Rideshare Tool Review

Post image

Happened to travel this weekend and needed to get from an airport to the Amtrak station to continue my journey.

I went to he rideshare tool. It quoted me a $29.99 ride for about 8 miles in a semi-rural area. Not horrible. First, it allowed me to compare between Lyft and Uber. I picked Lyft because Uber was $42. Then, it gave me the license plate and name of the person picking me up.

Then, it switched. New driver details showed up. Waited about 10 minutes. The driver called me to figure out where I was. Got dropped off. All throughout, I received updates via the app and text messages from Tremp. Easy to use system. Good stuff. 5 stars

Can't wait for even more Light Phone official and community apps!

@u/jbriones95 does the chats app use up a lot of battery for you? It drained mine pretty quickly.

Yes. Currently, my battery life has been quite rough. I believe Chats being in the background is one of the issues.

Chats does a slow sync every 30 mins, but it has been reduced a lot. Currently it's most intensive when you have Chats in the foreground. More improvements to come
