The "features" on the app has progressively gotten worse as they continue to "update" it. Restricting drivers to use the Lyft version of maps is horrendous. Telling us to make illegal turns, driving on restricted roads, and recently gave directions to a destination that would take over an hour more, rather than a more direct route, because it was 10 miles less. The passenger and I got a good laugh out of that, especially since time was a huge factor. Let us use Google again! In a 750k population

Since the latest update, I've had numerous issues. The GPS was never the greatest, and now seems to go haywire during a lot of rides. Sometimes it gives a completely wrong location. Driver mode keeps toggling to the off position without warning or notification, so I'm offline when I think I'm online. Tried to request support, it's very difficult to reach and when I finally did, it's someone cutting and pasting (unhelpful) instructions I'd already read on their website.

This is by far the SHADIEST company ever. I've been driving for about a year and all I can say is that, when you get good rides, the app is working perfectly fine, you will love it. But the moment you have an issue, big or small- you better have great luck because there is no way to call driver support. The only way is to use the app and they will email you and take a generation to resolve your issue. I've had issues with fares being wrong, not being paid for toll, app freezes etc. Drive Uber.
