S'hail Customer Insights

1. Tried to register to use the booking feature, but even after creating a username, password and giving my phone number and email, the app couldn't send the verification code to my email account! Very frustrating and I know you'll be "sorry to hear about the problem I had", just wish someone would work out all the bugs before promoting the app.Even if you book the taxi he will pick someone else, I booked 2 taxis for palm Jumeirah, after waiting for half an hour for both, it ended up picking someone else.

2. The live location seems like a scam; either it's on a massive delay, or they are just predicting route locations based on schedule; in any case, a bus is never there where the app says it is.Followed app suggested route on two different occasions and lost my way to the point where I have to come back via Uber.

3. Had to call RTA to get the cab driver name who told me that he didn't have the passenger number hence waited for 10 mins and cancelled the trip.

4. i just wish that in future this wont require data to be able to use.S'hail application has really made my life so easy in terms of traveling through public transports provided by RTA.

5. For example,for the price of metro tickets it said 3AED when in fact it was 6 or even 8 for standard, single trip tickets.

6. It also said leave ADCB metro station exit 2 for the Dubai Frame but it should be exit 1.Edited: before 5 star.

7. I'm using the latest update.Best app for bus timings and shows if the bus are delayed and how long would we have to wait.

8. Booked a cab through chat service, didn't receive any call or message.

9. In addition to that, the app doesn't work efficiently and non user friendly.This is very helpful, but not very accurate.

10. Very useful for planning travel in Dubai, but the information does not seem to be accurate.

11. There's no phone number of the driver, and they don't call you either.
