I use the text replace feature on the iPhone to compose a text that I can
send that says that I am blind and am carrying a white cane. I only have to
hit a 3 letter combo to send it.

Personally, I would close the app until you need it, since it will
continue to use your location and could potentially drain your
battery. As others have noted, I usually contact the drivers after
requesting the ride so they can find me quickly and easily. I contact
them via text, but I will call them if they arrive without a response
back, or if the app gives me a limited time to contact them before it
leaves. This has happened with Lyft. Both Uber and Lyft may send an
automated response after the first text letting you know the person is
driving and may not respond. However, most of the drivers I have asked
when in the ride, have reported they did get my message. Sometimes I
will even get a reply back from them, but not often.
Good luck,
Wayne

Hi Bill,
I don't usually explicitly close the app. I do not have to sign in every
time. When you request a ride tonight, it should recognize your location,
and you would then have to put the address where you want to go.
And yes, I have found that calling the driver to let them know I am blind
and where to look for me has worked well.
Good luck,
Pam

Subject: Using Uber app
Okay.
Jennie’s observation about the menu button was correc, and I got the check
card updated.
What I am wondering is if I can now close the app until I am ready to
order
my trip tonight. If I do, will I have to sign in with my password again?
My trip plan is to order a trip home from the local minor league baseball
game I will be attending, which in the past I would have taken a cab home
from, as it is after hours for my residence on paratransit.
I figured this would be a good opportunity to do an actual trip, as I
would
have the advantage of others around me if I needed help. My biggest fear
has been identifying the driver, being a total, though I understand there
is
a way to call or text from within the app; calling has been the consensus
on
this list.
I know the Where To button is where to start an order. I may play around
in
that menu this afternoon before leaving for the game. I have paratransit
on
the way to the ballpark.
