You must have some pretty poor apps - my local one doesn't even need an app.

In the UK when I call my normal cab company it knows where my phone is and asks you to press 1 to book a cab to my location - I then get a SMS confirming the booking another when the cab is dispatched and one when it arrives

I have never used an app to call a taxi. I used taxis for decades, and when Uber came out it was such a night and day difference that I have taken exactly one taxi in the last five years, when my phone battery was dead.
