How to Build Uber like Apps On Demand

Uber set the trend for commuters by giving them a ride that a personal car gave them, with all the comforts and luxury, not to forget the convenience too. In fact, it gave commuters one extra thing, a stress-free ride where they would just sit back and relax on the ride whilst a driver sped them to their destination. Not only that, it also took away the worries of car ownership, parking space and charge issues as well as car maintenance issues from the car owners. That is why many entrepreneurs and enterprises are looking to get uber like apps and either uses them for their own start-ups or sell them onwards to other taxi and transport companies across the world who are looking to modernise their existing business. 

Looking to build an uber clone app?

If you fall in either of the above categories and are looking to develop your own uber like app, then it is important for you to note some of the main features for which Uber is recognised for and why it is the most successful taxi business in the world today. 

You also need to look for an app developer if you do not know how to design one. Apps like Uber come as a set of three, two apps and an admin dashboard. The two apps are for the driver and the passenger respectively. The passenger app allows the passenger to search for and book a cab, whilst the driver app allows drivers to accept the ride booking. 

Features of the passenger app

• Pick up location can be marked using the GPS feature
• Once booked, a cab can be tracked in real time
• Get an estimated fare for the ride
• Facility to text or call the driver
• Rate the driver and review the ride
• Automated payment system, including an option to split fares with other riders

• Facility to accept or decline ride requests
• Facility to view all cab requests
• Google navigation, allowing easy navigation during the ride
• Ride history
• Rate and review the ride

Both the apps have other common features like secure logging in facility, in-app messenger, push notifications and profile editing.

Features of the Admin Panel 

The admin panel is the heart of the system. It allows operators to manage the riders and the drivers.

• Facility to register new drivers and/or taxis
• Manage all the registered drivers and riders
• Provides summary reports and ride statistics
• Manages all the finances and logistics

Customize your app to your specification

Now that you have an idea of what the whole package involves, it is easier to get a developer to design the app for you. All you need to do is tell the developer how you want your app to work for your business such that it brings you maximum returns. You can ask for customizations like a language and currency of the country you want to launch the app in.

Uber like apps is the future of the taxi business. This technology is here to stay and it is easier to invest in it and launch your own app now rather than later when there will be much more like you in the market.
