App was functional, but I could not find taxis. Others who had Kakoa T next to me always found taxis.

Unreliable. Lots of drivers accepting not moving so you cancel (and they get paid) or simply picking up but refusing to use the app.
by B L, 2024-12-01

Buggy app. Charged me for services and noone came. Doesn't tell me how far away the driver is, a chance to cancel, number to call for issues, or a chance to reserve a pick up time.
