A new review of Limo Manager will be soon published on AppPicker. Here is its introduction and link in absolute preview:
Limo Manager app review: manage your fleet
08 Sep 2014 Reviews rss subscribe
Introduction
We have a very specific business app for those who manage a fleet of limos, minicabs, and/or taxis. The Limo Manager app can be used on your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone and makes it possible for dispatchers to view customer pick-up locations and their destinations on a map. The app is built to be smooth, modern, and easy-to-use, with most features requiring just a quick tap or two. The idea is that you can manage your fleet and fares no matter where you happen to be, which gives you a whole lot more flexibility.

Desultory problems on the Register backoffice
08/25/2014 02:01 PM Archiviato in:Backoffice
This time is the italian back office turn to present problems. Since this morning Register started occasionally returning a 503 error to web calls. I have already notified the support who had already noticed the problem. We hope for a rapid solution.
I remind the Register back office handles the taxi and sharing business. All aspects relative to the buses and metros are handled by the Crissic back office and are thereafter not affected by the problem, but for the suspension of the high availability in the case of its own possible problems.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

The new 4.2.2 version of Taxi Professional has been released by Apple and it is not available for the free update by the authorized users. The new version is focused on the improval of the taxi positioning now also available in background and the system used depends on the plugging of the device. This is the change-log in brief:

Once unplugged the low energy localization is used in background, while plugging the iPhone enables the more powerful GPS background localization.

New 4.2.2 version of Taxi Professional Submitted
07/31/2014 09:20 PM Archiviato in:New releases
Waiting for the porting of the app to the Android world due to an overwhelming request by taxi drivers apparently favoring that platform over the iOS one, a new release of the iPhone one has been submitted with a better handling of error messages now also accommodating the format better handled by Android, and finally an apparently working background localization. Moreover now the app reacts differently while in background according to the fact the device is plugged or unplugged. In the latter case, in order to save battery life, the coarser form of localization is used; conversely while plugged the more precise GPS one is used. Taxi Drivers wanting to give users their precise location are therefore suggested to keep the device plugged through the apposite cable to the cigar plug while on the car.

Soon after recovering the development machine from assistance due to a critical failure, time was ripe for submitting a new version of the main In Arrivo HD app including some features specifically addressed to the soon to be released Limo Manager app, but also benefitting the regular users of the suite. In particular now the taxi icons display the identifier of the driver for ease of reference, the iPad booking panel is correctly sized on the number of contemporary reservations and a number of bugs has been fixed. Moreover the new release is ready for iOS 8 and adds its eights localization by opening the suite to the Japanese users.

In order to accomodate the oncoming Limo Manager reservation procedure, even the client apps have been provided with a multiple taxi reservations.

Uber Pop and the In Arrivo Shared paths: has Freud something to say about it?
05/21/2014 11:26 PM Archiviato in:editorial
Recently Uber proposed what it calls another disruptive service: Uber Pop. Basically the service allows normal drivers to carry other passengers for a fee, a big part of which ends up in the deep pocket of Uber itself, as customary. Basically the same thing the In Arrivo suite is offering in all its three embodiments since more than one year by means of the shared paths technology. The difference being that the app does not charge the driver in any way for carrying other people and is not interested whether that is done for free or for a fee, and also that it offers this service also to walkers and taxi passengers that in this way may find fellow people for a run or walk in the park, or share the price of a taxi ride to a certain common destination to save money. What Uber has not even thought of or sparsely presented.
This make even more troublesome to understand why Uber is considered disruptive. The only suggestion is that it is mood to make it so. Sometimes the feminine part of people dominates and the Denim type, occupying spaces and not needing to ask for that, projects its own charm. What makes even more so the fact that it comes with the big money of Google and other investors.
I wonder if appreciators of this platform understand the deep Freudian push at the basis of their interest!

The new 1.4 release of Share & Spare
04/09/2014 10:04 PM Archiviato in:New releases
The new 1.4 version of Share & Spare has been approved and release by Apple today. As anticipated this release introduces many of the new features gradually entered the main apps including the new Apple routes, the better communication with the taxi drivers and the support for the new Apple architectures. Still free, still social and useful in the whole world. No reason not to try it out now!
Share & Spare is catching up
04/06/2014 08:37 PM Archiviato in:New releases
After some time even the minor version of the suite Share & Spare has receive its seasonal lift. Actually perhaps more than that as also the free app has eschewed the google support for the routes, with the exception of the sharing ones, and adapted to 64 bits. This is the quite conspicuous changelog:
- Upon booking a taxi, is now possible to inform the driver beforehand about the expected destination and to share the path with other users to look for company.
- The route to the destination of a taxi ride is now drawn on the user's map upon boarding the taxi to keep her posted on possible departures from the planned route and be thereafter able to ask the driver for clarifications.
- The paths are now calculated by means of the new Apple turn-by-turn library instead of the past third party one for a better resilience and efficiency.
- Full iOS 7.1 support.
- 64 bits support.
Transfer to Aruba successful
04/06/2014 12:06 AM Archiviato in:Web server
I have the pleasure to inform the guests of this site and the users of the app that the transfer of the site to Aruba has been performed with success. SO we are all ready for a new wake of updates most probably fist affecting the app for our taxi fellow driver users of the sister app Taxi Professional.Taxis may be vocally notified of incoming reservation
04/01/2014 05:50 PM Archiviato in:Information
Spoken notifications can come in handy to taxi drivers while on their car to allow them to keep their hands on the wheel at all times. No need either to actually get distracted from your driving to look at the screen and read the reservation notifications you just received. All you need to do is listen. Here is how to set it up.
Enable the VoiceOver Accessibility setting
The iOS setting that you need to enable is actually an accessibility feature called VoiceOver. This feature can be used to read all aspects of the screen using Siri’s voice, including notifications that pop up on the screen. The following steps will also allow you to easily turn on and off the VoiceOver setting, as it may not be a feature that you want enabled all of the time.
Since the latest development you will also be read the location of the reserving user and the intended destination, if provided.
