interms of timing great. finding the exact way and not willing to go far a bit outside of the main road. I show them my exact location through google map. they are nit interested at all to hear me. I was new to ride and they disappointed me.

This app does phishing attack on your telebirr account. Here is how: When you order food and choose the telebirr option, it takes you to a page prompting you to login to your telebirr account. It requires to have your telebirr PIN code. There is no need to login to your telebirr account outside the telebirr app for payments. Please be aware and stop using this app!

Recently when an order was accepted one saw only the ordered ride. That has changed. Now one sees all cars nearby and can't tell the ordered car to estimate distance. Please fix this as its so frustrating.
