TaxiFlasher

Isn’t funny how you can have so many taxi cabs around when you don’t need one and not a single one when you are in need. TaxiFlasher may not find you more taxi cabs out of thin air, but it can increase the chances of you being seen by the ones coming your way.

As the name suggests, TaxiFlasher helps you flash taxi drivers. It may not work too well during the day but can be a life saver at night. The default “Taxi” message, which flashes in yellow and black, should work for almost everyone. TaxiFlasher does give you the option to modify your message and its effects.

You can type your own message or use from the selection of flashing ones available in this app. It supports texts, symbols, and pictures. Multi-line text messages are supported too.

You do want to be careful when using some of the effects in this device. Some people can be sensitive to flashing lights and things of that nature. This app could lead thieves to you, especially if you are in a dangerous neighborhood. Other than that, it should increase your chances of getting a cab when you need one.
