Reviews
Would not sync with my phone number or let me order a ride.
Never connects to a driver.
One of the most unreliable and money pinching apps. Will charge you money and not get you a ride.
I used Curb to order 5 different cab rides during a Thursday-Friday stay in Chicago. Curb worked every time. The one thing I noticed is that no cabs responded to my "ride now" request after a show on Thursday night, but someone did respond to my "ride later" request. After a show on Friday, I made a "ride later" request and only had to wait 10 minutes. I'm glad I found this app.
a very inconsistent app.. most notably, struggles to update driver tip, which means they can walk away with less than a rider would want to give - huge issue -- to be clear (as an update after i received the below response): the app struggles to update the tip DURING rides
This is the 3rd time time I downloaded and tried to use curb. ALL 3 times, the app failed. This most recent time (today) I tried o request a cab and all it did was spin. I canceled to try and start over and it still didn't work. Fortunately, I walked outside and hailed a cab the old fashioned way. I hate to use Lyft and and Huber in NYC but sometimes you can't find a cab and Curb is unreliable!
