Review of Cabify


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

The worst!

We generally visit Spain for a couple of months at a time, a couple of times a year and have spent time in all the large cities. So, we have a lot of experience. No ifs, no buts, Cabify Sevilla is the worst taxi app we have ever experienced in Spain. Actually, to be accurate, there's not much wrong with the app itself, just what happens when you use (or try to use) it. If your taxi actually arrives And actually takes you to the location you requested, you should immediately rush out and buy a lottery ticket, because days that lucky only happen once in a lifetime!

Review of Wise


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

No longer provide payment confirmations

As of version V9.16.1 of the Wise app, the facility to request a payment confirmation has been removed. The instructions are still on the Wise site, but no longer work. Contacting Wise support, (after they have provided you again with the instructions you already told them don't work) they eventually confirm that "Wise can't provide payment confirmations". Obviously, that is a bad use of language, because Wise clearly "can", but what they mean is that Wise "won't". I've solved the problem in a few key strokes - I moved all the transactions for which I previously used Wise to Revolut. Job done. A real shame as I've been a huge fan and user since the early days back in 2011, when they revolutionised FX transfers!

Review of Spartoo.pt


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Zero contactability, Poor tracking, Late

Spartoo "tracking" system still saying the item will be delivered 3 days ago. The Mondial tracking system (only available in French) which if you are lucky, you might spot the link for int the corner of the Spartoo page, didn't initially work, because Spartoo had provided post code in wrong format. When it did work it didn't say anything until after the date forecast by Spartoo for delivery - presumably because Spartoo hadn't actually shipped, in spite of what their "Tracking" page said. The order wasn't urgent and finally did arrive, but probably the worst shortfall is that there is absolutely no way of contacting Spartoo - unless you want to phone them. I don't want to phone them and spend my life listening to voice response in god knows which language, and this being the 21st century I doubt anyone else does either. I do seem to remember Spartoo being much slicker than this, but perhaps I'm confusing them with one of the other companies that do exactly the same thing. I'll be using one of those and not Spartoo in the future.
