The Official Adelaide Independent Taxis iPhone App for our customers in Adelaide (including surrounding towns) Uses Adelaide Independent Taxis existing and successful Web Booker database. If you are an existing Web Booker customer there is no need to re-register. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. As it is linked to your Adelaide Independent Taxis Web Booker account you have access to your history & favourite locations from your Web Booker account. Books your taxi directly into our dispatch system & jumps the often busy telephone queue when booking your cab. You will also be able to see how far away your taxi is with our LIVE Tracking feature plus access to a number of automatic "on approach" notifications. Taxi fare estimates are available when placing an order. Book a taxi using the iHail function, which uses the iPhone built in GPS to determine your pickup point and if required you may further fine tune the map pin location determined by iHail by using the map presented location on the screen of your iPhone. The Adelaide Independent Taxis iPhone application delivers a streamlined booking alternative for Adelaide Independent Taxis' customers.

Biggest taxi network in Adelaide but can't seem to nail its app
18/04/2017

I started using Uber recently. The only reason was I couldn't get the AI app to work. Current things to iron out:1. GPS not accurate enough. If I book in my kitchen, the app thinks I'm over the back fence on a different street. If I go on the front porch the app thinks I'm at my opposite neighbour's house. All other apps seem to allow the user to correct the address info on the fly or set a default home address. I couldn't find it on here. 2. Today I was told by my driver that I should always book by phone because drivers don't accept jobs if they don't know the destination. There is no ability to set the destination on the app. There is now a fairly standard set of tried and tested interfaces for Uber and all the national / east coast apps. AI should just mimic those instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. I want to use AI because it has the biggest network but seem to often hit some hurdle and give up. Can't stand Ingogo because they slug additional fees (11% for Amex) but at least their app works.

Poor booking confirmation and notifications

I tried to book a cab but the app crashed, and I received no confirmation of booking, so I assumed the booking didn’t go through. However, the driver turned up the next day, cranky and rude, basically implying I was lying about the booking.I checked - there were NO email, text or even app notifications. The booking was actually listed in the app (but with no in-app indication on the home page).Booking online/via apps are always accompanied at least by a confirmation email or text. I received nothing until a phone call from the driver when he was on my doorstep, so this is also about the booking system.I’d recommend booking via an ‘old-fashioned’ phone call until this app booking system is updated and improved.

Not appy..
Use to get a notification when a driver accepted a job and then we where he is as he approaches your property - now you get phone calls to say driver is waiting at same time app says he is approaching. Pre Covid the app worked - since last update its no better than ringing and booking - Uber is looking good…

Needs to improve ability to edit location

Not a bad app, but if the app thinks you are on an adjacent street, it’s difficult to totally edit that location. You get a mash of streets on the pickup address, which doesn’t help the poor driver. I’ve actually missed a ride because of this. Other than that, the app is fine and easy to use. It’s evolved well.
