"Traveling solo through Sri Lanka felt so much safer with PickMe. I loved that I could call a Tuk-tuk and know exactly what I’d pay without any haggling. The live tracking and driver identification gave me total peace of mind throughout my trip!"

Sarah Jenkins, Digital Nomad

"Visiting home from the US, PickMe is an absolute lifesaver. The experience is just as seamless as the ride-sharing apps I use in California. From reliable airport pickups to booking luxury sedans for meetings in Colombo, it is my go-to every time."

Review Analysis

Sentiment Score

Negative

Summary

The app receives overwhelmingly negative feedback, primarily due to unreliable driver behavior, significant payment issues, and unresponsive customer support. Users frequently report drivers accepting then canceling rides, overcharging, taking detours, or refusing card payments, especially for credit cards. Many struggle with the app's payment system, experiencing foreign card rejections, incorrect charges, and unprocessed refunds, compounded by a customer service that is slow, unhelpful, or non-existent. While a minority of users appreciate its affordability and functionality for finding rides in busy areas, the app's overall instability, frequent bugs, and poor service reliability lead many to recommend alternatives like Uber.
