The app has tremendously improved over the months. I like the notification part because at times with a busy schedule I might forget to book for a slot in a day. I like the aspect of meeting fellow commuters and learn about the various industries and my local area as well. Since most of the commuters are working at companies that drastically reduce the fear of commuting with a complete stranger.I have tried both driver and rider sides. As a driver I find the route matching reasonable but at times not desirable. I know folks from my own company who use the app for the similar route and the timings, but the app would still not match me with them. As a rider, the issue is when a driver cancels on you and that too just a few mins before the pick up or drop off time. The app should change the cancellation window policy giving enough time to find another ride and giving an option to change the time window to later for the same slot if there are drivers available.Also, being a parent I feel that the evening window can start at 3 pm so that parents can still use the service if they have kids to pick up from schools.Overall, the rate is very reasonable for my route and a lot better than any public transportation available in my area. Would highly recommend to use the app. It does the job well.
One-sided carpool app. Drivers to avoid.

I have been using scoop for a long time(32 months and 290 rides matched) and in general I found scoop to be too riders friendly and making drivers role harder and harder. Riders now get unlimited monthly pass to use which makes each ride only 3 dollars but the drivers’ pay still stays the same for the past 3 years. Riders pay a very small amount compared to Uber pool but have much more power. Some riders would refuse to walk for 5 mins to meet me but had me drive in the heavily blocked traffic for 30 mins and called to located them on busy streets and found parking in downtown to wait for them. If the drivers decided not to go through this craziness then the riders could easily mark you as no show and the drivers would need to pay a fine. On the other hand, there were riders who would keep me waiting for more than 20 mins past the scheduled time and they got ZERO penalties, encouraging them to be late more and more often. Even Uber pool would charge the riders for wait time over 2 mins and riders must walk a reasonable distance to meet the drivers, not to mention Scoop drivers are not there for profits but your fellow coworkers. I contacted scoop customers service and their answers were robotically unhelpful ”it is the driver’s responsibility to pick up the riders at the locations they demand, no matter how it does not make sense for the traffic....” ”We will pass your feedback to the riders for them to be on time”. Scoop’s lack of support for drivers has encouraged some riders’s abuse on drivers with their unlimited power and no penalties. As a rider, you would certainly love this app. I did observe the shortlist got longer and longer over time and more drivers were quitting. And the riders will no longer enjoy as there are no more drivers out there willing to drive for you unless scoop fixes this problem.
Good idea but just starting
tvtdea
This app is a great idea of daily commute. However, they have just started and there is limited choices on what times you can choose and limited chances you can got matched up. Sometimes there is no shows which I believe is due to irresponsible drivers but they will give you 5 dollar credit for any no shows. Overall I love the app but I hope they can publish more time. My shift starts at 6 and ends at 2 but there is no car pool option at 2 :(. Also I believe some of us have weekend shifts so I hope we can get weekend carpooling too in the future.---------Update------It seems like the app is losing its users. I can not get carpool for the recent couple weeks or even if I got matched, the driver will cancel immediately for no reason. Once I got matched, I had another no show no call and I need to call Uber instead:(.
Map could use some work

Scoop map could use some work. It doesn’t show the correct location sometimes introduce a rating system for drivers. Idrivers cancel at the last minute during my morning commute and 5 during my evening commute over the past month. This kind of behavior is unacceptable. I have been late to meetings because someone has made me wait for half an hour and then I have given up and had to make alternative arrangements. Scoop is not helping cut my commute time, just introducing an additional stress factor. Simply blocking drivers is not the solution. How many drivers do I need to test out before finding a reliable one? Please do something about this. Thanks.
Thanks for choosing Scoop Carpool!
