Good for Uber, but I'm disappointed as a customer. I did extensive travel overseas in Qatar and the Careem app was excellent. They had a clear local strategy with local customization to capture users. For example
- [Local flavor] Using a button called "Yallah" instead of "Go"
- [Local Knowledge] Pre-coding airport pickup locations (unlike Uber which had you try and figure it out directly with drivers, who often did not speak English.)
- [Local Knowledge] Understanding that many parts of the world do not have street addresses!
- plumeria 8y agoIt would be great if Uber accepted plus codes (https://plus.codes/ https://plus.codes/) when setting a destination.
- kinkrtyavimoodh 8y ago> Pre-coding airport pickup locations. Uber does this in many countries. Perhaps not yet in Qatar.
- aorth 8y agoIn Jordan the Uber cars I've used are always cleaner than Careems. The Careem app also used to send me annoying notifications about deals.
