★★★★★Oct 25, 2026

difference in usage for tourists causes confusion

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026

Great ride experience but tourist trap. Uber was 1/3 less on 2 rides.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

Garbage app resets all my inputs whenever I switch between apps for a second. It barely works well enough to let me enter the pickup and destination address, and then it deletes it. Makes me want to throw my phone against the wall and get a regular taxi instead.

★★★★★Oct 18, 2026

too many uncessary login and permission, doesn't allow checking prices unless card is already imputed.

★★★★★Oct 16, 2026

infaltable, muy útil, hace tu viaje a Korea mas fácil

★★★★★Oct 13, 2026

OK for US travelers, but more expensive than Uber. This is super easy and convenient to use with your home/native country's credit card, unlike KakaoTaxi and regular taxis. The K Ride app also has much better/accurate mapping than Uber, though. It is the foreigner's option to KakaoTaxi for Korean residents. Refilling Tmoney cards with Korean currency (bills only, no coins) was kind of a pain so this was the next thing to try. was pretty decent.
