Advise needed on carpool app development, Should I go for it?
Hey everyone,
I’m working on an idea for a new carpool/ridesharing app focused on making daily commuting more affordable, reliable, and community-driven.
There are already apps in the market, but many people still face issues like:
- Drivers cancelling rides
- Safety concerns
- High platform commissions
- Poor matching of routes/timings
- No proper verification or trust system
- Lack of ride flexibility for office commuters
- Bad UI/UX or slow apps
Before building it further, I genuinely want feedback from real users.
If you use or have used carpool apps before:
What problems do you face most often?
What features do you wish existed?
What would make you switch from existing apps?
Would you prefer:
- fixed office commute carpools
- one-time rides
- women-only rides
- verified corporate users
- live tracking
- wallet/reward systems
- subscription model instead of commission?
What made you stop using current carpool apps (if you did)?
Also open to any crazy ideas, suggestions, or frustrations you’ve experienced during daily commuting.
I’m trying to build something genuinely useful instead of “just another ride app,” so honest feedback would really help.
Thanks!
