TaxihelpAsia is a simple App to help you get around a bunch of Asian cities where speaking English isn’t the easiest way to get your message across.
It’s perfect for travelers, expats, aircrews and business people. TaxihelpAsia DOES NOT NEED AN INTERNET CONNECTION. All the cities and destinations, including hotels, airports, restaurants and attractions, are stored in your phones memory.
Have an emergency? Try search for ‘Nearest’… hospital, pharmacy, wine shop, train station, bus stop, and other services like the police station or dentist etc.
If it helps you just once it’ll be worth giving this App a go- it’ll save you time and frustration. TaxihelpAsia can also help your kids get to school and around a new and big city with safety.
How does it work?
Use the flashing Taxi function to gain the attention of a taxi and flag it down.
Select your city, search for you destination and then show the driver where to go in their local language.
Alternatively, select “How you say it…” and try speaking to the driver in his own language. And dont forget to thank him/her if they get you to the right spot!
Only names are provided within the App, no addresses, and not every driver is going to know every destination. But if they’re from the area they’ll have a good idea and if they don’t, they can always get on the radio to base and request directions. Either way, this App is going to help YOU out.
We know that not every destination is in our database so we’d like your help in making it better. If you want us to add a destination to a city let us know. Maybe you’re even heading to one of our listed cities on holiday and already know where you want to go. If your attractions aren’t in our lists then let us know and we’ll add it in upon our next update. Just email the address located on the instruction page.
