Current version is a mess
cocamojoe82
The current version of this app is a total mess. I used this back in January, and that trip isn’t showing in my history. Also, the search feature is way too narrow, requiring one to select a specific time for departure. If there are no trips at that particular time, then it tells you that there are no trips available, without showing other options for the same day. When I search in either the app of website, it tells me that there are no trips. However, I have received multiple emails (as many as 12, maybe more) telling me that there are now available trips. When I tap it to book, it opens first the app, and then my browser. When I click “book ride”, it tells me that it is not possible for me to book on the UK version of the website (I’m not even British; I had to select that to get the app in English. Because of this, I am unable to verify my passport ID, as it is not UK issued. This has ALWAYS been a design flaw of BlaBlaCar, ever since I first checked it out, several years ago), and that I most go to whichever language version the driver uses (one driver was Polish, another Russian). The problem is that I DON’T SPEAK EITHER POLISH OR RUSSIAN, AND GOING TO THEIR VERSION OF THE WEBSITE IS EXCLUSIVELY IN THESE LANGUAGES! Seriously, this used to be a great app, a great experience, and is still a great idea. However, whatever has happened since last I used this (January 2018) is a mess, and has resulted in an unusable waste. Seriously, was there recently a personnel shift in their offices or something? Oh, and to top it off, their customer service is virtually nonexistent.
Unreliable

I love the idea of the app and have used it with friends except it’s not something you can rely on. Tried to book three different blablacars and each were cancelled or the driver didn’t respond in time. This app is great if you aren’t counting on it and are flexible, but if you have time restraints or have no other back up plans i wouldn’t use it.
Отсутсвие выбора валюты за поездку
Алексей Минск
Нельзя выбрать другую валюту, кроме как рос. рубля. А ведь приложение даже не пересчитывает в другие валюты, хоть и работает в других странах.
Latest update shows no rides no matter the location
Pink Alligator
0 rides in every city on earth? It used to work great! Latest update made the app useless on my iphone 5s running ios 10.3.3

Serbia problems

Still no fix for search results from Serbia. You can try it, just set region. Everytime zero rides. When I change for example to Croatia then app is working, but currency is in HRK. Headache everytime, please fix it as soon as possible, BlaBla is great for ride sharing.
USA not available

If the app doesn’t support USA, don’t distribute it in the country.
STILL can’t change the language - UPDATED
Thomas_Canny
I downloaded the app while in France, but my phone’s settings are in English. Even so, the app insisted on French. I’m back in the US, and traveling in Mexico frequently, but I’m still stuck using French and Euros. I know enough French to get around, but I’d much prefer English or Spanish. That you refuse to allow a language or currency change in the app shows that you fail to reconcile the diversity of your clientele. Do better. UPDATE: after a reply from the developer, advising me to change my region to the UK (I live in the US), I’d like to ask: Do the developers understand that this is an app for travelers, and thus it might be a nice feature to be able to customize options such as language and currency? Who wants to change the settings of their entire phone just to customize one single application? I’m presently in Mexico, and would love to use the BlaBlaCar app to book a car. But when I use the app, my only options are French and Euros. So, I go to the website, change to Mexico and Pesos, and set up alerts for new trips. Then, I get emails about new trip in English, with Pounds as the currency? Nobody wants to have to do all these unnecessary currency conversions, and nobody wants to struggle through a language they barely speak, unless the goal is to learn that language. BlaBlaCar as a service is great, but there are a LOT of improvements that have to be made before this app can deserve 5 stars.
Many bugs
Ralphieralph97
First time I used it to go to Malaga. It took me several hours to purchase the ride because of an error of processing my card that has more than enough money on it. Later I tried to go to Valencia and I was never able to purchase a ride. It kept coming up with error messages. I used 4 different cards and even used one of my friend’s cards and it was the same. I deleted the app and tried to get it back and log in and it told me to try another way of logging in even though my password was correct. The idea of the app is great and the one time I used it was fine but there are many bugs on the daily
