Uber has made it a lot easier to get about.
Before it existed you had to go through all the hassle of ringing up a taxi, only to be told there were none available or that the next one would be there in an hour.
It made getting into town on a Saturday night a nightmare.
But now all you have to do is load up the app and wait for one to come. It estimates the fare, tells you exactly when it will arrive and best of all there's no faffing about.
To be honest the only downside of it is that you're given a rating by your Uber driver every time and you used to have no idea what they were saying about you.
I was guessing from the quality of my 'how long you been working for and what time are you finishing?' small-talk I was getting five stars every time, but that was just a guess.
Now that's all changed.

You can now find your star rating under the 'Help' section on your profile.
Let's have a look at how you can see it...
On this screen press 'Help'.

Then you want to tap on 'Account', then 'I'd like to know my rating', and finally press 'Submit'.
There you have it.

I checked mine and I'm rated 4.59.
That isn't bad I guess but I'd like to know who voted me down. I deserve five stars every time.
Come on taxi lads, sort it out.
