Driver Offer Advisor

FAQ

Common questions about Driver Offer Advisor and the Canada-wide pilot.

Is the beta free?

Yes. The app is free for the whole pilot, and there is no payment method on file, so you can never be charged automatically.

Does the app accept or reject trips for me?

No, and it never will. Driver Offer Advisor is advisory only: it reads the offer on your screen and gives you information and a recommendation. It never taps buttons, never automates anything, and never takes actions in other apps. Every decision is yours.

Can Uber deactivate me for using this?

Driver Offer Advisor is deliberately not an automation tool. It never signs into your Uber account, never connects to Uber's systems, and never accepts or declines anything on your behalf. It reads what is already visible on your own screen, on your own device, and gives you advice. Auto-accept apps work differently, which is exactly why we built it this way.

Is my screen data private?

Yes. Screen frames are read only on your device, used in memory to recognize the offer's details, and immediately discarded. The screenshot image and the raw text never leave your phone. Only the numbers needed to score an offer (fare, distance, time, rating) and a coarse area name like "Toronto" are sent. iOS shows the recording indicator the whole time Auto Scan runs.

Do I need to connect my Uber account?

No. The app never asks for your Uber login, banking details, or payment-card numbers.

Will it drain my battery?

Auto Scan uses the screen broadcast while it's running, so it does use more power than an idle phone. Most drivers run it plugged in. You can also skip Auto Scan entirely and use the manual Quick Button instead.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. The beta is iPhone only. If you drive with Android, email support@driverofferadvisor.com and we'll let you know if that changes.

Which apps does it work with?

Uber rideshare (UberX and the other ride types) and Lyft, both scored by the same engine, the same costs and the same thresholds. Uber Package deliveries are also read, priced by their own delivery model rather than the rideshare one, because a delivery earns its money differently. Restaurant Uber Eats orders are not supported yet: merchant wait, tips and batched drops make them a different calculation, and we would rather say so than guess.

Who can join the beta?

Any active Canadian Uber or Lyft driver on an iPhone. The app works across Canada; the Greater Toronto Area additionally has local offer-pattern and rush-hour intelligence, and more cities get that next. The TestFlight link is open, first come, first served.

What is free, and what does Pro unlock?

Free includes 10 total successful real evaluations. Demo and sample checks do not count against that total. Pro unlocks more real evaluations and real dashboard insights: accepted/rejected patterns, route and zone insights, best day/time patterns, wait-time learning, and full history summaries.
