iOS 11 Update. Yes, if you use pull down, you need to swipe right
The recent update of iOS 11 changed the pull down screen behavior. BTW: This happened with iOS 10 also. For the time being, you need to swipe right to bring the MyRideTrac widget into view. You then need to press the HOME button to close the menu. Apple will fix this I am sure. They did with iOS 10. Thanks for your support.
How I use MyRideTrac – I designed it for Rideshare
Hi, My name is Ken. I designed MyRideTrac specifically for Rideshare because I didn't think the other guys out there did it right. No offense to them. They do good work, but I wanted to know some very important things they don't address... so what to do? How about design and develop an app just for Rideshare drivers - MyRideTrac! So, here is how I use MyRideTrac every day. First, I start MyRideTrac and leave it running in the background. I put it in STOP mode when I am not driving or at dinner, etc... When I leave the house, I bring MyRideTrac up from the home screen and press NORIDER. If you start MyRideTrac it will default to NORIDER mode. When I get a rider alert, I accept the…
Learnings after almost 2 years of driving X, XL and Select
I started driving Uber in April 2015. I was at the Chicago Auto Show with my buddy and we dared each other to start driving Uber. Boy was I nervous on my first ride. In fact, I muffed it because I actually picked up two people going to two different locations and ended the ride at the first drop off. My rider saved me by starting another ride. Here I am two years later. I drive only Select now. Less miles, more bucks. It' that simple. What have I learned? Be courteous and polite. Always have a smile on Be willing to listen... or be willing to ride quietly. I gauge willingness for my rider to talk by see where their eyes are. If they are "heads down", the do…
Can I enter catch up miles & expenses
I bought MyRideTrac after the first of the year. How do I enter catch up miles & expenses. Right now, the best way is to enter the data directly into the spreadsheet that you can send your self using the SEND REPORTS feature. You get a summary email and a detailed spreadsheet attached that you can edit directly. This is what you want to give to the Tax Man. We are working on designing a feature that will allow you to enter catch up miles & expenses right into the app. You will also be able to enter negative amounts to correct errors.
So, who’s tracking you?
MyRideTrac does track your driving. It records it on an on-board database that is backed up to your iCloud or Google Drive for safekeeping. No one else is seeing where you are going, tracking you for insurance purposes or selling your data.
