Sitting here pleased I continually refused to open an Uber account or have anything to do with them.
What I hated about Uber and why I never ended up using it was that their app wanted so much info from my phone for no discernibly good reason. And Lyft didn't seem to be much better. I just wanted a ride man, I didn't want a 500 MB app that sucked all the data out of my phone and sent it to god knows where.
So I've just ended up calling taxis.
It's not that your data won't get compromised by someone else, it's just about mitigating the exposure.
I acknowledge my tradeoffs wouldn't make sense for a frequent traveller.
Not to mention with Uber/Lyft, I know exactly where my driver is, I don’t have to flag down a taxi, I know the price before I sit in the car, etc.
And in the apple appstore it says 363MB size.
I don't know if apple calculates the unpacked and installed size or if it is the "download size" too.
