How to Make an App Like Uber: Complete Guide

Before developing an uber like app one must understand the complete system of it. Uber like app system comprises two apps, one for the users and one for the driver. Now let us look at how the uber like app development works:

User

Signing Up

The user needs to sign up to avail of this service. Signing up is free, and it can be done by entering one's email id, name, and other details, or they can use their Gmail or Facebook account to sign in.

Book a Ride

Once the user has signed in, he/she can use all the features available in the app and book a ride. Customers can select the type of vehicle needed to be based on the number of passengers from various options available.

Payment

Once the customer has selected the type of vehicle ride, they are directed to the payment process available within the app. Customers can select their convenient form of payment like debit/credit cards/ internet banking, e-wallet and cash on delivery options are available. Several gateways are available for easy operation.

Delivery Person

Accepting to Deliver

When the user books a ride, the nearby driver gets the request for a ride and one can accept or deny the request. Once the offer is accepted, the driver goes to the customer location to pick them up.

Dropping at a Destined Location

After picking up, the driver uses the routing map to drive to the customer destination location. For this service, the person is rewarded with rating and reviews by the customer.

Things to Consider Before Creating an App

While building an uber clone app, the following are the list of factors and features to consider including:

For user apps, make sure the registration process is user friendly. The search and filter option must also be very effective to help with the customer choosing according to their preference.

For driver’s apps, there must be an option to toggle between online and offline options. They must also see their daily and monthly earning, performance chart, etc., to validate their performance. They must also keep updating their status like a driver on the way, dropped for easy tracking by the admin panel.
