Bad app, bad company
The Uber app gives you the option to have location tracking either always or never. They claim its to enhance the user experience by monitoring you for 5 minutes after a ride. Not only is that creepy, if you give Uber location permission, its all the time, it doesnt have to shut off after 5 minutes. Uber makes the app almost unusable if you select the option for never. Every time you open the app there is a nag screen asking you to enable location services. This pop up blocks you from being able to rate your drivers after a ride or from being able to accept ride split requests from others. Even if you have location services enabled, the map will place you in a completely different location and then they charge you when youre picked up at your real location rather than at the erroneous location they selected in their app. Drivers will cancel on you if they dont like your drop off location or drive away from you to force you to cancel. When this happens you get charged. Customer support, or rather lack of support, will reply with cookie cutter responses that dont address any real problems or concerns and they refuse to give refunds, only credits, even if you shouldnt have been charged in the first place. What good is a credit if I dont want to use Uber again. On top of all of this, there are multiple allegations of harassment internally at Uber, and allegations of assault by drivers.
You would be wise to avoid using Uber!
