the app largely works as expected. we had some lessons along the way. once you search for a destination, your taxi will go to that spot even if you hit summon elsewhere. also, apparently you can cancel your ride while your in your taxi even if your phone is locked ans in your pocket. overall, i am happy with the app. i just wish that these were communicated better.

Mostly works like Uber/Lyft do in the US. Drivers are consistently courteous and their cars always clean inside and out. The app itself is intuitive enough, well-translated to English, quite intuitive. But two key deficiencies: (1) Even though the search for places works well, it asks you to confirm the address, which is impossible to decipher for foreigners (so I cross-check using Google Maps). (2) It doesn't predict the fare; you read the meter in the taxi--but it is always lower versus US.

Totally useless if you're not in a major city. I used to use the app's predecessor, JapanTaxi and could always get a taxi pretty much anywhere. If you're in a regional town or the countryside, you are always outside of a service area. Other differences: You not only now need a Japanese mobile # that accepts texts, but this only works with a Japan-issued credit card, so forget your foreign VISA/MasterCard etc. Finally although the interface was English, you will be prompted with Japanese fields.

Even though you can get taxis in most high traffic areas, this has made planning our trip and getting around the cities so much easier. We encountered a couple errors with payment options, but you can always pay in the car instead of paying through the app. I would recommend to anyone traveling around the city. As a cautionary tale, there are some areas of Japan without cabs, so beware.

I have a Japanese number, but only foreign credit card, which the app will not accept. This makes no sense. I live here but still waiting for my bank account. How do ANY tourists use this regardless of the phone number? A tourist SIM is relatively easy, a Japanese card not much. I lived in Cambodia for 10 years, that little country has all this figured out much better than Japan.

Best Taxi Service in the World!!! Always polite, efficient, and clean. As an American traveling to Japan for the first time, the app is exceptionally user-friendly, the drivers are extremely helpful and friendly, and any language barriers, they immediately use Google Translate to speak to you to help you out. All of the below reviews are people who would not adapt to a different culture. Outstanding service, fantastic location tracking and better than Lyft and Uber combined.
