Saw your co mentioned in the Techcrunch round up yesterday. Sounds like you've found a great job to build a company around!

Quick thought re: your "Sorry we're not on iOS" page. You give some android phone options (great job at removing a barrier to use) but you leave the viewer with a bunch of uncertainty around timelines.

I driver needs to balance the idea of buying a new phone (and associated work arounds) with guessing how long it will be do develop an iOS app. There's friction there that will push most people to default answer "nah, I'll wait"

Providing some guidance on timelines, or otherwise overcoming the uncertainty around them would be super useful to the calculation / evaluation drivers will have to make.

Two cents.

Best of luck in your continued growth!

Thanks! I agree with this, and we've actually seen many users buy Android devices just to use our app.
I believe it. It's so tightly aligned with the progress a driver is trying to make, and I'm sure they're doing all sorts of ineffective work arounds / substitutions right now. Think you guys have a shot at defining a new category here! Good stuff.
Thanks!
