Top five apps to help Australians and visitors travel, get around, find places, and save money
4. goCatch
Cost: Free | Developer:Taxi Apps | Tested on:iOS | Version 2.4 | 8.8MB
A taxi app designed for both passengers and drivers. On first use, users select whether they are a passenger or driver, at which point the app takes you to its map.
The map contains pins of available drivers in the area. When tapped, users can see the driver’s rating and company.
To book a taxi, users must tap the ‘goCatch’ option at the bottom of the screen, at which point the app takes you to a booking screen to enter a few details, including destination, number of passengers, and contact number. Advanced bookings can also be made.
The app is still a fairly new concept, though, which means the majority of taxi drivers are not on board yet.
