Anti Surge

Use Anti Surge to strategically call your Uber and avoid the surge!

***

WARNING (7/25/2019):

This app has been temporarily affected by recent changes to Uber's official API that prevent the app from receiving real time surge data from Uber.

We are currently working to fix this issue and hope to have it resolved soon.

Thanks for your patience and understanding while this app temporarily does not work.

Uber surges can vary greatly within even just a few city blocks.

Anti Surge easily checks the current Uber surge near your location and displays it to you in a conveniently manor.

You'll see markers representing the current Uber surges plotted on a pretty map centered on your location and you can even pan the map around to check the current surge at a custom location of your choice.

You can use Anti Surge to see where Uber is currently surging and use that knowledge to walk out of surge zones where you'll be able to get picked up quicker and avoid the extra surge charges.

Directions for use:

1) Download the free Anti Surge app

2) Open the app, grant location permission, and watch as the map automatically zooms to your location and plots the current surge numbers near your area

3) Pan the map with a touch and hit the button to check the surge at wherever you centered the map

4) Use the plotted surge markers to decide if you want to try and walk out of the potential surge zone to call your Uber at a more convenient location

5) Enjoy!

*Note*

I developed this app privately so I could learn more about Android development and create a helpful app that I myself would find useful. Anti Surge uses the official Uber API to gather current surge information but this app is not affiliated with or endorsed by Uber in any other way.

Any feedback you may have about the app is welcomed and greatly appreciated as it will help me improve the app for future versions.
