The pullout menu currently says "v[object Object]" at the bottom right (and I'm pretty sure it did this a year ago as well). And I can make it consistently crash by opening the map settings panel and pressing the OK button. None of this stops me from renting a car (except maybe the map), but I don't think they understand that their mobile app is literally the first thing people look at when they hear about Evo, and if it's bad, many of them won't use it. Especially in Vancouver. Have you seen how many front-end developers there are in this city? A decent mobile app is worth a year's marketing budget for a service like this. On some level, I'm excited for them because it's nice that the local company has this opportunity to win hearts and minds, but they definitely need to figure some stuff out.

    I bailed from using Evo when their password reset form was indistinguishable from a phishing attack. I guess it's time to give it another try. I wonder how easy it'd be to reverse their API and make a mobile app less terrible than you describe. :P
