A major upgrade of Avego’s award-winning iPhone application is now available on the iTunes App Store. With version 2.0, the application has been redesigned to provide both drivers and riders with a greatly improved user experience.
For drivers, there are many changes that make it easier than ever to offer unused seats to other people in real time, including:
- Improved design for day and nighttime driving
- Improved information about routes and stops, including the time and distance to the ultimate destination
- Driving without having to pre-record the route
- Auto-acceptance of ride requests
- Simpler creation of routes between favorite places
- Auto-display of map view on approach to pick-up
- Reminders of scheduled departure times
- More sophisticated ride matching
- More than 20,000 new Avego stops added to the network
For riders, there is a new web-based user interface that is optimized for use with any mobile phone (not just iPhones). The Shared Transport web application includes a simpler process for booking rides and more detailed statements of a person’s journey history.
In addition to these great new features, the update also realizes improved reliability and performance, as well as compatibility with the iPhone’s new iOS4 operating system.
