Uber Lite App Demo & First Look | Digit.in
Uber has launched a new app designed for entry-level smartphones with storage restrictions and for areas with low network connectivity. Called Uber Lite, the app has been designed by Uber developers based out of Bengaluru and is less than 5MB in size. The company claims that the new app has a reponse time of 300-milliseconds. It is made to load faster by cutting down the information presented to riders, creating location shortcuts and loading the map only when users request for it. This way, the app downloads less data when in use.
When users launch Uber Lite, the app detects their current location and also presents them with key landmarks around their location to make the selection procedure faster. Uber calls this feature Guided Pickups and it is aimed at facilitating minimal tyiping for users. The Uber Lite app also stores commonly selected locations on a userβs device to make requesting subsequent rides easier and more intuitive. "The app caches the cityβs top places so that even when you are offline, no network is needed for them to surface. And the more you use Uber Lite, the smarter the app gets, learning where you go most often and surfacing those options for you to tap first, so you donβt have to type your destination every time," the company noted in its blogpost.
