HKTaxi - Taxi Hailing App +4

I received a Network Error while using this app twice in the past few days. Each time I checked recent orders, it was empty until a taxi picked up my order. Then I would have one picked up order and a second order in progress. I just cancel the order in progress and all is fine. Not sure if this is related to a recent app update.

I’ve been using this app for several years. Overall, I love this app. Especially during the pandemic when people worry about handling cash that may be be tainted with the virus. I also don’t have to check whether I have enough cash or carry around odd change.

I’m usually careful not to hail a taxi since I want to pay via the HK Taxi app and not every taxi driver may use it. Recently my spouse hailed one while I was still opening the app. Luckily, our taxi uses the app, so I used the Pay for Street Hail option. It was super easy and fast! Thanks for such a great app and very good whatsapp support.

Originally, this app was a terrible offering... but it is finally up to a level comparable with Uber. However, it would be complete if it could offer an estimated arrival time for the taxi to pick you up. It’s almost as convenient as Uber... almost.

I never have enough cash in me and I love that I can always find a taxi easily and payment goes on my credit card. It’s easy to set this up in the app.

I also love that you can chose to hire eco friendly taxis. Sometimes the wait is longer but it’s worth it when Il not in a rush.

I can also choose an English speaking driver which also helps as my Cantonese isn’t great.
