Thanks for watching. It really depends on your market and some other factors in my opinion. For example, in SF, Uber dominates. In Sac it can be even but Uber pays better. Uber is by far more popular. I prefer their app over Lyft. Lyft has instituted a guaranteed 70% payout and will reimburse you to meet that payout amount.

Are you using an iPhone or Android?

I don’t know the answer to that question.

I don’t know the answer to that question.

I do like the scheduled ride cancellation fees. It's a haul to get there and back BUT it pays off in the long run. Thanks for watching.

When the Mystro app is on you have both apps on or one of the on and the other one off. It's a great tool if you are planning the dual app. Mystro will turn the other app off when you get a ride. Check out my review of the app and if you have more questions let me know. Thanks for watching.

Hmmmmmm, are you using it for ride share or deliveries?

@@bMacUberDriver mainly doordash.

Great question. I believe Maxymo has a separate app for deliveries. Mystro works with Doordash and Gubhub. You can use the settings to filter order.

Right now, I would say Mystro because of the geographic restrictions you can apply. Thanks for watching.

Mystro and Lyft work seamlessly. Uber has eliminated access element within the driver app that prevents Mystro from working as intended.

@@bMacUberDriver Is this for iPhone or Android?

@@bMacUberDriver Does Maxymo work well with UberX on Android?

Mystro is available for both platforms. I use an Android phone.

For Uber it is pretty good. It has some limits but those limits are due to the Uber app and not Mystro. For Lyft, the app is excellent. everything works as advertised.

Thank you. I have been using both Maxymo and Mystro since the death of Para.

Great question. They both have pluses and minuses. Mystro for the geographic restrictions. Maxymo for the overlay on the screen. Lately both apps are having difficulty with Uber and that's because of the Uber app. Lately, I have been using Mystro more than Maxymo. Honestly you can't go wrong with either.

Thank you! Things are only getting better because I have been going to SF to drive. Sacramento has been pretty dead. I drive a Tesla Model Y Long Range. I didn't intend to use it for ride share either but I wouldn't do it if I was drive a ICE vehicle. Gas and maintenance would be a huge drag on profits. I love the vehicle and it is great for ride share. If you can charge at home, a EV is a no brainer.

@@bMacUberDriver totally! same here, i would not be ubering if i did not have an EV I’m assuming with the Teslas you get premium calls?

I do from time to time.

I did a video in the airport queue and why I don't wait there. Overall, in this market, it is tough to cherry pic. In SF it's a lot easier. Sacramento is what I would call a small medium sized market. Thanks for watching.

@@bMacUberDriver thank you for making the content

My pleasure.

Nope. Not interested. It has been crazy the size of the queue lately. There is definitely some correlation between how slow it's been and the significant increase in the queue.

That is solid. It's tough to turn and burn when the surge is like that. You the short quick ride but you have to reject all the rides to find the right one and then there is not guarantee the surge will be there when you get back. Great job on cherry picking!

@@bMacUberDriver thanks man. Love being profitable and not burning a lot of gas. Uber certainly has continued to be slow as I literally turned it off after 20 minutes of being on and it was early Monday morning.

Yes, I finally broke down and headed to SF. It has been a grind and struggle here in Sac. I agree, once the colleges are back in session and the basketball season gets going things will improve. Till then I'm going to spilt my time between the two markets. Thanks for watching.

I did and I am going to attempt to link the accounts today. Thanks for the support.

Yep I finally made it over there. I scheduled the time to get over there and it was a good night. You might see me over there a bit more (foreshadowing). I appreciate your feedback and it's good to know I'm helping someone out there. That's the intent of the videos. Thanks for watching and if you want me to cover something or have any other questions, let me know.

No more than you declining rides as you do now. It does two things for you: 1. It will weed out the crappy rides that are not profitable for you. 2. It will do it for you so you can focus on driving. Thanks for watching.

I don’t use those apps but they might help. For me it’s learning the area and looking at the route Uber has versus what might be a better route based on what I know. For example, I like to use the alleys in downtown to cut through where Uber will stick to the streets or knowing which streets have fewer stop signs compared to other streets.

@@bMacUberDriver thank you for that.

DOH! Dang it! My bad. Thanks for watching.

Fixed. Thanks again.

I appreciate the feedback. I'll try to limit it but doubtful it will go away. I talk to the phone like I'm talking to a buddy. Thanks for watching.

I'll try to include it where I can. Thanks for watching.

Yep, I got caught in some traffic. It happens. Thanks for watching.

Yep, I would pass on that $12 ride too. How did it workout for you after the concert?

@@bMacUberDriver pretty good. Surges were low but still profitable for me

It was working ok and then I was forced to update the Uber app. I went to look for the old version on your Discord page and couldn't locate it so I switched back to Mystro to see how it was working. I like your app for many reasons, I know the issues are coming from the Uber side and it is out of your control. Right now the lack of auto accept and decline, the switching on and off line is another issue. Have those issues been resolved? I will use the app tonight to see how it goes and I can provide feedback after. The only real advantage Mystro has is the ability to set a pick up and drop off zone.

@@bMacUberDriver make sure you have updated and linked your Uber account with Maxymo, that will help a little bit with the auto decline and offline issue. But like Mystro, Maxymo is still blocked from auto accept and online as well in most markets. Zone filtering will be coming shortly to Maxymo as well, we are currently beta testing it with Lyft, but should be able to do Uber as well.

Yep it has been updated and it is linked. So, I'll give it a try tonight. That is awesome and I am definitely looking forward to that update.

Yes it will impact your acceptance rate no differently then if you are declining rides. In my market, Uber doesn't track my acceptance rate or at least they don't provide that information on the screen. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. I don't know the answer to that question.

They won't. its a safer driving tool

Thanks for watching. Yes I can show my phone. I will start this week to show my phone at the end and the spreadsheet.

Between the two apps, at this time, it is running the best and doing what I need it to do.

Thanks for watching and I will.

I can definitely do that. Thanks for watching and for the feedback.

I’ll take a W anyway I can. Thanks for watching.

For Uber I don’t have one. For Lyft I have it set at a $5 minimum. I’ve kicked around the idea of doing to same for Uber but haven’t yet. Thanks for watching.

Thanks

Thanks

It’s a sign of times right now. That’s a great hour of work. I’d take that any day.

I typically don’t wait for that exact reason.

The dude killed me.

Totally agree.

Let me know how it goes.

I typically get about 220 - 240 at 80%. I generally don't have to charge while out. When I do, it's because I started the night below 70%. It's cost me on average about $7 a day to charge at home.

LOL! I did. I tried to keep them on the line for as long as I could. Once i cancelled the ride, I was talking to them as I drove to off waiting for my next ride.
