I stand corrected, thanks.
I would guess that most of ye tech savvy nerds have this sussed already but I'll post it anyways.

As a newbie multiple app user, as in Uber and FN, a colleague of mine gave me this tip.
When I have just one App open and online the clock in the top Left hand corner is in plain colour, as below.





But if I have 2 Apps on the go and both online then the clock shows in Blue, as below.
If I touch on the Blue clock then it brings me back to the previous App.

I blocked Uber and Freenow for sending me texts I didnt ask for and reported them for it. Freenow reckon I could earn more and at no extra cost to me.  rofl they must have forgot about the 15% commission.

That wasn't the best idea you ever had !

Your believing all the Horse$hit posts that you have read on here which are all as I say total Horse$hit because everyone on here works the App's (Maybe not Horse, but that's questionable, he is from Fookin Tallaght !) the App's are a main source of work to most on here, much as they dislike them, myself included, we all use them.

The €3 PUC generally covers the commission over the week.
You made a mistake doing that 1990.

Principles are Great, but ya can't Eat 'em !  lol

You might change yout tune when you see your Legal colleagues racing around your town in FN or Uber branded vehicles whilst your sitting alone on a deserted rank ?
Which is more or less what happened in Cork and Dooblin !

If you work for either app do you have to have the stickers on the taxi? Just wondering as I haven't seen any yet.

Not seeing any difference, Ken other than them being different apps. I'm sure you're making a point but I'm fucked if I know what it is!
That post was just to prove that I did work fer Uber in the past.

Jaysus... I didn't doubt you... but dem pictures could be from anybody's phone... just sayin!

I dunno if that's an iPhone thing but on my Android Uber puts a little button on top of any app in the foreground when you're plying for hire.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

No, branding is Not compulsory with any Taxi app.
With FN branding you get a higher Priority status which Seemingly offers you better jobs ??
I don't work the Uber app but I think you get a lower commission rate (13% ??) if your cab is Uber branded ??
But you can still work both apps regardless if branded or not.

If I was them I'd insist drivers have the stickers and can't work for competitors.

That would make you a DeFacto employee and they don't want that smoke..

I run five apps and have given them all permission to appear on top. I let the c*nts fight it out among themselves. 8)
