The destination filter is crap. It frequently has you zig-zag back on forth on multiple $2.80 rides for an hour when it would only take you 20 minutes to get to your destination had you just drove straight there.
But recently they added the "arrive by" function and let you choose what time you need to be at your destination by. This eliminated the endless zig-zagging.
Today I notice the "arrive by" function is gone. Is this permanent?
Restarted and it's there now. Damn this app is fickle!
Didn't mean to imply the arrival time feature solves all the problems. I'm still sent backtracking or in out-of-the-way directions, either for pick-ups or drop-offs. I'd rather the DF either match me with riders only on my way or not at all.
My worse df backtrack was 10 minutes behind me, thru the lax tunnel and picking them up at a hotel and taking them to lax. "Because lax was on my df route"
I only use df for far away locations so that the long trip screen is my indicator of a successful hit or not. If it's any closer it's not worth waiting for a ride.
