NoSurge

Find the lowest Uber surge values near you within seconds of opening the app!

Avoid Uber Surge today! This app uses Uber's API to get fare estimates for places near you, and then maps out a grid of markers with the associated surge multipliers for calling a given Uber product at that location. You can use this app to see if there's somewhere a few blocks away from you that might have half the cost to get home.

**Requires user to have the Uber app installed in order to hail a ride from a given location**

This works for UberX, UberBlack, UberSUV, and any other Uber products in your region.

Drivers, you can also use this app to find places near you where there is the highest surge as to be able to increase your fares!

Uber's API limits the number of fare quotes on an hourly basis, so do not spam this app with requests, or you may find yourself temporarily unable to access the application.

I was inspired to build this app after seeing no Android alternative for SurgeProtector (a app with a similar purpose for iOS)

Any and all feedback welcome. This is a personal project and my first app, so it will only get better :)

What's New in the Latest Version 1.3

Last updated on Dec 19, 2016 - A faster, leaner backend that should return surge values more quickly
- Real-time permission support for newer versions of Android, which allows the app to more consistently get a user's location upon launch.
