I’ve been using MOIA for a while
the algorithm got really bad! I’ve been using MOIA for a while, but the last few rides have been a complete disappointment. The algorithm seems to have gotten much worse. The last three times I used it, I would have actually arrived faster taking public transport!
Even though I live in central Hamburg, I usually end up waiting 20–30 minutes for a ride — which makes no sense. I often take MOIA to go to the airport (only 15 minutes by taxi), but it’s become completely unreliable.
The route planning is just bizarre. On one trip, I literally left the airport to pick someone up — only to return to the airport 15 minutes later to drop another passenger off. It was late, I was tired, and I lost so much time. The routes often zigzag through tiny side streets instead of taking direct routes, wasting even more time.
To make things worse, the app gives you overly optimistic estimates (“driver arriving in 10 min” or “arrival in 25 min”), but delays keep piling up. What should be a smooth, eco-friendly option ends up being slow, unpredictable, and frustrating.
Save your money — take public transport or a regular taxi instead.
