Web/Mobile App Critique



Ride-hailing applications like Uber have become an integral part of our everyday lives in today's fast-paced, time-constrained environment. I can vouch for Uber's convenience and usability as a frequent traveler. I'll talk about the usability, design, and functioning of the Uber app in this review, as well as several areas where it may be improved.
Usability-With a straightforward layout that is simple to use for consumers of all ages and technological backgrounds, the Uber app is very user-friendly. From the home screen of the app, customers may select their pick-up and drop-off locations as well as the sort of trip they want. The app gives information on the driver and the anticipated arrival time once the journey has been confirmed. Uber's overall usability is excellent and makes traveling from point A to point B simple.
Design-With an eye-pleasing color scheme and a sleek and contemporary design, the Uber app is simple to use. Users can watch their driver's progress and view their location in real-time using the app's built-in feature, which makes scheduling a pickup easy. Users won't feel overwhelmed by the app's use thanks to the design's clarity and simplicity.


Functionality -Uber has great functionality, and its drivers can easily find passengers because to its dependable and effective GPS technology. In order to maintain a high quality of service, the app also allows users to review their driver after the trip. Also, the app's integration with Google Maps makes it simple for drivers to find the user's position and get where they want to go.

Improvements - Uber's app has many great features, but there are a few areas where it might be improved. Three recommendations for these improvements are as follows:

  • Some customers have reported GPS troubles using the app, which have complicated pickup locations. Even when I do this, I still wait too long, and even though the driver was close by when I checked the app, there was no Uber driver on the road when I looked out.
  • As some users have complained about unexpected charges, the app could be more transparent about its price system. If you're planning a vacation to the Philippines, I advise taking a taxi or using grab because I'm aware that they haven't corrected this since I left and the nation has banned uber. You might also consider renting a hotel online before you go because certain hotels, like Resort World Manila, provide free bus rides when you stay there.
  • Since not everyone has a bank account or credit card, Uber should consider adding a feature that allows users to pay with cash.
