Surge - Surge Tracking for Uber

Edit In no way have I been compensated to write this review I was an unpaid betatester for this app and have been using it for the past few months Again I am not being compensated in any way In that time I have seen my Uber earnings rise by well over 50 I am making at least an additional 10hour of money in my pocket This app makes me as a parttime driver an additional 1000month I cant imagine driving without it Offline notification of surges in multiple locations is a gamechanger I can see what is going on without having to be logged in to the Partner app I run this app in the background all the time and I get consistent notification of surges in the areas that I have selected Of course you have to allow background monitoring for this to happen I let the notifications flow to my AppleWatch so I dont even have to monitor my phone when not online The dashboard gives a clear concise overview Colors tell you degree of surge This app is perfect for monitoring while driving A word about surge trends the place you think you should go ie the end of a ballgame is not always the best place I found through monitoring on the app that other zones surge higher and longer post game In addition data showing the surge visually helps you build an understanding of how a surge builds and declines The app updates much more often then Uber does I can jump onoff a surge faster then I ever could with just the partner app Get this app                 Game Changer

As with all these application there is a slight hesitation in response to a surge It be great if the price comes down a little bit on the application for the subscription for multiple points However it does give you opportunity when you are in a city or an area that has multiple sections at 5 to 10 locations for that it is worth the money              A better widget

Great app Notifications are fast and help both ends the users and drivers                 Great app for Uber drivers users

This app works great with the latest update                 Good tool

926 206pm this krAPP says NO SURGE yet Ive gotten 3 texts from Uber direct its 2x plus pricing on Strip Downtown Las Vegas because of Life Is Beautiful Festival Im DEMANDING my 499 back     WASTE OF TIME MONEY

Does absolutely nothing     Doesnt work

First of all the top review here is an obvious plant Second there is only one case where this is useful to me When I have a pax I know if surge has started or changed in my area I spent my 599 for the first month to try it I wont give them another dime Sell the app for a one time 99 and Ill buy it But no way am I giving them 50 a year        Eh

But why ON EARTH would I give this unknown app developer my Uber login details No thanks Maybe if it was a crowdsourced app like Waxe     Maybe Im missing something

Doesnt work Super buggy     Piece of garbage

before I go online I open this app first to see if the places am going to has a surge which really helps a lot I am happy with this app I hope they add at least 2 locations for free                 great app

I have seen at least two surges that never registered Who knows how many others I missed because I wasnt watching This app is useless if you still have to check manually A total waste I want my money back Dont be fooled     Has not worked even once

Robert in Seattles review is inconsistent with my experience with this app He also leaves out certain details As such Im inclined to suspect that his review was paid advertisement My experience Firstly receiving notifications of surges is by far the most important feature But you have to pay 499month you can save by buying bundled packages to receive notifications But worse I do not receive notifications consistentlyit is definitely buggy For the past few days I did not receive any notifications but just started getting them a few minutes ago I dont know what I did specifically to fix this bugit may be toggling background monitoring on and off that did the trick Regardless notifications is UNRELIABLE so feel ripped off for paying 499 to test this app August 20 edit Ive stopped receiving notifications again Additionally Im getting a different notification indicating that notifications will be killed and that I need to relaunch Surge Relaunching however doesnt resume notifications Historic data is only good for the last 5 hours So the claim that the app helps in identifying surge trends is absurd Unlike other competing surge apps this one also doesnt push notifications if the app is closed it must always be running in the background What do I do like The UI is concise it monitors for the beginning increasesdecreases and ending of surges of up to 10 locations and it checks for surges at subminute intervals Other competing surge apps lack some or all of these eg it checks for surges at longer intervals so will miss subminute surge rate increasesdecreases and doesnt tell you when a surge has ended        Lets be real here

Doesnt show anything even when theres a surge     Useless

Paid one does more This one needs to be in forground              I might need the paid version

Paid for a few months and its a really bad app The background monitoring is really useful but it wont stay on very long without launching the app     Buggy

After I purchased the monthly thing the app just crushed and and I cant open it there is no way this is a rip off     Rip off

Love the Today widget Helps me view Surge data quickly App is very well polished and contains both a simple mode for riders looking to keep a heads up on the Surge to a more advanced mode that allows tracking of historical Surge data which is useful for drivers                 Well Polished

Great                 Good

Works great                 Uber user

Only 2citys NOT ALERT OR NOTIFICATION WORK           NOT NOTIFICATION

paid version doesnt open     does not open

There is a ton of bugs that need to be fixed I had paid for the full membership and it only registered for 5 mins after that it only recognized basic membership I will up date my review after the the person who made this app unf themselves     It will rape you

Crashes every time I open it     Crash
