Uber has rejigged its app making it more intuitive to the users behaviour with a couple of usefull changes, firstly it learns from the regular routines of the user and if you’re a frequent rider you’ll see “shortcuts” that predict where you could be headed. Coming soon, the app can connect to your calendar and once connected meetings and appointments will automatically appear as “shortcuts,”.

Another feature is “people are the new places’ functions that enables you to set your destination to a person instead of a place by syncing the contacts with the app. Uber users can type their name into the search bar and once they’ve shared their location, you can be your way.

Other features in the pipeline with the new app includes, for instance if choosing to use the service to get to the station, you can also check Transit to see upcoming departures for the train, bus, and subway. A suggestive notification to basically tell the user on items he/she should check on where they intend to go.

The new rider app is rolling out globally on iOS and Android over the next several weeks.
