I love this app. It's made this aspect of being a foreigner in Korea simpler. I like that I can get a taxi to where I want to go without the frustration of trying to translate or say a Korean address. It's also nice that it's linked to Kakao maps. Once I find a place in Maps, I can click the T button and it will do everything for me. One thing that should change, if I use the app in English, the location name is given to the driver in English. A few won't pick you up because of this.

I've recently had surgery, so I rely on taxis to get around. What's the point of the booking option if no taxi's will accept it?! Not to mention, the taxi's never show up in the rain! Truly awful. If you can, use uber instead!!

There's a big bug in the app. It's impossible to activate your phone number (when I typed in the code I receive via SMS it says the code is not valid, when I tried with another phone number the activation code never received and then they blocked me for 2 hours because I had too many "incorrect" attempts). And without activating your phone number you can't use the app. So basically the app doesn't work.
