automatic music, no stop or volume button immediatly in line of sight, closed. I am sorry from that glance i gave it looked good but the music totally killed it for me.

Valid points. FWIW, you can click anywhere on the iPhone to pause the video (and music, for that matter). We should probably make this clearer.

This could be very useful, but it doesn't install on a 3GS because it requires a gyroscope? Seems a curious requirement given the functionality.

We didn't support 3GS because creating 2X the artwork would have been a lot of work for a relatively small % of iPhone users that will soon be upgrading to retina. Consider your comment a +1 for 3GS.

Cool, now if it could do a lattitude like thing and let you know where on the sidewalk they were, that would be epic.

Yeah totally, we were thinking of setting up a geo fence around the airport and automatically sending a text with their location or notifying the person being picked up that their ride has arrived.

That would be pure awesomeness.

I also have a 3GS and I find this response a little baffling. It can't be that much work for you to produce non-retina artwork, can it?

Looks great; downloaded it to give it a try. This app is a great concept, but it's going to be interesting to see whether I'll let myself trust it enough to be useful. If I end up double-checking behind it anyway, then there's no point.

Totally understand. If it's any comfort we put a lot of effort into making it reliable, including fallback services for push notifications and route information in case our data providers go down. We also play it safe and get you there with a little time to spare. Hopefully we'll win your trust after a few successful pickups.
