We’re always on the lookout for great Apps at The Gadget Helpline, especially free ones that can help you out in daily life, and today’s suggestion is a must for any iPhone user who struggles to find a taxi.
Have you ever been out for drinks with your friends and struggled to find a taxi home? Or been at a celebration in the middle of nowhere, with no taxis in sight? Well, never again. Welcome to the newly launched Taxis app for iPhone.
Created by Manchester-based illuminApp; the company have come up with a clever free app that solves this very problem.
The App is available to download now from the Apple App Store and comes with an up-to-date database of 14,000 taxi companies across the UK.
Using your iPhone’s GPS the app will automatically pull up the taxi companies that are around you within a 3-mile radius, wherever you are in Wales, Ireland, Scotland or England.
The app has been designed to be quick, free and painless – upon opening the app you are asked if the app can use your location, once you click ‘yes’ a list is already presented with Taxi numbers in order of distance from your current location. Choose the taxi and you’re given a choice to call the Taxi company and book yourself a ride home.
Of course, if one taxi company is busy there are many others in the list, so there will never be a struggle to find a lift home again.
We’d recommend that if you have an iPhone you need this app in your life – we have no doubt that it will come to your rescue many times and with nothing to pay, what have you got to lose ?
You can download this handy app from the Apple App Store here.
