New features on Uber app

Posted on: 26/Nov/2016 2:35:09 PM
Online cab aggregator Uber has brought out new features in its app. These features include shortcuts, calendar integration, and people search.

Speaking about this, an Uber spokeperson said, We rolled out this new app, built ground up globally, with a strong focus on improving on all these fronts. Uber’s new Destination first feature lets users choose the destination first as the app asks Where to? as soon as the cab-booking process is initiated. With shortcuts, the app learns from a frequent user’s routine and predicts the destinations. 

Uber’s Calendar integration, will allow riders to connect their calendar with the app which will mark the user’s appointments and meetings as shortcuts. We know that people use Uber to meet friends, whether it is at a concert or a night out. This means the rider’s destination is often a person. The feature will enable riders to set their destination to a person instead of a place for which the riders will have to sync their contacts with their app, type their name in the search bar. Once they have shared their location, the rider will get moving.
