Description
Are you heading to Shanghai? Do you plan to use the taxi? Do you want to get your destination on time and pay the proper fare or do you want to "get taken for a ride?" Do you speak Mandarin Chinese? How about Shanghainese? There are certain taxis in Shanghai that will refuse your destination because the driver wants a bigger fare, and there are others that cannot refuse you. Can you recognize the difference?
Don't panic! You can rely on us to help you have a smooth trip to Shanghai. With our helpful guide written by seasoned Shanghai natives and expats you will be riding the taxis like the locals.
-This application calculates a reasonable fare you should pay based on the time of day and the distance you are traveling. Perhaps you do not know the distance! We have you covered!
-This application also finds your current location and calculates the distance you will need to go. The distance to frequently traveled areas in the city are included to help you gauge the cost you should be paying.
-Additionally a section of this application helps you communicate with the locals by translating destinations into Chinese for you to show the taxi driver. These are common tourist destinations, as well as subway stations. Traveling by the subway is cheaper yet less convenient than taxis. If you are very budget minded you can use this application help you take the taxi to a subway station.
-A travel tip section gives advice from locals such as: tourist destinations, which taxi to look for, which ones to avoid, and local etiquette.

Great Deal
I saw another app like this for $9.99. My coworker had that app and it did the same thing as this one, only he paid 10 times more, and I have more money now to spend on drinks! Hats off to this application.
Much Needed App!
This one saved my hide, (once again). Last time I flew in, the cab driver took me on a long drive through the city. The first 2 times I did that ride it was 100yuan, then I got in the cab and it was a 2 hour ride and cost 200yuan. This time I knew exactly how much I should pay. This app has been helpful for me getting around without any Chinese skills.
