Secure Social App ConnectSocial Adds Ride Sharing Feature
ConnectSocial, a secure social media app, recently introduced the new ‘Ride’ feature in its array of rich features. The Ride feature enables ride owners to connect with ride partners in the area in a few simple taps and share rides in the most convenient way. Users can also create/join rides between cities.
- (1888PressRelease) November 20, 2018 - ConnectSocial Inc, the Silicon Valley-based tech firm, has recently launched a new feature to their immensely popular social app, ConnectSocial, known for its safe and secure platform. The new ‘Ride’ feature takes the innovative social app with a focus on the security of social media users, a notch higher by offering the users to initiate and join rides, encouraging secured carpooling and easing off the pressure on the environment.
“We want to give our users the freedom to be themselves without worrying about their data. ConnectSocial gives utmost attention to data privacy and empowers users with more control over their feed.
ConnectSocial users can control how they interact with others on the platform by blocking, hiding, or reporting any posts they don’t like or feel safe about,” says Tariku Bogale, Founder of ConnectSocial Inc, responsible for developing the ConnectSocial app.
The newly added ‘Ride’ feature enables ConnectSocial app users to start a ride within the city or even between two cities. Users who are willing to join the ride initiated by the fellow ConnectSocial app can join the ride in a few simple taps on their smartphones.
“We conceptualized the Ride feature in the wake of increasing traffic on the road and mounting levels of air pollution in all major cities across the world,” shares Tariku.
Key aspects of the ‘Ride’ feature in the ConnectSocial app:
Users can manage the rides under five categories; Get Rides, Create Ride, Rides, Pending request, and Ride detail
Get Rides:
My Rides: The rides created by the user are reflected here. The user can start or cancel the ride from this section. If the user forgets to start a ride at the scheduled time, the ride is shown as delayed to other users on the ConnectSocial app platform. When the user starts the ride, the said ride will be removed from My rides and appear on ‘Active Rides.’ If the user cancels the ride, it will show in the Past Rides screen. Start Ride will navigate user to Map Application (i.e. Google Map/Apple Map)
Active Rides: This screen shows rides underway with options to choose ‘Complete’ (for ride owners) and ‘Finish’ (for ride partners). Once a ride owner completes the ride – by clicking on ‘Complete’ – the ride would appear under the Past Rides list. When a ride partner finishes a ride, his or her details are removed from the ride and s/he can create or join other rides
Get Rides: Here, users can find rides near their area (user’s current city rides are shown by default), or look for available rides between two cities. The users can join other rides, cancel ride request as well as cancel the accepted ride from this section. Ride owner, too, can see their ride from this list and can start or cancel the ride. Passenger have to provide their Pick up and drop off location from seperate screen in order to join the trip, so that ride owner can decide clearly. Start Ride will navigate user to Map Application (i.e. Google Map/Apple Map)
Create Ride: This section helps users create rides by filling the source and destination, as well as, filling of key information such as Ride name, contact number, start date time, vehicle number, seats available, cost (free or paid), ride amount. Ride distance is calculated using Google’s Place API.
Rides:
Past Rides: Here, users can find the previous rides that were either completed or cancelled owing to any reason. Rides delayed for over two hours are automatically cancelled.
Upcoming Rides: This section shows the list of ride partners and has options to either cancel the ride request or cancel ride after accepted by ride owner
Ride Requests: Requests for rides from ride partners is shown here. Ride owners can accept or decline the request
Add Pick up location and Drop off location in request sceen in order to decide about request - i.e. Accept/Decline.
Ride Detail: Users can check out the ride details through two sections.
Background screen: It shows the map and the markers for ‘From’ and ‘To’ locations
Foreground screen: Ride and driver information, ride status change buttons, pick-up information, ride partner list
A reload button is given to refresh the screen. The screen automatically updates basis the push notifications received.
“The new Ride function in the ConnectSocial app will help scores of office-goers and students in planning safe and comfortable journeys on a daily basis, and will also help people connect and make friends with other users in their neighborhood, which is the core philosophy of ConnectSocial,” adds Mr. Bogale.
Carpooling or ridesharing is an ingenious, cost-effective and simple way of reducing traffic on the roads around the world. An app like ConnectSocial can make a huge difference in the way people find ride partners/ride owners on the go, saving time and money while reducing pollution.
