With the redesigned homescreen, the company said the new
Uber app makes it way easier to book rides, taking into account the most
preferred destinations and products for each rider.
The redesigned homescreen, more personalisation and a new
way of tracking rides are some of the features added to the redesigned app.
The company in a statement said the homescreen has been
simplified to help riders book trips more easily, with fewer taps, right from
the get-go. The new app also features a 'Services' tab as a one-stop shop to
find all product offerings available to riders in their city - from a nearby
Moto to Auto, Intercity, Rentals, Reserve, Connect and more. The new 'Activity
Hub' helps keep track of the past and upcoming rides all in one place.
The company said the app will also share personalised
recommendations for ways to plan travel and save, based on how each rider uses
Uber. As an example, if a rider typically uses Uber Auto, it will likely be the
first option they see; and the app will also suggest other affordable options.
With Live Activities on the lock screen, the company said
riders can easily track the live progress of their ride and receive critical
updates like vehicle details, the latest estimated time of arrival (ETA)
information, and trip status -- on the lock screen without opening the app.
This feature is being rolled out for iOS devices, and will
be available on Android devices soon.
Riders will need to ensure their device is up to date with
the latest available software, it said.
Nitish Bhushan, Director for Central Operations, Uber India
and South Asia, said, "We have always worked to provide mobility with few
taps on the app for riders on the Uber platform. Seeing how fast-paced our
lives are getting, we understand the need to be able to navigate through apps
in seconds."
He said the company is introducing the redesigned Uber app to
help users more effortlessly navigate to ensure each rider sees an app designed
for their specific needs, with their frequented routes and preferred products
showing right at the top.
