# Rideshare Entertainment Apps 'Uber Trip Experiences' Now Integrate Other Apps into the User's Trip By Cadhla Gray | Published 2016-01-23 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-trip References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2016/01/let-your-favorite-apps-make-your-uber-ride-more-entertaining.html) & [newsroom.uber](https://newsroom.uber.com/trip-experiences-api/) '[Uber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-and-turo) Trip Experiences' is just another way that the rideshare business is continuing to expand its services and app design to enhance user experience. Uber is now giving other app developers a major opportunity to integrate their services into users' drives. These apps can now gain access to information about the drive -- like the location, city sights driven by and length of trip -- as long as the user agrees. Using this data, an [entertainment app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ridevu), for instance, could suggest a video or playlist that matches the length of the drive for a user to enjoy. Another integrated app could inform tourists about the area they are traveling through or even [suggest restaurants to visit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-eats-dine-out). Finally, smart home device developers could provide an app that allowed Uber passengers to turn their heat on remotely as they're driving home. Uber Trip Experiences illustrates a perfect example of the ways that business collaboration can result in mutual innovation and increased consumer interaction. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Rideshare App Integration:** The integration of other apps into rideshare platforms presents an opportunity for businesses to provide a more holistic experience for consumers. - **Smart Entertainment On-the-go:** Rideshare entertainment apps offer a unique opportunity for businesses to provide entertainment to commuters on-the-go. - **Personalized Route Recommendations:** Rideshare apps provide an opportunity for businesses to create personalized recommendations based on user location and preferences while traveling. ### Who This Affects Most - **Ridesharing:** The rideshare industry can continue to expand its services and enhance customer experience by integrating compatible third-party apps. - **Entertainment:** Partnerships with rideshare apps provide entertainment businesses an opportunity to reach new customers and provide unique on-the-go experiences. - **Smart Home Technology:** Smart home device developers can offer remote control functionality through rideshare apps to enhance user experience during commutes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ride-Hailing App Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-and-turo.md) - [iOS-Influenced Travel Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-2.md) - [Comfort-Focused Business Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-3.md) - [Integrated Trip Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realtime-vehicle-data.md) - [Taxi Round-Trip Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intercity-rides.md) - [Car Rental Expanses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-rent.md) - [Airport-Navigation App Updates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-updates.md) - [Streamlined Omnichannel Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omnichannel-experience.md) - [Car Transfer Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daytrip-app.md)
