Instago App-the best way to go

Brief:

Worried about shuffling through various taxi apps to find the nearest one? Or the cheapest one? Use Instago, an app that lets you see the closest available cabs around you and compare based on Price and ETA.

How it works:

1. Set your Pickup Location or choose current location
2. See available cabs nearby
3. Click on ‘Go’ to see how much time will the nearest cab take
4. Want to compare by price? Enter a destination and get ETA and Price filters
5. Pick the taxi you want to travel by clicking on the brand
6. Instago will take you to the merchant app
7. Complete your booking and Go.

Want to book a ride for later? Enter Pickup and Drop details and get a price comparison of taxis. Click on the preferred option to call the taxi company and make your booking.

Story:

The idea struck me when I met the CEO of a top Indian Travel company and asked myself, why is no one aggregating taxis?

And then it hit me, we need to before anyone else does. So I went back to my team mates, who were then working on an online car reviews website and suggested the idea. We dropped everything, including a new GoPro (not literally) we had just bought to shoot videos and decided to focus our energies on this. It took months for us to get the team together and how to even attempt to build it. Luckily or unluckily, another app beat us to it. That made us realize that we weren’t foolish if we were thinking about this.

So last week, our iOS app got approved and it was a very proud moment for us. Three days later, another popular Indian aggregator launched its cab app which does the same thing. Initially we felt disappointed, but later realized this was market validation, for the second time.

Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of Team Instago I present to you our app-Instago: the best way to go which can be downloaded from here:

The app is far from perfect, hence we would appreciate your feedback on the same. We are grateful to this community for allowing us to demo at the Delhi Rodinhoods meet up and we hope to stay in touch more regularly about our progress.
