Finally able to use the app after four years!

I’ve been living in Japan since 2019 but have been unable to use this app due to having a US phone number or lack of a Japanese credit card, etc. I was finally able to use this app with my US phone number and credit card!
I used it twice recently and FULLY intend to keep using it.

My only issue was with our first driver from this app dropping us off half a mile away from our requested destination (which wasn’t too different of a distance from our starting location to the end location anyways), but it could have been something we did incorrectly, so I’m not docking any stars and will assume it was just that one time.

This will be SUPER useful for any situations that may make it difficult to get to a train station on foot or otherwise. THANK YOU for listening to the feedback!

Great for Tourists!

First time in Japan and after a day of walking and jogging to next train station. It's nice to call a Taxi and relax.

So far every cab we've gotten has been extremely comfortable and welcoming. The app has an English version and is easy to use. We even got a persistent coupon that has saved us over 500yen.

Uber is essentially Go with added fees and the benefit of working with your original payment method. Once you attach a valid card to the go app. It's much better to use than Uber.

I love this App!

As a foreigner coming to Japan from the US and being new to the train systems/buses in Japan, sometimes it was just easier and convenient to request for a Taxi to reach my destinations. This service was very easy to use and our drivers have been very polite. I will definitely continue to use this service during my time (and in subsequent visits to) in Japan 😊

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your kind words of compliment. We will continue to work hard to provide even better services to our customers.
