Hi Pablo, My experiences with the Uber app have been Positive, once I got the hang of the interface. However, about a month ago I needed to ges somewhere fairly quickly and no matter what I did I couldn’t find a way to select Uber Pool or UberX. I had to go with Select, which, although it was nice, cost me considerably more money and almost caused me to quit using the app. I realize now that I wasn’t clear on how to switch pages so that I could find UberX, so I attribute that experience to user error, the proverbial brain fart. Oh well; lesson learned. I took Uber twice last weekend and on one of those trips I saw no option for contacting the driver, which I routinely do when using Uber. Can anyone tell me why that option was unavailable? Thanks, Tom
