Uber today announced<\/a> that passenger ratings will be displayed more prominently within its iPhone and iPad<\/a> app.<\/p>\n

Now, a rider’s rating will be displayed right under their name in the app’s menu that slides out from the left. Previously, riders had to visit an unadvertised Uber support document<\/a> and sign into their account to view their score, likely resulting in some riders not even knowing the feature existed.<\/p>\n

While most Uber users are likely familiar with rating drivers on a five-star scale after a trip, drivers can also rate passengers. If a rider eats in the car without permission, slams the door, or tries to pile in more people than seat belts, for example, a driver could give that passenger a low rating.<\/p>\n

By making these rider ratings more visible, Uber hopes it will remind riders that “mutual respect is an important part” of its Community Guidelines<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ratings are always reported as averages, and neither riders nor drivers will see the individual rating left for a particular trip.<\/p>\n

Uber for iPhone and iPad [Direct Link<\/a>] was updated earlier this week, but the rider rating change still appears to be in the process of rolling out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
