You know it's funny though because I stopped using Uber with the most recent update that completely screwed up the UX. There's a billion variables that will go into which companies succeed and fail.
- cortesoft 10y agoWhat was the change that did it for you? I didn't notice that much different, at least in how i use it.
- tedajax 10y agoIt became very difficult to override the position of the pin after the GPS decided it just had to know where I was instead of me. Also the tracking you for 5 minutes after a ride is completely unforgivable.
- hsod 10y agoThey changed the UX, you now drag the pin after setting your general location and choosing your destination. I think this is because they want to suggest more efficient pickup locations instead of just wherever you happen to be standing. Felt a little weird at first but I'm already used to it.
- jackgolding 10y agoWhich is fair enough, but nearly every driver I've spoken with hates the pin and a reasonable percentage get lost unless you put a landmark in as the address.
- hsod 10y agoWeird, I've literally never used a landmark and drop pins 100% of the time. I've been taking 2-6 Uber rides a week for about three years. I've never had a problem.
- jasonlotito 10y agoFor me, it was when they required to know my location even when I wasn't using them. Always? Really? Nope.
- Camillo 10y agoI stopped using Uber because it completely stopped working once I set location access to "only while in use".
- rajathagasthya 10y agoAFAIK, Uber doesn't even allow to set location access to "while in use". It's either "always" or "never".
- DINKDINK 10y agoFor the latest version, those are the only two location-services options.
- homakov 10y agoI confirm, only those 2 options in iOS
- marssaxman 10y agoHow does that work? Is it an iOS specific thing? I haven't launched the Uber app in a while and use Lyft instead - but I just turn location services on when I want to use it and off again afterward. How does the app get any say in the matter?
- Camillo 10y agoThat may have changed with a recent update. I'm pretty sure I set it to "only when in use", but the app updated soon after. Now I went back to check, and it got set to "never". Why does Apple even allow apps to remove the "only when in use" option?
