Reviews for Lyft Driver

Still has quirks. Brings me close most of the time but still puts me in alleys instead of on the street once in a while. Also has limited construction updates or traffic jam info which would help a bumch. Update: seems to be getting worse. GPS is possessed. Goes berserk during trips. Sometimes i have to pull over and wait for it to settle down. Can't seem to find the direction i'm going.

For several weeks now the app has not been working correctly. There is a delay in ride count and earnings. The navigation system is failing to load. The line rides are not loading pickup locations. The app automatically switches you to a different passenger than the one you select which is terribly inconvenient in vegas. The price of rides has not gone up to match the price of gas, fees, and AC usage. Day driving isn't worth it.

Riders are cancelling because they are not getting an accurate GPS location of my progress to pick them up. I am not getting notifications of the cancellation leading to my wasting gas. I have had several riders say "it was showing you 20 minutes away" when I was right outside. Additionally, I get logged out if I have not been assigned a ride in 5 minutes. This is not cool. Please fix!!!!! PLEASE let us be able to see how many other drivers are out, so we know competition for rides.

Lyft is not as busy as Uber. So, it should pay better. Instead of lowering the prices on priority mode, keep prices the same. The Lyft airport queue keeps throwing us to the back of the line or off the queue because the app thinks we're outside of the staging lot. When I haven't moved anywhere. And the app is slow with getting trips. I'm tired of this. The app wastes hours in our day often. I lose time and money because of it. And I'm not paid for it. Finding other work, this isn't working.

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.

I just started driving with Lyft and the app is so frustrating. It lags in every possible way, causing me to be unable to accept rides, GPS lags and/or just dissappears, phone calls connect, but neither the driver nor the rider can hear anything making it impossible to find your rider when the map is just black and you can't hear what they are saying to you or read a message they sent because the app won't move. The map changes orientation at random. It should not be this difficult!!!

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.

Overall, this app is ok. I give 3 stars because the LYFT Driver GPS navigation is very unreasonable sometimes. There are a lot of better routes that you can sometimes take, and it takes a minute for gps to re-calculate. Another reason for 3 stars is that when you want to speak to a live human being agent (and not chat with them), you have the hardest time doing so, unless it's an emergency situation. Other than that, the app works well offline or online.

The App doesn't work well with Android Auto. It doesn't mirror the phone app to Android Auto well at all. I'm back and forth from the phone to my vehicle screen. Most of the time it loses sounds and I have to make the trips with vision only. Then it decides to come back in a few trips later. It needs improving badly! I don't have this problem with other platforms.

This app is horrible. Nearly everytime I get a ride and accept it, it goes away and I get a message that says "Match in Progress" and then the "ride is no longer available". Not only that, whoever is creating the GPS directions, needs to be fired. These directions are horrible. They take you through way too many unnecessary turns and also takes you out the the way of the pickup and/drop off. It's like it's intentionally causing you to drive extra miles. Horrible app
