Uber adds turn-by-turn directions for drivers, Yo gets profiles and hashtags

Uber

Uber's most recent update allows riders to enter their destination address directly into the app. Drivers will be able to see the destination on their own app at the time of pickup, and will receive turn-by-turn directions using Apple's built-in maps.

According to Uber, the change will benefit both riders and drivers. Riders will no longer need to communicate their destination to the driver orally, while drivers will not be forced to contend with multiple apps or devices if they find themselves in need of directions.

Uber version 2.35.0 is available now as a free, 13.7-megabyte download from the App Store.

Yo

Yo has now expanded its feature list past a single line, adding the ability to attach links to Yos. Users must have the link in their clipboard before sending a Yo, and they can attach it by long-pressing a username.

Additionally, users can choose a profile name and photo. Yos also support hashtags, and users can configure Yo to Yo them when a web service —  such as Instagram or Craigslist —  is updated.

Yo version 1.1.0 is available now as a free, 13.1-megabyte download from the App Store.
