They had a Lynk guy on the Pat Kenny show this morning promoting how 'green' their fleet was. Just before he came on, Pat Kenny and his tech guru were talking about the name change to FreeNow. Neither of them could understand it and thought it was quite stupid. As Kenny tried to interview the Lynk guy, he kept harking back to the FreeNow name and how stupid it was. Almost felt sorry for the Lynk guy. Almost.

The on screen 5 min countdown after arrival seems to be gone on FN, is there a reaso?
Also not interested in using virtual q at dap, but curious where do you wait for a job " in the proximity of the airport" if leaving the airport area takes you off the q?
-
Keep driving around the roundabout......in electric mode only!!

I was going to ask the same about the timer.
As for the airport,it's just slightly outside the boundary of the airport.If you stray too far,it just kicks you off the queue.

As you arev their favourite driver can you get the to put back the timer?

If the timer is gone, it kinda fooks up counting it down to get the Scrub fee, unless you start looking at and using your car clock on every job. If there is no timer and no answer from Pax after 1 minute, then I'm gone ! I'm not waiting around and guessing at what 5 minutes might be.

Why do you ask DM ?
-
Lads if you haven't updated your app I'd wait until they iron out the bugs in the new one.The distance to job thing is fukked today and it's trying to send me jobs 10km away.
The new app isn't just a few new graphics, all the preference settings have been fukked around with.Reminds me of the time Hailo switched over to Mytaxi.

Will it still operate with the MT app or will you be prompted to update it or face execution?
-
I think there's a cut off date for the Mt app.Might just be mine acting up but I doubt it.
-
It offered me a job in Dunboyne,while I was in the city centre,with the app set on busy.

Any one know why I/we(?) got statements today advising/paying from 1st to 3rd of July when normally paying to midnight on each Sunday while rounding/closing off at the end of each month?
-
It could be as simple as they're changing their trading name this week and all the 'paper'/emails have to change as well to Freenow?

Tesco and Meteor now in cahoots to try and discredit the FreeNow App. OMG sabotage
-
I thought we only had one conspiracy theorist on here!! lol
-
Unlikely to be a network issue if it's able to offer you a job, assuming you're out and about with GPS location enabled. In fact, I don't think it will offer you work anymore if you disable GPS... although MfH may have found a workaround for that if memory serves.
-
I gave up on that one.Seemed like a lot of effort.Anytime I go onto the Airport virtual rank it takes about two laps of the airport to advance ten places.Couldnt be bothered when the rest if the city is busy.
-
Had to download the FreeNow app on my way up this evening....even though the app loaded..a pop up message was telling me to Cancel/Try again...it just wouldn't fuk off!!
-
I have worked the FN app the last few nights and I think it's grand, more or less the exact same as MT.
The one feature I did like was that they took the 'Automatic Follow-on' off the main screen because I have tipped it to 'On' once or twice by accident.
The new FN branding fer Ambassador cabs seems a lot neater than the old MT branding.
Be nice if'n they stuck with the pay twice weekly bit too !
Be even nicer if'n they threw a birra 'Bobo' our way !!
-
Haven't tried it yet, might go in tonight if the rain stops.

It's hopping out there now in town if yis can face it.

Fuck off. I'm not long back from driving the younger not so young lad over to Longitude, crash on the M50 between Junctions 9 and 7 northbound. As the Dublin lads will know there is no Junction 8.
-
Yesterday I came home early with 50 quid had a power nap then did a few more hours.Worked out much better.Didnt even scream at anyone once.I'm struggling to stay out in the warmer weather lately myself.
-
Yeah...calm down MFH.....it's a marathon....not a 100m dash!!
-
Indeed. Great weather for watching the cricket from the back yard.... except today, it's raining right now in the beautiful seaside resort town of Balbriggan.

Today was my first day working this week. And with the new FN app.
The map on the new app seems to be better, more legible.
If your taxi/arrow goes off-centre, there doesn't seem to be a 're-centre' button. It used to be in the bottom-right corner of the screen. Anyone know how to 're-centre' your taxi on the maps?
I seen a few ad posters in bus shelters saying 'Third time lucky'. I laughed so much, it nearly hurt :P
-
To get the recentre button back,you need to log out the MN back in.

No issue with that down here in Cork.
What I have noticed is that on some jobs the Blue line does not show, thankfully the Two jobs that it did happen to me on had addresses that I recognized (as in not street numbers or post codes)and I was able to see your mans icon as I approached.

They do seem to be able to take de piss outta themselves !
I've heard a few radio ads on 4FM and seen a few witty bus shelter ads.
