I use the English version and it actually functions great. Search is good for location and destination. Text chat auto-translates between your English and the driver's Chinese so some communication is possible even if there are no teenagers around to speak to the driver on your behalf when he inevitably phones.
Ah. My version of WeChat is the non-China version. Is there a China version that comes in English and can use WeChat pay?
