I have been wondering why all the Free-now pre-book jobs disappear from my screen within a nano-second fer the last few months.
I got the answer this morning from a Limerick mate of mine, there is a FN cheat app available called 'Autoclicker', my mate has it downloaded on his Android phone since last week and it automatically accepts all pre-books as soon as they appear, (he showed me the video of it working on his Android phone). He can then browse over what the cheat app has accepted fer him and throw back anything that he does not fancy.

I have just seen that topic now Watty.
Isn't this just an Auto Clicker App. Anybody can download one from the Playstore. It can be set to continuously Click (Tap) on a particular part of your Phone Screen hundreds of times every second.
It still won't offer you jobs before the Ambassadors, etc.
Just means that you are probably going to be "fastest-finger-first" if a job goes out at the exact same time to nearest available Drivers.
As fer MGB's suggestion that it still won't beat the ambassadors then he is wrong.
Fer the last few months I have been Ambassador/Gold status/On Priority and still no pre-books ever show fer more than half a second.
-
I don't see it as cheating anymore than drivers stickering up to be ambassadors or jumping through hoops for virtual gold medals.
You can be pretty sure this was built by the lads using Uber in the US.
I'd say half of the forum knew about this months ago but weren't saying anything because taxi drivers are sly like that.

Merc I never Played Poker on line or any game of chance .When the machine deals the cards then another machine can cheat it .Free Now wont give a fuck as long as the work is covered BUT and its a BIG BUT they might try to offer a prepaid service where Drivers who want access to Prebooking pay a weekly fee on top of the Commission .
-
Seemingly and I'm no techie this is only available fer pre-books on an Android phone, others better educated in IT might have more info.
I have seen the video of the Autoclicker at work on the FN app, it's scary, the 1,2,3 buttons/icons scan the screen constantly, no way could a human 'Fastest finger' beat the cheat app.

You say Cheat App when what you mean in automated job acceptance app .When every driver downloads the AJAA then there will be no advantage as we will all have it .Then travelers who had their pre booked job cancelled will stop pre booking probably go back to using local dispatchers .

I guarantee that you will all eventually technology yourselves into a grave trying to get ro work first.you have managed to complicate the most simple business imaginable into a fukin technology monster.we have gone from a simple process of someone opening their front door,and sticking their hand out,to a business where some drivers would cut the throat of other drivers just to get a fare first.I hope your all proud of what you have allowed Kearns,and his like turn you into with his technology

Ah the goodold days I remember bringing me Teredactulas down the Teradactula racing Club and then walking me Dinosaur back to the Cave to await the return of the racing Teredactulas then remove the stone from their leg and run down to the clubhouse with the stone .I remember the 64,000,000 BC Open from Pangea Big Dommos bird came second we celebrated by beating our women and doing some cave paintings of the winning Teredactula .

Before the auto clicker app there were drivers sitting at home with the app constantly refreshing benefiting from the home broadband speeds and accepting what they liked.
I posted two years ago that there's a lady taxi driver living up in Templeogue and she has her kids monitoring the jobs on her app constanlty and accepting whatever airport jobs she wants.This is nothing new.
It isn't that difficult for Freenow to disable their app if they detect scamming.In the past we were able to spoof our GPS location also but Freenow stamped that out AFAIK.
-
You may laugh ermy,but in the same way as man will eventually destroy himself through technology,so Kearns and his like will destroy the taxi game by complicating wjat was a simple business

Merc they dont give either of their Fucks who cheats what as long as the Job gets done .I remember on Roys saying we should get out kids to send a ping and we accept the job to get Priority .I remember pointing this out to Big Dommo and he pissed himself laughing saying .Hailo will love that fellas taking imaginary jobs and paying them commission on them just to get access to jobs to pay them comission on .

Your right Canute fucking destroyed the business with combustion engines .Progress I havent had a slice of Roasted Brontasaurus in years .

Here ermy,I kinda like my new name
-
So is it's only for prebooks ?

