The End of Surge

January 13, 2023

The Uber APIs we were using to retrieve the surge multiplier are no longer working. This was annouced in a migration from Uber, but it was unclear when they would stop working. As the new Uber APIs don’t provide the surge multiplier, this is sadly the end of Surge.

Surge had a long run of over seven years, launching on August 12th, 2015. We thank everyone who used the app and for those who paid for a premium membership. We are sad to see the app go.

If you purchased a subscription recently, you can get it refunded through Apple. This support document explains how you can do it.
