Thank you `very much for your informative vid! - planning to start uber first time an lyft first time together once i get my feet wet w uber - heard of this app researching and your vid was definitely helpful! be safe and God bless!! LOVE how the net brings minds together!
I just now saw this comment! Thanks for the kind words! I like to show things in action when I enjoy a service and/or product. Let me know if you have any questions about Mystro or rideshare in general!
Hello Chris, First of all thank you for your time and helpful videos. This video review of Mystro was great and gave me a good understanding as I plan to use it. I see that you drive an XL, as I do to with a Dodge minivan. From your experience what are the best places and times to get xl rides? I am in south Florida and the benefits are the many events going on all year long. Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Have a great day and be safe on the road. Thank you. JP
Chris, I just got back from an evening of driving. In my 11 rides . . . ALL eleven were Uber! As I think about last week, I seem to be getting 6 or 7 Uber rides to 1 Lyft. Have you noticed a swing in the ratio of Uber/Lyft rides? (keep up the good work!)
Something to take into consideration - economically sensible, or not - by rejecting too many rides your ride requests become less frequent, causing longer wait times for new requests. The way the system works is it tries to find and pair passengers to the nearest drivers, the GPS doesn't always get your location correctly, so in many cases it may skip you giving the ride to a different driver. Uber and Lyft - as a service provider - want to provide a service that will continue to bring in business. Your accepptance rate could effect how frequent your ride requests are if you don't have a high rating and enough good feedback. The higher star, and accepptance rating drivers more then likely always get the requests first if they're within a reasonable distance. This gives better assurance the client will be satisfied with their ride. Rejecting too much could effect the reliability on your account. I'm not trashing the app, I'm just saying if you use this methods to maximize your earnings make sure you work hard at getting your account to a position where it won't effect your reliability and use it when it makes sense. Examples, try to limit your usage to only when you're near sarge areas and the return is worth it, during peak hours and when you need to maximize rides for your bonus.
Real Tuff Mystro can help you maximize your driving, especially if you are looking for surges. In addition, it keeps you from still being logged into the other app while on a drive in case you forget to turn the other app off.
I wish it let you know how far the rider is going! That would be awesome $.... I have been driving for year now all I do pick up all the rides except pool abusely lol and turn off other app by clicking on it and if it's doesn't affect acceptance rate then I don't get it why we need mystro? Maybe it's busy where u at? I'm in ATL,,, but I also understand it would be mean if accepted both and then cancel on one but even that rarely happens!!!
its not about the auto switch apps, its about being able to say im only taking surge trjps, no uber pool, just for that its worth wayy more than 100 bucks
I have used mystro before the problem with them is it dont prioritize surge if 2 rides come in at the same time from uber and lyft and we are all doing this to make more money for that reason I stopped using it mystro was costing me money
Don't your acceptance rating go down if you ignore the request? Also, does the acceptance rating go back to 100% after a week or so? Anyway, great video.
Music City Driver @1:58 if you get a ping from both. Ur primary will hit first. Ala if uber is ur primary. You will get the uber hit instead of the lyft hit.
I had it on ON. I had a Lyft request, and got hit with a Uber request at the same time and it screwed me up so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I thought it was supposed to shut the other app off as soon as you got a request from either???
This page explains what might have happened there. Simultaneous requests are pretty rare, in my experience, but they can happen. help.mystrodriver.com/article/92-simultaneous-trip-requests
I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking if the non-primary app will turn off when you get a request? The purpose of the primary app is to allow a specified amount of time to pass before the secondary app comes on.
I know this is an older post but what you're basically asking is, once it accept a ride from, let's say Uber, then lift should automatically shut down and not send through any requests because you've currently got a request accepted Uber right? I would think that it would not be that rare that you would get requests at the same time running both apps, I only drive for Uber so I don't know if this be worth it for me. I can hit no thanks or ignore something on my own without paying for the app
From a programming perspective this would be really easy to fix. However both Lyft and uber have been changing their API's to counter this type of thing. Really some of these features should be built into both rideshares anyways. (even if for safety reasons, such as no pickup/drop offs in high crime areas)
I watched a video the other day and this guy was not going to take a ride under a 3.0 surge.. he past on like 10 rides before he got one. So his acceptance rate must be terrible..
IMO, 3.0 surge is pretty unrealistic on a regular basis. Near event ending, yes. Mystro will affect acceptance rates, but Uber can't deactivate for acceptance rates any more.
Sorry for the late reply. Surge is Uber's dynamic pricing, which is dependent on demand. Boost is a "surge" that Uber subsidizes to lure more drivers to drive in certain areas. In an actual surge the customer pays more for a ride. With boost, Uber pays the "surge" amount even when it isn't surging. If the surge exceeds to boost, you get the higher of the two.
I cant see paying 10.95/month for this app. That really seems like a lot and it doesn't do a lot of things (trip destination, alerts when its surging, etc)
Mike Wilson I do drive. A lot. Uber can't deactivate you for acceptance rates. And VIP rides are usually not the greatest in my experience. How many rides have you done, and in what time period?
Looks like to me you're going to be sitting there for a very long time and making $0 per hour with the rate you're going! Nah, I'll keep in my regular Lyft car where I can make some money for my time!
I'm in Northern Cali! It would be like comparing Apples and Oranges! So anyway, here's an example of my typical weekly earnings: 27 Rides 32 Hours online $1106.22 Ride Payments $52.00 Tips $15.00 Cancel Earnings $68.75 Tolls -$276.58 Lyft Fees ------------------------------------------------ -$179.99 Rental Vehicle -$13.94 Rental Tax ------------------------------------------------ Total Earnings $771.46
Now granted, most of those rides are LONG TRIPS! I go where I'm likely to pick up a Lyft Schedule for long trip or where people request an airport ride in the wee hours of the morning!

