1. 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. 4/5Inexpensive, unreliable but very much appreciated

   Salem Skipper is a city sponsored public transportation program. As the title states, the service is ludicrously inexpensive as they often gift free rides and offer referrals for obtaining free rides. When you do pay, the $2 price point for anywhere in the town of Salem is hard to beat. The vehicles are spacious, making them good for larger parties or those doing laundry or grocery. However, because if the limited number of cars and qualified drivers, the service is unreliable at peak hours. Wait times will often be in the 20-30 minute range and that’s if you can even find a car to begin with. In spite of this, when the stars align and the service works as intended, it is very much a life saver and makes one’s commute or errands just a bit easier.

3. 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.

4. 1/5Inconsistent

   The drivers tend to make stops at random locations that aren’t drop offs or pickup spots. And wait there for 10-20 minutes before resuming driving it is highly unprofessional and extremely frustrating, when they wait down the street from where you are supposed to be picked up. Also they removed the option to call your driver for some odd reason which makes it impossible to reach your driver. I’ve had to cancel many rides due to this issue I would not recommend skipper to anyone, until they crack down on their drivers and their inability to do their job. Seriously don't use this app unless you want to have a headache

5. 5/5Only problem is I lost a bag

   The bag was never found but someone did look fir me though, so overall service is pretty good, but the location sometimes where they pick you up at is father from the destination in which you were getting dropped off at or picked up from.
