Uber - Driver: Drive & Deliver 4+

App has been a great filler for a part time job, and allows you to make money that is suitable for you. There are some bugs though, such as the acceptance feature of matching the driver to a delivery and duplicate deliveries. I had an order to pick up for an estimated 42 dollars, so naturally I was intrigued to see such a high delivery. It turned out that once arriving to the restaurant and waiting for the order almost 10 minutes, I was told that the order was already picked up by someone . This made me feel like I was cheated out of the order. In result, uber support gave me a 3 dollar incentive for my “patience and wait time”. I understand that I did not complete the pick up ,however, there should be higher accountability on their behalf for falsely matching me to an order that was already in progress of being delivered. I know the tip on the order was at least 33 dollars due to the short total of 10 miles. I am a new driver less than two weeks in on uber and I feel that as a new “employee” I was neglected. This is an amazing app if you want to boost your earnings without compromising full time work schedule. I’m glad they constantly update the app to improve the map quality and driver experience. I just wish my time and anticipation was worth more than 3 dollars …
Try it out with a reliable vehicle that you don’t mind driving for hours at a time or racking up miles. Once you gain a decent strategy and stick to it you’ll definitely see more good results.

I’ve been using this app for about a year now, and I think that it is a good app, overall. I have tried using competing apps, but I kept coming back to this one. I feel like the app is very user friendly and has an easy to learn set up. I have been using this app as my primary source of income for the past 6 months and have been able to pay my rent and bills this way. I think it is a good way to earn money fast. There reason for 4 stars is because I think there are some things that need work. Firstly, I think that the “busy” times are inaccurate. I have been in an area during the “busy” hours and didn’t get any offers for an order for over an hour. I think that a feature like this is very convenient for us using the app, but only if it is updated regularly and accurate. A second issue with the app is navigation. I feel like the navigation is inaccurate too often, making it hard to deliver orders. I think that it should be more regularly checked and updated. Lastly, I think that too many deals cost more to do (in gas) than I would make. I think that this is especially frustrating as a high level driver. I think that the offers need to be a bit better to make it worth my while to do them.

Overall, I think this is an easy way to make quick money and it is a pretty solid app. If the things mentioned were looked at and fixed, I think this app would be just about perfect!

I’ve noticed inconsistent opening and closing the app out. Also across the board it’s not the same in Diffrenet areas. For example Tulsa airport (in Oklahoma)waiting area is not the same as XNA airport in Northwest Arkansas. The Tulsa waiting lot in Tulsa is way more convient and up to date. It shows a weekly view of flights arriving in the area and the best times to try to earn by wait times. You could plan your whole week out using the Uber app if your a serious driver! I noticed that last week how behind times the XNA wait lot is compared to bigger cities. I feel like the drivers in this area should be able to experience that side of the app because there is very many serious driving in the XNA are. It’s also Bicyvle capitol of the world that sponsor big name gravel bike riders alongside RedBull. The airport is also undergoing big construction projects making our airport more efficient and to grow with other airlines.
We have the University of Arkansa 15 miles from the Rogers Bentonville area that provides good income on the weekends along with flights flying to over 20 prime locations in the nation. We have big SEC sports right in these mountains that we drive for along with elite Wal-Mart and Tyson executives that fly right into this area. It helps supplement incomes being able to drive for Uber and if I could make a better career out of it I would seriously consider. Maybe someone reads this and gets back with me on the “XNA update”
