"Traveling solo through Laos felt so much safer with LOCA. I loved that I did not have to haggle with drivers and could pay for everything, from rides to local coffee shops, just by scanning a QR code with my US credit card. It is a total game changer for peace of mind!"

Sarah Jenkins

"LOCA is the ultimate travel hack for Laos. The eSIM worked instantly the moment I landed, and the ride-hailing is as seamless as Uber. Being able to pay via QR code even in small shops meant I rarely needed to find an ATM. It is the only app you actually need."

Users frequently encounter significant app bugs such as unreceived SMS verification codes, inaccurate destination searches, and the app causing excessive phone heating and battery drain. While some users praise the quality of drivers and the general convenience and ease of use for booking rides, the app is widely criticized for its lack of reliability and poor customer support.
