iCabbi app. Testers needed.

turnsoutIwas

I've cleared this post with the mods

A friend has developed this app and is just ready to launch it but needs a little help before it goes fully live.

50 Iphone users needed to test new revolutionary taxi booking app

iCabbi is a new mobile technology which allows customers to view, book and track taxis all with the touch of a button. Having spent nearly a year developing the product, we would like 50 volunteers who have iphones to help test the product.
All we need you to do is book a taxi using our software between given dates and then give us your feedback. Drivers will be instructed to give you 20% discount on these fares.

If you are interested in being one of the first users and helping out please PM me your email address.

Thanks,
Mick.

I'd test it for you if it was fake data, don't use taxis very much. Am a tester by profession.

turnsoutIwas

Thanks for the reply. Will check with my friend but I think its more live testing now. They have drivers out there ready.

I should also add that this is only live in Dublin at the moment.

ill give it a go this weekend send me details thanks

turnsoutIwas

Thanks. Can you PM me your email address and I'll get the details sent to you.

turnsoutIwas

Thanks to all who sent me on the details. If anyone else is interested this is basically an app where you can get a cab to come to you at the push of a button. You can also see where the cab is in realtime as it comes.

quintron

Always up for testing some software. PM sent.

Sounds cool. Similar app here in Hamburg if you need ideas:

It's not taking off as well as it should as they are charging too high of a fee to the drivers.

Sent you a PM

Thanks for that-will pass it on to them.

Also thanks for all the email addresses guys...what would we do without boards?

Anyone else able to help would be greatly appreciated.

There's an Irish-based developer community over at http://x-cake.ning.com who are usually more than happy to help test apps.

Might be worth a try.

turnsoutIwas

Thanks for that Vinny-will pass that on to them.

Kenny Powers

Any update on this still waiting on a link?

turnsoutIwas

I'll send him a mail and let you know as soon as I hear back.

Nelbert

Would be more than willing to test this out if the offer is still there.

turnsoutIwas

Not 100% if they have enough now or not but PM me your email and I'll forward it on. I will post back here when I hear back from him.

Kenny Powers

Still no word? I thought the trial was this weekend?

turnsoutIwas

Sorry been a bit busy today in work and forgot to post I spoke to him last night and he told me there is a delay with the testing phase. This should be ready soon and you will hear from him then.

There will be a website very shortly which will do the same thing. You will be able to see where the cabs are before you book and track it as it comes. Pretty much the same thing but not an app. Will post the link when I have it.

Again, apologies for the delay and thanks for all the support....

Plebs

Only Nokia phones are supported, right?

Are iCabbi registered dispatchers?

naasrd

Just downloaded this. It's very impressive. A game changer for ordering taxis if you have an iPhone.

Dublin_Gunner

Does it work on iPod Touch? Does it use GSM or internet? (or both)

Would be handy to use when connected to the net on my iPod touch

Kilnacash

Anyone any idea if/when this is going national or to Cork?

Maybe this app include this, or maybe it doesn't, but anyway...

A real handy feature would be a "receipt" emailed to the email addy registered with iTunes. I don't mean one for how much it cost (maybe that could be included too?), but one that give details of the cab taken, collection point, drop off point, etc. Just thinking about if your iphone fell out of your pocket whilst in the cab. At least when you wake up, you can check your email, and get all the taxi details to help in your search.

As soon as you book you get the car reg, the driver's mobile number sent to you on the app.

Cool.
An email would probably be better, as having the info in the app isn't really gonna help you if your phone is gone.
