What was the change that did it for you? I didn't notice that much different, at least in how i use it.


It became very difficult to override the position of the pin after the GPS decided it just had to know where I was instead of me.

Also the tracking you for 5 minutes after a ride is completely unforgivable.


They changed the UX, you now drag the pin after setting your general location and choosing your destination. I think this is because they want to suggest more efficient pickup locations instead of just wherever you happen to be standing. Felt a little weird at first but I'm already used to it.


Which is fair enough, but nearly every driver I've spoken with hates the pin and a reasonable percentage get lost unless you put a landmark in as the address.


Weird, I've literally never used a landmark and drop pins 100% of the time. I've been taking 2-6 Uber rides a week for about three years. I've never had a problem.


For me, it was when they required to know my location even when I wasn't using them. Always? Really? Nope.
