We’re excited to share that the much-anticipated new features in Liftsearch are officially live today! All of the upgrades we teased earlier — plus a brand-new dark mode — are now rolling out to give you an even better ride experience.

Here’s a rundown of what’s now available in your Liftsearch app:

Dark Mode

Go easy on your eyes — now you can toggle between light and dark themes in the app. Whether you’re riding at night or just prefer darker interfaces, Dark Mode offers a sleek and comfortable viewing option.

Share your trip details in a tap

Need to let someone know you’re on the way or keep loved ones in the loop? With our new Trip Details Sharing feature, you can easily share your live trip info, including estimated arrival time and route, with friends or family — all in just one tap.

Live ride tracking for peace of mind

No more guessing where your driver is. Our new Live Tracking feature gives you real-time updates from the moment your trip starts until you reach your destination. You’ll know exactly when to expect your ride and can follow your route live for added security and confidence.

Smarter routes with route optimization

We’ve added advanced route optimization technology to help reduce travel times, avoid delays, and make every ride more efficient. Whether you’re a passenger or a driver, this upgrade means quicker trips, less backtracking, and better fuel savings — without lifting a finger.

Invite. Ride. Get Rewarded.

Sharing Liftsearch just got more rewarding. With our Referral Rewards, you’ll earn perks every time you invite a friend to the platform. Give your friend a discount on their first ride — and score R50 off your next trip when they book. Plus, stand a chance to win your trip money back in our monthly reward draws! Our existing riders are already enjoying these rewards, so get started now.

How to start using these features

1. Update your Liftsearch app to the latest version (if you haven’t already).

2. Open the app and look for a dark mode toggle in settings or appearance/theme options.

3. When you book a trip, test out sharing your route or tracking in real time.

4. Keep referring friends to earn credits — and watch out for reward draw announcements.

Why we did it

Our goal has always been smoother, safer, and more intuitive rides for our community. These features let you use Liftsearch in more comfortable ways, whether you’re riding during the day or night. The new additions bring more flexibility, better control, and more fun to your everyday trips.

Thank you for being part of the Liftsearch family. We can’t wait to hear what you think of the new tools — and we’re already cooking up what’s next.

Ride safe, ride smart!
