The "features" on the app has progressively gotten worse as they continue to "update" it. Restricting drivers to use the Lyft version of maps is horrendous. Telling us to make illegal turns, driving on restricted roads, and recently gave directions to a destination that would take over an hour more, rather than a more direct route, because it was 10 miles less. The passenger and I got a good laugh out of that, especially since time was a huge factor. Let us use Google again! In a 750k population

i've been lyfting on & off for about 2 years, in Charlotte, NC. the app works for me most of the time. the breakdown of your pay is very nice. the other features like "staying within an area" and the incentives are definitely a plus on my end. however, the configuration of the directions is off a lot. i can't change the color of my car on the app regarding what the rider sees. it shows my car as yellow, but it's white. so it gets annoying when i have to send them a message saying it's white.

Fix your glitchy app. I was just logged off for not being able to find a ride on my route right after I dropped off a passenger and my new ride canceled. It also frequently goes to black screen when I'm connected through android auto, which is dangerous in the middle of a ride. Let us export to Google maps until you fix the app.
