    Copped this myself, surprised they worked. Part of me thinks they did it on purpose.

    They got rid of the hailo + option

    Whole point of hailo was that you could request a taxi that didn't stink

    Genuinely 10 off ?? How do you use the code? Just show to taxi driver? Or is there a place to enter code using app when booking the taxi?

    Is that not because you put it in last and it automatically 'chose' that one. You needed to retick the 15 euro one I believe!

    Please , anyone let me know how to use voucher codes.. was going to walk this afternoon to get train but now may take taxi if for free. Do I need to have credit card set up on the app in order to use? Or can I just tell taxi driver the code and he'll deduct?

    Follow this guide except use the codes above.

    yes you have to register a credit card. this is how these apps work so you don't have to worry about having cash. it's also how they justify themselves to investors "we have x million active credit cards..."

    Can you use the vouchers if you say "pay with cash"?

    Still giving away almost €40 worth of vouchers for any business is very unusual, the naming of them is very DEV sounding too.

    Has to be done on purpose. As you even said it sounds to Dev to be using on a live production system. I'm fairly sure that they have test systems you know, for testing things like this.

    I think there not getting the reach with people swapping over. I haven't and don't plan to just yet. Perfect time now to try the other Apps, why they changed the name is beyond me.

    because they became a part of the German MyTaxi group so they had to transition to their tech and branding.

    They're seeing how much press the original photo got and riding on the success of that! They were too clear in the original shot for it not to be intentional.

    I'd love to see how many sign ups they got today.

    You can tick the voucher you want to use, it'll have a green tick on it. By default it auto selects the most recently added voucher, which would be the fiver for people that added them in the order displayed.
