Hi: I am using the Uber app, and have a weird question, I hit "where to" and set my destination. I have the custom car set, I then hit, "Request uberx" and it says notifying nearby drivers, then after a pause it says my card is invalid. The odd thing is when sighted people do the same thing on my iPhone, everything is fine. Has anyone experienced this? Alternatively, am I using the wrong steps?

But I have used Uber in Calgary and had pretty much excellent experiences with the drivers, I found the Uber app easy to use and Voiceover tells you the driver's name, make and model of the car and the license plate number (not of too much use if I am by myself) but then again neither is the car's make model or colour. What I mostly don't like about Uber is their arrogant attitude towards the industry and their roll in it as well as apparently how they treat their drivers and employees. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Andy Baracco Sent: Monday, April 03, 2017 2:00 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Uber app experience getting increasingly bad I much prefer Lyft. The app is accessible, and very easy to use. It now gives you a countdown timer when your car arrives, and a countdown estimate of when you will arrive at your destination. If you have some vision, or have a sighted person waiting with you, it tells you the make and color of the car, as well as the driver's name. It has been a long time since i have used Uber because I find the experience with lyft so satisfactory.

Today I was getting a blipping sound and the menu items were shifting. I couldn't find the contact driver button for the longest time. Are used to be able to change my destination for doing a second stop, but now I can't. This is really disappointing when before the app had been stable and easy to use. I went to their website, found where it says accessibility under the help menu, and left them feedback, would you can do after double tapping more in that menu. I suggest others do the same. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