So is it's only for prebooks ?
what me new name ?
-
There's absolutely no work on app are you sure it's just prebook?
-
SStop calling me prebook

Don't the Ambassadors get offered all jobs (including Pre-book) before the ordinary Drivers ???
I'm pretty sure they do, so you are probably being beaten to the Pre-books by Ambassadors who are already using this App
-
Can't see why it would only be for prebooks.I'd say you can use it to accept jobs also.
-
These apps have been around for years. Amazon flex (kinda like Uber, but just for Parcel Delivery in the US of A)) banned them over 3 years ago when they saw that the same few Drivers were getting all the work in certain Zones
-
Yes apparently they are not illegal, but "against the rules", and temporary, or permanent, suspension is possible if Amazon decide that one is being used
-
Mad the lengths drivers will go to to give away 15% of their money. Certainly strengthens the case for a significant increase in commission.

There's absolutely no work on app are you sure it's just prebook?
As per Tony's above utube video it is seemingly fer all jobs.
And even as nearly top of the FN tree there is nothing like the work that was there just a few weeks ago.
-
Are fn aware of the app? If they are will they do something about it? I'm not that tech savy but would they know how many times the app is refreshed? Have to say though it must make the ambassadors know how normal drivers felt up until this point being at a time disadvantage all the time. If I was back working I'd be using it, you'd be mad and broke not to.

FFS Ken the Reps asked for help so drivers could return to cover the non existant work and fucked up the few lads that were getting Pay .The Reps do not understand how business or Politics works .They should of looked for 2K per driver to keep our vehicles serviced and insured on top of our covid coin .What the NTA needed was cover just in case there was an outbreak among Luas ,Bus or train drivers and the traveling public needed an alternative .They got that by saying we could earn 480 per month and we all serviced our cars reinsured at our expense to give them cover .Remember the HSE spent hundreds of Millions to rent Private Hospital beds and rent City West to provide secure cover for hospitals we should of been paid to provide a secure alternative to other forms of Public Transport .

They are aware of the cheat app because I emailed them yesterday and rang them today to tell them of it, also stating that if I didn't hear back from them that I would be buying an android phone and using the cheat app myself.
FN will not be able to suspend all the drivers caught using it because that would ground most of the fleet which they cannot afford to do.

Ken all it needs is a line of code to stop plug ins .You will notice when you log in to Paddy Power it says no plugins this was because in the early days punters were using bots to play and cashing out when ahead .You really dont understand Free Now dont give either of their Fucks who does what work as long as it gets done and they get 15% you thought that you had some sort of Priority or Ambassador preference that is bollox you got work because there were few drivers looking for it .Ambassadors went out to cover the work thinking they were getting fed that wasent true it was simply there were fewer drivers .All this is algorithms the code decides who gets what Lads now fooling themselves thinking they are out smarting a computer Free Now know exactly who is doing what and where and when and how many jobs are getting covered and how much their 15% is .

It's not that simple, 'erm. They can't (well, they can if they want, I guess) stop your phone from running all other apps 'cos then you wouldn't be able to make/receive phone calls, use your sat nav, use your web browser, use your CC app, use your share dealing apps, etc, etc, etc. They need to prevent/override what the app does e.g. by putting a log out button where the accept button appears when a job is offered or logging you out if you tap the screen more than a predetermined number of times. I think their app puts you busy when you activate a fake location app... a similar approach would be required for this.
PP probably migrated from using addons such as adobe flash because some clever folk figured out how to hack websites with it so their use database may have been at risk.
-
Best of luck to those that can extra work on the app.
-
They dont give either of their fucks how you are getting the work .Frau Oberfurer and Her Unterfurer back in the bunker will look at one thing what is the take up rate of jobs on offer if more than 90% of jobs are covered then they will report in triplicate to the Kaiser in Frankfurt that they have improved conformity among their Irish unterclassen Strasa hunds .

If drivers are moaning they must be doing something right.
