About this app

How many times have you accepted a job that looked good, only to realise later it wasn't worth the miles, the time, or the fuel?

FareBuddy helps you make quicker, better-informed decisions for private hire drivers by showing you exactly what a trip offer looks like the moment it appears on your screen.

When a ride request comes in, FareBuddy instantly analyses the information already visible on your device and overlays a simple visual indicator. You'll see a coloured border together with a real-time earnings widget showing key trip metrics at a glance, helping you understand the offer without scrambling to do calculations in your head.

A blue border means the trip meets your chosen earning preferences. A red border means it falls below them.

Alongside the border, FareBuddy displays useful metrics including price per mile, price per minute, pickup time and distance, journey duration, and the total fare being offered. Instead of guessing whether a job is right for you, you'll have the information you need immediately in front of you.

The best part? You're always in control.

FareBuddy never accepts trips, rejects trips, modifies your driver app, or interacts with ride requests in any way. It simply provides real-time insights based on what's already visible on your screen, allowing you to make your own decisions with confidence.

Whether you're driving full-time, part-time, during busy peak hours or quieter periods, FareBuddy helps remove the uncertainty from evaluating trip offers.

How It Works

Simply switch monitoring on, open your driver app, and wait for a trip request. When an offer appears, FareBuddy displays its widget and visual indicator instantly, giving you a clear picture of the trip before you decide what to do next.

Accessibility Service Disclosure

FareBuddy uses Android Accessibility Services solely to detect visible trip request information and display its on-screen widget and visual indicators.

FareBuddy does not record your screen, record audio, track keystrokes, control other apps, change device settings, or automate any actions. All decisions remain entirely with the driver.

You can disable Accessibility permissions at any time through your Android settings.

Spend less time analysing trip requests and more time focused on driving.
