3/5Great idea! Not enough cars.
Awesome idea, good execution, and super affordable! I just wish there were more skippers on the road. It’s often all booked up or has a long wait time (25-40min). Especially during tourist season! One issue I do have is skippers dropping off into roads. If I am on the left side, the driver will pull onto the right hand shoulder and open the left hand door into traffic for me. On busy Salem streets, this can be dangerous. I get the impression that they’re instructed to do this by some type of management, but it is concerning considering it is a main transport for students and the disabled here.

5/5No login button
I was using this app fine onmy precious phone. Got a new phone, and there's no "login" button when you open the app, just a single button that says "get started". I metered my info anyway, and it obviously says there's already an account with that email address, but it doesn't give me the option to sign in anywhere?! Please reach out or fix, and I'll update this review to 5 stars.

2/5Roll the dice
The only thing going for this service is the price. If you need to be somewhere on time, make sure you plan at least 45 minutes ahead. Also, this service only picks you up at intersections and the 2-3 actual good drivers are overshadowed by the unprofessional and impatient bad drivers that give you less than 2 minutes to get to your pickup point before they drive off. Book this service at your own risk.

2/5Great, however, when you have to be somewhere not the best.
This app is amazing. It’s so affordable to use in Salem, however the reason is it getting two stars because when you have to be somewhere they aren’t considerate that you need to go somewhere. Either you call it 5 mins before or even an hour. The drives do not try to do the best for time. If you don’t have any deadlines on time this app is great, but if you have to be somewhere like work not the best!

5/5I’ve been hesitant to use this service… but I’m so happy I gave it a try.
As said in the title: I was told about this app/service last year and was curious but never gave it a try. I wish I did. I would have saved hundreds by now! I don’t know how this service works, BUT THANK YOU.
