Uber

No-stress rides, anytime

Uber turns dead ends and waiting into useful moments, with UX Bites on zero-result searches, live shopper tracking, and well-timed tip and subscription framing.

Key takeaways from 2 Case Studies and 28 UX Bites

  • Zero-result searches and closed stores surface open alternatives, or an option to schedule later

  • Live shopper tracking and a mini game make waiting for groceries and rides feel shorter

  • Lapsing Uber One subscribers are reminded how much they saved, right at the renewal moment
