Yes this app is constantly under development. As far as adding new modules, I have done this in the past for both GrubHub and Door Dash. But keeping up with 5 apps is very difficult. Post mates doesn't update often in fact it hasn't changed in 9 months. So it probably has a pretty solid spot...

RC builder is currently not working to add apps. Sorry about this, but it needed a major overhaul and I'm still working on getting it working right. Thanks for your interest, I'm hoping to have it going well by the end of December. Currently the builder can be used for existing modules, but...

Magnetic holder for car that also charges wirelessly

No module for taxify, however future versions will allow you to build your modules for any app. You can actually preview How this will work by using RC builder.

It can work with anything but will require the user to do some setup. Instructions are included with the app.

https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Google-Wallet-Design-Holder/dp/B07474KKY2 I think using this case paired with a QI receiver would be the best bet right now. You could put a receiver in the wallet section, create a small recess for the ribbon and have a great solution. Using cases seems to be...

Ride Companion update on Google Play, Fixes major bugs. Once again fully functional for Android Devices running Android L (5.1) and above. Download from Google Play, Attachment in OP or the In App Update Notification

Update available from the in app notification and Google play beta channel. This fixes the problem with Lyft automation and will also address other automation problems.

After a lot of trial and error, I think I finally got a fix. It is going to use a different approach to performing actions in Lyft and Uber but will be more robust for sure. A fixed up Ride Companion will be available either later tonight or tomorrow.

Ok, so I got the icon thing figured out. I'm pretty sure your launcher is using round icons, my app did not have an icon setup for this. Well it does now. I'll have an update later on this weekend after I have a few other things figured out. Happy Halloween...

Looks like users of Xposed module might experience some issues. Got this nugget this morning about a crash from a user of the latest version. The problem, XposedBridge.java - (custom ROM addition to Android) de.robv.android.xposed.XposedBridge.invokeOriginalMethodNative It's causing issues...

I'm suspecting either your launcher or the rom is the problem. When the launcher is requesting the app icon it is reporting null and defaulting to the icon you see. Try using a different launcher and see if the problem is corrected, if not it is the ROM. Another solution would be to install...

Which version of Android are you using? Is it a custom ROM?

Milestone Ride companion accepted close to 700 trips yesterday and has been steadily increasing usage daily. I am glad to see this app is able to help so many people. See graph below for trip stats

First, thanks for trying the app and providing some of your experiences with it. It has not had much testing with Oreo, definitely not much with custom ROMs. I don't know what magisk is. The switching problem is a known bug I've been working with. A work around right now is to turn off...

New release to Google play, new features included...

-Last trip buttons fixed in both the notification and floating button -Instant update notifications fixed, this was crashing if there was an update before the user was able grant all permissions (fresh install of an older version)

I can fixed the bug for the last trip button from the notifications. This was a simple typo that caused this problem. Also the last trip button will now be green when active, this was definitely the intended way to do this. That's what happens when I drink... :) The unusual app switching is...

What device are you using, The last trip button was kind of an tested feature. I'll look into this. The lopping at the end of a trip is an interesting bug, your not the first to report but it seems like it is not very consistent. Does this happen with the last trip button enabled? The...

App update Removed notification tones, causing problems on some phones Fixed bug with app switching I hope Added some features

Update ready to launch in the AM. -Will have an option to disable the Auto app switching until a ride request comes in, then it will automatically re-enable. -Bug fix for users wanting to use Only Lyft. -What's new popup so you know about the update and what might be coming in the future

Working in a fix for this right now, should be ready shortly ?

Original post has been updated with the most recent apk for those that do not have play store access

If your not please use the version of the app from the play store. It is the latest. As far as getting post mates to work, I am working on this actually. In a future update you will be able to program in your own app by simply taking a button at key points during a request and trip.

Update Posted Update posted to OP and Play Store. -More settings available -Toggle Notification Sounds for incoming messages and requests -Add shortcuts to your home screen launcher for easier access to Ride Companion Functions -Re-Organized settings menu for easier and cleaner look

Update on Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thunderstick.CarCompanion -Sorts trips in descending order on report -Ignores passenger app for Lyft, so now viewing the passenger Lyft app while driving online will not mess anything up ;)(request from user) -Click on...

I can fix #1 pretty simply, It was watching the rider app because a lot of drivers were only using the passenger app on there phones since it doubles as the passenger and driver app. The next version will ignore the passenger app, as it is redundant. This problem does not exist with Uber. #2...

New release to beta in OP and for Google Play Beta Testers Fixes crashes if draw over other apps permission is not granted.

Beta update posted Expenses now available in printable report.

Bug fixes for beta Last trip button fixed (hopefully) Detect pickup and arrive locations more accurately Minor unnoticeable other fixes

Updated Beta Version Looks like the last trip button didn't work and detecting pickup time and location had a bug as well. Both should be fixed now, untested but the fix I think was pretty obvious. I will post an updated in the morning

It's in the plan to have an editable expense and trip log. This will take some time though. For now it is still collecting all the data needed so when I get it fully functional at least the data will be there and your reports will be accurate.

Beta Test Version, Keeps track of cancelled trips and added a last trip button to close Uber, Lyft and Ride Companion after your current trip ends. Also started working on an expense tracker that will show up in the report eventually. This might be buggy, let me know... THANKS

Ill post a version in the morning that will indicate if the trip was cancelled or completed both with an icon and on the printable report. Few more goodies on the way too....

APK in op updated to match play store

You can download the APK for this app in the first post. It is pretty current

This is coming in the future. I am working on ways to make this work for all driving apps by clicking a learn button. It will be as simple as pressing a button when an action happens in the app (ride request, ride accept, ride arrive, on trip, trip end). This is the next feature I am working...

It has no translation. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you. If not let me know. It has not been tested outside of the US either so try it and let me know how it goes.

Thank-you, I don't think Ill be doing an ad free version. I thought about an ad free subscription version but it is too complicated when accepting and tracking payments for users. The ad system is simple, free and truly only one ad for every 25 trips accepted is pretty good. Most drivers...

Oops

Download the latest version from the play store. It is the most current right now. Google drive backup options are available in that version. You earn automated trip accepts by watching ads in the app. Click the box to watch one and you earn 25 trip accepts. It will stop accepting trips...
