Sometimes the plan works and sometimes it doesn’t. Skeddy is a nice resource to have tucked away. Set your filters for dollars and distance, set your location pin and off you go. Skeddy will pair you with rides that fall within your limit for distance to pick-up and your minimum payout for the ride. Often, longer rides are cancelled so it doesn’t pay to plan your day around a ride. One has to be relaxed about it. If I’m on the other side of town and a Skeddy ride interrupts my flow, I’ll leave it on the board for another driver.Today, I set my ride acceptance limit set to $50. If a longer ride fits into my workflow and mood, I might take it depending on how far it’s going, the time of day, and how tired I am. There are a couple of things that might make this a better app. I’d like to be able to set a ride distance limit. Longer rides often require a dead-head back. I may be willing to take a 60 mile ride but not the 200 mile ride. I’d also like to be able to specify direction. I may be willing to take a long run to the east but because of weather or traffic have no interest in going north.Skeddy is good. Sometimes a nice ride will come in over night and give me a good start to the day. It’s worth having in the tool box.

Please do not book rides during times that are not listed under my profile. For example: If I wrote that my schedule for Lyft rides is from 9pm until 7am, do not book rides that are at 7pm,5pm, 8:30pm. Please do not send me rides that are under $10 of payment; they are just a huge loss of my money and time. If I take on rides that are $2.62 which is usually what Lyft loves to book it’s drivers on ( how can someone survive on $2-$5 rides in LA? It is not possible and if we would to survive on $2 We’ll all be homeless) if you book on $5 I am not able even to cover the cost of gas, sanitation, car-wash; car insurance, rideshare insurance, maintenance/repairs of car, tolls, express lanes transponder, etc... thank you for your collaboration. Please if you are not able to give me rides that equals to $300 of payment during my 10 hours shift listed on my profile than you are not worth the subscription and I will cancel my subscription immediately, cause you are advertising that We can make $300 per shift by subscribing to your app. If you are not able to maintain the promises that you advertise than you should consider closing your company down and start a business in a different business or industry. Thank you immensely for your cooperation

I’ve been a ride-share driver for 5 years and had been in the start-up & tech world in SF for over 20. I thought I had figured out every trick of the trade when it came to ride-share . I had not. Skeddy is a game changer for me. The developers of this app have taken Lyft, who at this point was all but useless to me, and transformed them into my most profitable gig work. I have been offered as many as 20 rides by skeddy, that in no way could have happened without them, and only had the time to to complete a few. The last one was this morning. The ride gave me gross dollars of $108 plus tip, my effective rate from 7:30a-9:00a was $75 per hour. The kind of money I used to earn back in the “good-‘ol’-days”. I have another scheduled tonight and I would be surprised if I didn’t gross about the same $ amount over the 2 hour period. I do have some thoughts, ideas and questions and would like to speak with developers about a few topics. Feel free to reach out any time. Thanks guys! Truly a paradigm shift as to how I was viewing ride-share.

I’ve seen reviews where it says it’s a scam, but honestly, I’ve been using Skeddy (before it charged the monthly fee) since January. It has helped me obtain many rides and I am appreciative of that. I know my schedule ahead of time and can plan accordingly. I have been recommending this app to anyone I’ve met that is a Lyft driver, and recommending it to those that use Lyft to let them know that they can schedule a ride before hand so that people like us (that use Skeddy) can plan ahead. Of course, you don’t get a ride every single day on the app, but for the most part you do. & it notifies you when you should get online on Lyft so you don’t miss the ride. Like I said, I’m very appreciative of this app. If it only takes $10/month for me to have scheduled rides, in which I earn over $200/week, then I’ll take that! You can also set your desired minimum ride in miles & you can also set your timing.
