Pros

freedom over own schedule, no oversight

Cons

App has become horrible. It won't let you move the screen to see where you're going while your vehicle is moving. I understand this is supposed to sound like a safety measure, but you can't even click to see the address you're going to. App also moves map back to your current spot when trying to move to see where you're going. Also app won't let you text your customers in your own words even while stopped, for example, you can't type, "I'm at the corner of Marion and 1st ave" for clarity. Instead, you have about 8 prompts to choose from. In other words, many times you have to check the map to be sure you're travelling to the correct side of the street or not making a dangerous left turn ahead or many other things or JUST SEE THE ADDRESS WHERE YOURE GOING and the app prevents these things, makes me extremely frustrated, anxious and dangerous because I cannot calculate how to get to someone or drop them off. The app has all these ridiculous measures, NONE of which are on the UBER app. This is offensive and dangerous and stresses me out as a driver.
