    Reminds me of a good working quite successful Taxi-App called „myTaxi“ which was rebranded to „FreeNow“ and everybody was „wtf“? Never used it since then.

    In the AppStore the App is still called „FREENOW (ex mytaxi)“.

    🤷‍♂️

    If you don’t have other problems, you still can give up your successful, well known brand.

      I wonder how well the app is doing today. Is it just a zombie that hasn’t been deleted from the App Store? Or did they rebuild after rebranding?

        It was the go-to app to use where I was 2 months ago in Ireland. I thought “Wow, what a terrible name”, and expected the app to be much worse than it was.

      I have a parking app (that lets you pay by adding your vehicle’s license plate) that rebranded from “parkmobile” to “easypark” so now instead of looking for “P” for “parking” you have to remember to look for “e”… Mind you it infuriated me so much, I do remember…
