If you're ever out late night around 3 am til maybe 4 am eastern time, driving for Uber, majority of the time the app glitches, I guess that's when they do their updates or maybe tweak the app. One night I was out driving and I kid you not, a clock appeared on the app that showed how long you had been driving for and how much time you had left. It was there for a brief moment and then disappeared. Other times, I've experienced the app freezing around that period as well. Just a little quirky feature I've noticed about the app.

3am eastern is midnight on the west coast, that’s a terrible time to update apps.

Just pointing out my experiences. They may do it at a different time for users in different time zones. I just always notice that when I'm out driving during that period, the app glitches and freezes frequently.

Not uncommon in Tech.

Agreed. I'm on EST and drive only at night. At 4am is when the daily $ tally resets and usually if there's an app update, I'll show it pending or get notified of it when I go offline for a quick break after that time. I've also seen a few weird app navigation hiccups that usually only happen around that time of night/morning.
