Yes, that's the same thing I felt when I saw the article. It seems like an app for the wrong time and place.
Now if they had something to reduce the cost of a taxi, like a group taxi app where you may have to book in advance but you pay 1/5th of the normal fare since you share the cab with other people, that may be somewhat interesting. Such services exist but not as an app, as far as I know.