Thanks for the video. Can you use this app for Uber alone to make for hands-free operation? Or does it require using both?
Yes, you can use it with only one app to automate it. Sorry for the late reply!

Hello Cris, Greetings from here in Utah, I wanted to let me know if you have any new Bots for Uber driver applications. Greetings, a hug.

Hi Music City Driver. So is Mystro worth it? Can you make more money with Mystro vs just using Uber or Lyft? Thanks for your advice and video.
Real Tuff Mystro can help you maximize your driving, especially if you are looking for surges. In addition, it keeps you from still being logged into the other app while on a drive in case you forget to turn the other app off.
Thx. Imma try it out!
What type of car u drive? I just added uber to my pickups
Thanks

Don't your acceptance rating go down if you ignore the request? Also, does the acceptance rating go back to 100% after a week or so? Anyway, great video.
But it still affects your acceptance rate right?
Yes it does
So when you set up to ignore uber x under 2.0 surge, that affects your acceptance rate right?
jaramos77 Yes. It will affect your acceptance rating, but Uber can't deactivate for that.
Uber acceptance doesnt matter anymore anyways. But ur main app is the part you dont know music
+MetroplexC70 I didn't understand the last part of your comment.
Music City Driver @1:58 if you get a ping from both. Ur primary will hit first. Ala if uber is ur primary. You will get the uber hit instead of the lyft hit.
+MetroplexC70 I thought I heard that before about Mystro, but I really haven't had the opportunity to test that out.
I had it on ON. I had a Lyft request, and got hit with a Uber request at the same time and it screwed me up so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I thought it was supposed to shut the other app off as soon as you got a request from either???

If i have the lyft app and also the uber app on at the same time. Will the non primary app turn off, or will it stay on?
I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking if the non-primary app will turn off when you get a request? The purpose of the primary app is to allow a specified amount of time to pass before the secondary app comes on.
I know this is an older post but what you're basically asking is, once it accept a ride from, let's say Uber, then lift should automatically shut down and not send through any requests because you've currently got a request accepted Uber right?

FYI primary app is the one that will be in the foreground.
+John Holden Thanks!
Believe it or not any BlackBerry after 10 can run four or six apps
they should do one with uber eats and postmartes
Uber Eats is actually on Mystro. I've heard they will be adding more services as time goes on.
Music City Driver
Ok
What happens if you get a high cancellation rating?
+Hallowed Be Thy Name Uber can deactivate for high cancellation rates.
Music City Driver then what's the point about using Mystro? Isn't Mystro canceling the rides you don't want?
Hallowed Be Thy Name No. It filters out rides before you accept them. Acceptance rate is completely different from cancellation rate.
That app freezes my phone
Hi
If would like to join the Mystro FB group facebook.com/groups/813912208762394/ this group has the Ride Share Guy and the COO of Mystro.
John Holden Will do! Thanks!
Music City Driver if you can promote in your videos the group that would be a big help thanks
One minute away and you turn it down? WTF!!! TAKE THE RIDE! How can surge be that much in MUSIC CITY!
Mike Wilson I take whatever rides I want.
I watched a video the other day and this guy was not going to take a ride under a 3.0 surge.. he past on like 10 rides before he got one. So his acceptance rate must be terrible..
IMO, 3.0 surge is pretty unrealistic on a regular basis. Near event ending, yes. Mystro will affect acceptance rates, but Uber can't deactivate for acceptance rates any more.
I've heard from a Lyft rep that you can get deactivated for low acceptance ratings. So be careful!
Thanks! That's pretty interesting, given the controversy over drivers being considered employees instead of contractors.
what is surge? boost
Sorry for the late reply. Surge is Uber's dynamic pricing, which is dependent on demand. Boost is a "surge" that Uber subsidizes to lure more drivers to drive in certain areas. In an actual surge the customer pays more for a ride. With boost, Uber pays the "surge" amount even when it isn't surging. If the surge exceeds to boost, you get the higher of the two.
Hi.. .I can't find that a Samsung Gallaxy III phone will work with Mystro? Or does it have to be a Motorola Droid phone? Help!!! Thanks!
It's the OS, not the phone. You have to be running at least Android 7.0. Not sure if that phone supports that OS version.
I cant see paying 10.95/month for this app.
That really seems like a lot and it doesn't do a lot of things (trip destination, alerts when its surging, etc)
Since it is a part of your ride share job, the cost is now a tax deduction, so consider that.
Show enthusiasm, get to work!
BTW how do you not get deactivated not accepting those rides? You turned down a VIP ALSO? Come on man....DRIVE!
Mike Wilson I do drive. A lot. Uber can't deactivate you for acceptance rates. And VIP rides are usually not the greatest in my experience. How many rides have you done, and in what time period?
Looks like to me you're going to be sitting there for a very long time and making $0 per hour with the rate you're going!
Nah, I'll keep in my regular Lyft car where I can make some money for my time!
DriverSteve You're in San Fran, hardly comparably to Nashville. You probably make much more out there.
I'm in Northern Cali! It would be like comparing Apples and Oranges!
So anyway, here's an example of my typical weekly earnings:
27 Rides
32 Hours online
$1106.22 Ride Payments
$52.00 Tips
$15.00 Cancel Earnings
$68.75 Tolls
-$276.58 Lyft Fees
------------------------------------------------
-$179.99 Rental Vehicle
-$13.94 Rental Tax
------------------------------------------------
Total Earnings $771.46
Now granted, most of those rides are LONG TRIPS! I go where I'm likely to pick up a Lyft Schedule for long trip or where people request an airport ride in the wee hours of the morning!
Great, sit on your ass and do nothing filters!! I'd rather drive.
I do drive. I just take the rides that are most advantageous to me.
