App REVIEWS
Good idea. Removing the gathering function was a bad move. That was the best part and great idea to encourage groups of people to download. Being able to add rides as needed and monitor someone on transport was much better. Bring it back and get traffic updates will earn 5*

Hi Jamie! Gatherings are now replaced with “Groups” – so that you could coordinate & share rides within groups you'd like to be in. If you are offering/requesting a ride, you are also able to see where others are in relation to you. In case you have any other feature requests, reach out to us at mobility.apps.support@here.com!

Just started using it, seems fine. Is there a way to have trip repeated daily? Update: Time not accurate and doesn't seem to update with traffic. Also drains the battery.
Works smooth. Better maplook than Google maps. Wish it had a way to avoid highways. I happen to enjoy driving through the streets of Chicago.

Thank you 😌 Have more smooth rides with SoMo! SoMo Support Team
Well, this is the worst navigation app of the major navigation apps. The maps are bad and outdated, the ETA is SO wrong that I don't think it's aware of traffic the narration sounds weird and I couldn't get it to carpool. I see no reason to touch it.

Hi! We would like to further investigate your case and improve SoMo. Please write us an email to mobility.apps.support@here.com. Thanks! SoMo Support Team
I've only used Somo a couple of times since I installed the app and it hasn't let me down, to be honest I haven't explored it's full potential yet, I would prefer the directions in yards and miles not meters and kilometers but It's not a big deal.
----------
Hi! It's already possible to have directions in yards and miles! Just go to Settings and select "US customary" in "units" options :D Have more questions? Please reach out to mobility.apps.support@here.com. And thanks for the 🌟 SoMo Support Team
unable to locate my booked ride, didn't received any confirmation. Got the notification of similar rider very late. in crux the app is not at all user friendly.

Please share your full experience with our Support Team via mobility.apps.support@here.com and we'll investigate this further! We apologize for the caused inconvenience 😥 SoMo Support Team
Still trying out but definitely what I had in mind to build for our church.... What about safety though, if I advertise a gathering publicly, how can we assure the safety of everyone involved, perhaps some kind of verification? Also just noticed that recurring events lack the daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly etc or simply choosing the days of the week and repeating that until a forever or a certain date...
----------
Happy you like SoMo 😃 When creating a public event, it will be visible to anyone on SoMo. Anyone can see details like the event description and relevant information. If you wish to have control over the attendees, we suggest you to create a private gathering and share the link with the trusted people. SoMo Support Team
Perhaps later versions would work better but at this point it only works if I choose car as a vehicle. Taxi section says there are taxis available in my area yet and once I choose a destination over 40km away (that would require 3 interchanges, it just keeps loading a public transport section but nothing shows up. EDIT: After review it loaded the public transport option as well. Still showed exactly the same that Google Maps would.

Hey 😉 We're constantly growing and adding new taxi companies! Stay tuned for more taxi options :) Btw, our 🗺 are 🔝 SoMo Support Team
Gatherings for work don't recur like I expected them to. I'm not setting up gatherings for each and every trip. Seems like a good idea though. Thanks but I've done that and it didn't recur, hence my review.
----------
Hi! With SoMo you can create repeated gathering to commute together with your colleagues! Just choose "Private" when creating a gathering 😉 Have more questions? Reach to us by emailing mobility.apps.support@here.com. Thanks and enjoy your SoMo rides! SoMo Support Team
Amazing app! It's not cluttered with options though you have the crucial ones. It works quite quickly and I hope all new good stuff to come soon.

Thanks, you're making us blush 😊 We're constantly growing and improving, so stay tuned for new features! SoMo Support Team
Has potential, but unlike in the app's ads on Facebook, there seem to be no support for bike rides navigation.
----------
Hi! Sorry to hear that your first experience with our app didn't go as expected 😭 SoMo is still growing and we're working on incorporating new features. Stay tuned for the updates! SoMo Support Team
For italy (Milan) it's s no. In the use of public transport does not consider the subway, it is not clear why. Also regarding the times of the public transpor rides they don't seem to be completely correct. Therefore surely to review the algorithm
Hi, I would like to automatically create a gathering as soon as I drive by car. Example: I drive and use the SoMo navigation. Automatically my trip becomes a gathering. I can then drive anyone who wants to go to the same place as me. SoMo can tell during my trip that Mrs X wants to go to the same place as me. Then as a driver I have the choice to accept or refuse. If I accept my itinerary is automatically updated to pick up Mrs X. Best regards.

Hi! Great idea, thanks🤩 We might have it in future releases, please stay tuned🚗 SoMo Support Team
The app has a great idea, but totally useless here in Sweden or at least for ny use. For the first I can't see any prices for public transport, there are no taxi services, I can place the maps offline from here and there are no public groups or gatherings. For this to be useful I would need to be able to see other car pools, like you can do with goMore. I would need to be able to download maps offline like in my here app. I would need to be able to see Public transport price and buy ticket.
I don't know about this app, man. It feels... forced? I totally get the idea of "social riding" but I just can't see any situation where I'd say "hey, let's use SoMo!" instead of just requesting an Uber or texting whoever I want to ride with. I was expecting more emphasis on the "Explore" part, perhaps something like a Badoo for travelers or so. Or maybe it just needs to grow on people for it to be actually useful. Three stars for the effort.
Updated: Please fix "Pending download..." in Play Store. It gets stuck and never downloads. Also the app is not usable because of the non dismissable popup dialog.One star just to show up. I may even like the app. The only thing that I'm missing is when I create a route and invite friends, I'm not able to add stops for each one of them. If I'm able to do it, they'll know where to wait, and I - where to drive. I would really love that!

The app just doesn't work. It doesn't load my location, although it has all the permissions. Also when zooming above the land, it fails to show city names. Like when I zoom out of the Netherlands, it shows ridiculous "city" names like Monster, Tinte, Edam, Hem... Instead of Haag, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, etc. I tried using it several times, but it just never works.
A great way to plan a trip together with friends. No more messing around with messaging apps to find out who is riding with whom and where to pick them up.
Amazing app, ride sharing works great, just used it and it was super intuitive and helpful! same goes to gathering which is so easy to create and manage.
Not an amazing app, buggy and less user friendly than other apps that do pretty much the same thing, City mapper is far better. The ride share features are kinda cool but nothing you cant do with Uber although uber appears to not be linked to this app.
