Continuously deteriorating functionality: 1. When opening the app there's a pop-up "Refer now" that cannot be closed (the "X" doesn't work) 2. I have two valid credit cards plus PayPal in my account, but when I try to order a taxi, the app just says "A different means of payment is required for this trip" / "Add payment method", and even when I add a third credit card, the error doesn't go away. It once was a great app (mytaxi), but this is unfortunately just deteriorating while Uber gets better

The app is good and combines several car sharing and taxi provider. However, the rates are sometimes higher than the actual provider+ charges an additional service fee. There are also really high hidden fees like "drop-off fees" for certain areas or "airport fees" which you will only notice after finishing your ride. There is no clarification or notice before starting or parking the rental. This is just cash-grab!

they work with different car sharing partners, miles, sixt, etc... so they have different areas, and today I took it from the airport and without prior notificacion this car had a really reduced area where you can leave it... so I was full with luggage and to end the rental they charged me 31€ extra... it is unacceptable, the customer has to pay for a situation that was not prior notified. taxi was cheaper at the end...
