haven't tried this yet. When I do I'll update my review. I've heard it's great!”
“excellent service. intuitive app. ”
