Uber Driver is an Android, Windows, and iOS application that allows users to work as drivers for the world's most popular online ride sharing service, Uber. Using the application, drivers can get paired with clients, receive money for a driving transaction, rate users, and receive tips.

All in all, the Uber Driver app allows drivers to work on their own schedule, in any location, at any time. It only takes ten minutes for users to sign up and, once they've been accredited, drivers receive a hefty sign-on bonus provided through Uber.

The Uber Driver app provides seamless navigation, alerts, and other drop off signals that make the task of driving as easy as possible.

However, users should be aware that the application drains battery very quickly. Most drivers will have to chip in for a car smartphone charger if they wish to spend several hours driving at once. Additionally, it could incur huge data costs during use, since the app requires location settings to be turned on.

Nevertheless, the Uber Driver app makes it simple for drivers to get paired with riders and properly navigate them. Thousands of drivers all across the United States use the application every day in order to supplement their primary income.

In order to get started, new drivers simply need to enter in their vehicle registration information and snap a picture of their driver's license. The application features no ads and never sends out notifications that don't directly relate to the task of navigation, making it as safe and distraction-free as possible.
