In a recent trip to Rome, I tried using FreeNow which I had used many times in the past. My success rate of actually getting a ride was 0 out of 7. By which time I gave up. I was more successful with Uber. I was able to get about 12 rides in.

I think with the Jubilee many drivers just switched to Uber.

I also took rides in official taxis. They all wanted to negotiate the fare, refused to run the meter, and absolutely refused to take credit cards.
