go to the Feed Explanation: A Radical Redesign Makes 'Uber Feed' the Center of Your Ride The most interesting thing about Uber’s dramatically redesigned app isn’t the streamlined UI. It’s a brand new feature called Uber Feed. In the coming weeks, a major redesign of Uber's app will make its way to users around the world. If you’re one of them, you’ll probably like it; when Uber demoed the update for us yesterday morning, it was significantly faster, smarter, easier to navigate, and more upfront about things like cost and estimated travel time. All good things! But while increased speed, usability, and transparency are all welcome, the most intriguing upgrade to Uber’s app isn’t how much faster it loads, the way it learns from your routines, or how it scrapes your calendar for the address of your meeting across town. No---the most compelling thing about Uber’s reimagined app is a new feature the company calls Uber Feed. Historically, Uber has focused on getting you from point A to point B. Uber Feed fills the space between. “As soon as the driver starts the trip, the app experience transforms,” says product manager Yuhki Yamashita, who led the redesign. As your car pulls away from the curb, a scrollable feed of cards appears from the bottom of the screen, covering the old-school map of your trip in progress. Swiping up moves you through a stack of services Uber thinks you might find useful during your trip. Feeling peckish on your ride home from work? Swipe left on the UberEats card to see which restaurants can deliver to your house in sync with your arrival time. En route to a restaurant in the city? A Yelp card lets you side-swipe to browse photos and reviews of popular dishes. Running late? Relax: Right there in your Uber Feed is a Snapchat card with custom filters, including one that updates your neglected dinner date on your ETA. That’s the idea, at least. “Having a set of experiences and information that are catered to you while you’re in the car can make the trip better and make you more informed about your destination,” says Uber CEO Travis Kalanick. It’s like in-flight entertainment, but more useful. And on paper, it’s pretty compelling. For starters, it lets Uber reimagine the lamest part of the on-demand transportation experience: the car ride itself. “Nobody joyrides in an Uber,” says independent UX designer and user-onboarding guru Samuel Hulick. This is as true in real life as it is onscreen; the least-charming part of Uber's app has always been watching your car scoot across a map. (This is the cartographical equivalent of a progress bar, and shares many of that graphical element’s time-slowing properties.) “The car ride part of it is a means to an end, so getting a clear idea of the purpose of your customer’s trip, and how Uber can be more helpful toward that underlying purpose, beyond the transportation, makes a lot of sense,” Hulick says. Uber Feed puts that screen real estate to better use, turning a potentially mind-numbing experience into a productive one. Of course, you can already accomplish most of this, and much more, outside of the Uber app. If there's one thing smartphones have made humanity remarkably adept at, it's killing time. Whether it's Twitter or Instagram or Clash of Clans, most people already have their favorite ways to distract themselves in an Uber. So why Uber Feed at all? https://www.wired.com/2016/11/radical-redesign-makes-uber-fe... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 мин (2021-11-18 08:48:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Connect ahead of your ride with in-app chat Every great ride starts with the pickup, which is why in-app chat makes it easier than ever to get in touch with your driver before you even get in to the vehicle. To chat to your driver while he/she is en-route, simply go to the Uber feed and tap “contact” and then “chat.” Both you and your driver will see if your chat has been delivered and read, helping you to confirm receipt of the message. Grab the entire crew with Multiple Stops With Multiple Stops, you can add up to three stops to your journey. That way, you can hop in your Uber and then grab the crew – all in one car, all in one trip! To use the feature, tap “where to?” and then “+”. Add the addresses of your stops, and then request your ride. Should you need to make changes during your trip, you can also add and remove stops in real time. https://www.uber.com/en-GH/blog/your-guide-to-using-the-uber... |
