Hold on now. Hailo was amazing. Pity they broke themselves trying to take on the big apple.

Really? On par with Uber? Because that's the goalpost that's been set, here.

Hailo was often fully booked when I tried using it, and I had several previous-day reservations evaporate into thin air. It wasn't (as) reliable.

London taxis have always been slightly better than the FR/ES/BG/IT taxis I've taken, but not that much better. And the apps have either gone bust, not worked, or both.

Yeah Hailo worked flawlessly for me here in Dublin. Right up until they started to flail commercially.
