Features
Read full description

RyvePool is now easier to use across rides, courier delivery, and vendor order management. This update improves rider Home, Find Rides, Book Ride, Trips, Discover, Profile, Activity, and ride tracking. Hubs and subareas now work better for search, posting, and booking, with nearby hub ordering and exact rider drop-off saved on hub rides. Drivers get clearer active trip controls for scheduled and live rides. Couriers get improved work-area selection, active delivery recovery, and enterprise batch delivery flows with guided stops, POD photos/scans, exceptions, and returns. Vendors and partner staff get cleaner order, menu, payout, tracking, exception, storefront, and account setup screens. We also improved notification routing, local time display, tracking link sharing, safety check-in, receipts, reviews, payments, wording, UI polish, and overall reliability.
