The Uber app is getting its most major update since 2012, bringing a radical redesign focusing on maximizing the usefulness of the Uber Feed.
The changes are only for users, not drivers, and aim to deliver a cleaner, decluttered interface that would reduce, if not eliminate, confusion regarding which service to request. At the same time, the redesign also brings shortcut options for frequent destinations.
"Since our last redesign in 2012, our app has become complicated and harder to navigate," Uber explains. "To recapture the clean and simple aesthetic of the original Uber experience — without sacrificing the choice our riders now expect — we rebuilt a faster, smarter rider app completely from the ground up."
The redesign should make all information more easily accessible, organizing everything around a basic question: "Where to?"
