So, I've been trying out this app called GigU – Drive Smart, Earn More. Took me a few days to figure out all the features, but my students were a big help, bless their hearts. It's supposed to analyze your earnings while you're driving for Uber or Lyft and tell you if you're making enough per mile and per hour. It's like having a teaching assistant in your pocket, but for your side hustle! Apparently, it reads the screen and figures out the pay, which is surprisingly intuitive, even I could figure it out. I'm hoping it will help me be a bit more strategic about which rides I accept. Why do they hide the settings button there, though? Anyway, once you get the hang of it, it might just save you some gas money and time. I'm hoping to avoid those situations where I'm practically paying to drive someone across town.
Key Features
Analyzes ride-sharing earnings in real-time
Helps determine if pay is fair based on time and mileage
Provides a sense of control over earnings (according to other drivers!)
"I've driven Uber for over 6 years. I never knew when and how I was being paid unfairly until I started using this app 3 wks ago with no regrets. For the first time, this app has given me a sense of freedom and control. I now make more money in less time in Texas."
