HUH!?!
The matching algorithm is uncomprehensible. This holds true regardless of using the application or the web site. Put a ride in and got 5 matches. Three were with people who had the same start and end point i.e. they weren't actually going anywhere and the other two were with people who after they picked me up from my start point would have had to go back towards their start point (opposite direction from where they were headed) in order to drop me off at my destination. What's the sense in that. Also the trip distance (from start to end point) for my rides I matched up with always shows 3.16km. This is true for those who have identical start and end point as well as those who actually have different start and end points.

Didn't work for me. Couldn't make it past the login screen. Is this app phishing for FB info?? Seemed like a good concept tho...
