Hello
This Curb app shows up when I do a search in the App Store, but several reviews
mention that it does not work in Canada.

Yes, the Curb app aggregates multiple local companies.

Hello Joshua,
Wow! That guitar sounds fabulous.
As for the lack of Lyft and Uber in your area, you may want to download an iOS
app called Curb, the Taxi app.
Essentially, it serves the same purpose as Uber and Lyft but serves local taxi
companies such as Yellow Cab.

You missed some of my points. The good thing about apps like Be my Eyes is
that you can use them when you want and not when a sighted person has the
time to help. I live alone and am totally blind so this is important to me.
And yes I can call a taxi whenever I wish but they are not going to

I was the one who swore I didn't want an IPhone no matter what. That was when
the 4S had just come out. I have had a 7 for the last 2-1/2 years so that in
