Since the update, the app is lagging ALOT!! On the map when completing rides, the marker isn't accurate. I would turn down a street and the marker shows I'm still on the previous street. There are also some streets and some entrances to businesses where you cannot enter because it's a one-way, but the app still directs me to go in the wrong direction.

Mostly decent, but major issues with matchmaking. I can sit in a bonus zone for 30 minutes before getting a ride, which is very frustrating. This happens often. Once a drop-off location was closed, so the riders asked if they could get another ride from me. I was sitting there with my app open and on when they sent out a request, but it matched them with someone 8 minutes away. I did not have another ride queued at the time. Fix it please.

Wrong routes on some trips. Gps has been horrible the last few weeks. It took me to the complete wrong place yesterday. Had to turn around and drive to the complete opposite side of town. Whoever works on the addresses needs fired. Speed limits are wrong on the app as well. I was going down 75, and it's 65 through there, and the app said the speed limit was 50, so it was in red when i was going the actual speed limit,also tried to have me go through a pond and a restricted factory area as well.
