There is no denying that mobile cab services are on the trend and people prefer to book a cab online rather than whistling around for yellow taxis anymore. In this trend, UBER has come out on top and currently ruling the front.

Are you looking to enter the business?

If yes, then why wait!!! Choose an iOS development company which will help you in developing your own mobile app like UBER.

There are certain features that you must have before diving into the business. When you hire an iOS development company, you use their expertise in features will suit your business needs.

So, let’s get started with the features that will help you in designing a better mobile app for your business.

Basics of Apps Like UBER

When we talk about companies that offer online cab booking services, there are many tenets which everyone needs to focus on. There are two sides when we talk about mobile apps like UBER. The first side is the customer side and the second is the driver’s side. You need to cover both of the tenets while designing a mobile app.

Let’s have a look at what are features you must have on the customer side of the mobile application.

Passenger App Features

There are some features you must have on the passenger side of your iOS app. Let’s have a look on these features all together in detail,

  • Book a ride
With this feature on your app, you will make it easy for your user to book the ride with just one click. It simplifies the user flow and makes easy for your prospects to book rides and get on with it without any complication.
  • Driver’s Profile
It is one of the main features which you mustn’t miss in your mobile application. Details about driver are a must. With the reference to the local authority, you must display which driver is assigned to your customer. That increases the trust of your prospects in your services.
  • Push Notification
You must introduce a push notification when the booked cab arrived at the designated place. This feature will notify your customer and will also streamline the functioning and the process.
  • Navigation & Mapping
Navigation feature will help your customer and the driver to navigate the map as not everyone knows every route. Generally, it amalgamates with Google maps to navigate. You can use iOS maps as well if you want.
  • Estimation of Fares
If you want to build more strong relation and trust with your customers then you must add the feature which estimates total fare. All you need is an initial location and the final location. With the help of total distance, you can serve your customers with estimated fare that will give them an idea of fare.

Driver’s App Features

As an online cab booking service, drivers are the lifeline of your business. Let’s have a look on what features you must have to ease your cab drivers.

  • The Booking Interface
You must serve an interface that shows your driver the booking list. It will help the driver to keep the track of the current booking to ensure faster cab services.
  • Register Page
When your iOS app has a register page, you will allow the prospect driver to connect with your business and become part of it. A larger number of cabs will give your business more acquisitions.
  • Fair Calculation
Similar to the passenger’s app, you can easily estimate the fair amount for the driver-end.
  • Rating & Review
That feature will help the drivers to review any troublesome passenger. There are cases where passengers trick the driver. With the help of such a feature, you can keep an eye on such notorious passengers or drivers (You might want to add this feature on both the apps!!!)

Concluding Remarks

So, what do you think about the mobile apps? Let me know your thoughts on that.

When you hire an iOS development company, you let experts deal with essential features which have the potential to skyrocket your business. Adios for now!!!
