Avoid update - serious issues with current version.

Sadly, this new version of the Uber app has a serious issue where it pretty much wants you to give it rights to your exact location ALL the time - not only when youre taking a ride, but also while you sleep, while youre at work, while youre driving your own car - literally ALWAYS.

All-the-time GPS drains batteries, and I dont want to give Uber the right to sniff my every move every minute of the day. This is just stupid of Uber.

I suggest you try some of excellent alternatives that dont abuse personal information. Most of the same exact drivers work for the alternatives too, but without the troubling personal privacy practices offered by Uber. And most alternatives, I have learned, are less expensive. We all win!

Original Review:
Since the app and service are tightly coupled, my review is for both.

Overall, very good. Generally better than a cab. I have had one problem driver - crazy guy - but likely no less crazy than some cab drivers I have had.

App could be easier to use, but it is quite good.
