So here's my take on Lyft. I've tried a bunch of ride-sharing apps and this one's pretty solid overall. The interface is simple and easy to use, which I appreciate. And the variety of ride options is great - whether you need an economy ride or something more luxurious. Not gonna lie though, the prices can be a little steep at times, especially during peak hours. And the wait times aren't always the fastest. But for the most part, Lyft gets the job done reliably. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a convenient way to get around town.

Description

Been using Lyft for a couple months now. It’s basically a ride-sharing app that lets you call a car, bike, or scooter to get where you need to go. Pretty solid if you’re into that kinda thing.

Here’s what you do – just enter your destination, and the app shows you the route and estimated cost up front. You can choose from different options like their ‘Wait & Save’ which is cheaper, or ‘Priority Pickup’ to get going quick. It’s got a bunch of other choices too like Lyft XL, Lux, and even rentals. Took me a while to figure all that out but it’s pretty useful.

Look, if you need to get around town without driving yourself, Lyft is worth checking out. It’s not perfect – the prices can be a little high sometimes – but overall it does the job. Definitely better than trying to find a taxi.

Lyft just did it to me again - showed me a lower price, but then charged me extra after the fact. This is illegal bc it's considered fraud. Bye Lyft....

The UX is terrible. If I've already saved addresses in my list then it shouldn't have to run a query to search for the list every time. The list should...

Lyft app doesn't provide an audible (jingle) notification when driver has arrived anymore. Can't tell you how many times I almost missed my ride after they showed up and waited...
