These fake reviews are ridiculous. Ubers policy doesnt allow tipping, never did. I have a 4.82 rating with no tipping. I dont use Lyft because they allow tipping (which is inconvenient), and spam you with marketing notifications. Location tracking "even when youre not using the app" is to help insure youre picked up and dropped off properly, which is clearly explained when you turn it on (to extend the tracking a few minutes beyond your pick up or drop off, it needs this permission from iOS). I hate the lack of release notes, so Id rate it one star for that except that I feel the need to counteract the other reviews, and I do use and like the service. So, Uber, include release notes so your apps ratings can go up, because people that actually use your app and leave reviews also read the release notes. No release notes means we wont leave a review so youll just get the crap reviews youve been getting.
