There's one thing to know about this app - it's nowhere near "free" and "now" is absolutely irrelevant. There's no support to contact (I don't take the ticketing system into account because that's a ridiculous registration wall), spam after the registration is guaranteed (they sent me 4 different emails between the moment I installed the app and booked my first ride), the cost quote is random (in my case it said £16-22, ended up costing me £30), the vouchers are just a scam. Uninstalling.

FreeNow does not offer any riding security. No pin code for collection, can't cancel an ongoing trip, so a driver can tell the app they picked you up and drive away. their customer support takes more than a week to reply, even in emergency scenarios. Taxi driver charged €25 without collecting me, and FreeNow just offered me a €10 coupon, not even refunding the trip. Uber provides a more secure, and global experience. In reply to dev: I've already reached out via the app support, to no help.

The worst app ever. I lost access to my email, and the app doesn’t allow me to change the email address linked to my account. Even when I request the SMS verification code, it still asks for a confirmation code sent to the email I no longer have access to. Just to change one small detail and take a simple taxi, I have to call customer service. Completely ridiculous and extremely frustrating.
