Le migliori 10 app Android per chiamare un taxi nel mondo

androidheadlines.comTopTenBestTaxiApps With New Year’s Eve fast approaching, we thought it would be appropriate to give you a list of taxi apps, just in case you party just a little too much…nothing wrong with ringing in the New Year with a few drinks, but we certainly do not want to see you behind the wheel. We LOVE our readers and, quite frankly, need everyone that we can keep, so if your group does not have a designated driver, or your designated driver decided to drink, please do yourself and the other drivers a favor and grab a taxi home – many bars will even pay your way home!

Theses apps generally only work in larger cities, but more and more of them are enlarging their outreach to include smaller cities and towns. What surprised me even more is the fact that MOST taxi apps support use in countries other than the U.S. One app will find your location via GPS and then gives you a listing of Cab services to call – not as sophisticated as some, but a great way to grab a cab wherever you are located.

10. Taxi Caller

9. Tap Your Taxi

Taxi Magic is “the world’s #1 taxi booking app,” according to their Play Store description.  The app appears very easy to use, straight forward, and nice looking graphics. It does have over 2,700 reviews and over 2,000 Google+s, with a lower than usual rating of 3.9, however those were written before its December 21 update.  What is nice about Taxi Magic is how many cities and countries that it covers…over 60 cities in the U.S. alone – and more being added, but also works in the U.K., Canada, and Mexico.  GRAB IT HERE from the Google Play Store.

5. cab4me taxi finder

cab4me taxi finder is a good all-around app for finding a taxi no matter where you are located, even in my little town of 3,000, it will list multiple cab companies for me to call.  It sports a brand new interface with better graphics for larger screens. It is not as fancy as some that let you see a picture of your driver, or plot their route to where you are – it is like a giant yellow pages for local taxis, and a real-time saver.  GRAB IT HERE from the Google Play Store.

4. Easy Taxi – Taxi via Mobile

Easy Taxi – Taxi via Mobile is very much the “usual” summoning of your taxi from your smartphone, but with this app you pay the driver, rather than with your credit card.  It also is only for when you are traveling in foreign lands, such as Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Chile, South Korea, etc., where safely getting a cab can be the utmost importance when you need to get around a strange country.  All cab drivers are registered and you can see their name and even a picture of them on your smartphone.  GRAB IT HERE from the Google Play Store.
