Do you work for Fuber?
Sounds like it as you are the only one here thinking this bollocks can work.

Nope  never even heard of them before now, didn't know about these escort apps until I just looked them up, but I've heard of Grinder, whatsapp, kik, and the like and the trend seems to be going mobile
I could see an anonymous version of tinder working with feedback in the same way they've got on AW but with the ability to have their phone number as on AW, I could see that possibly working but then again what do I know as I barely even know how to use email on my smart phone and have only ever used whatsapp

They think we'll see any random man/drunk/coke head/axe murderer walking in off the street with no screening just like the parlours do.

Thats what makes me think it could be ex parlour ladies, I cant see independants thinking this app would work. Iwould love more advertising avenues, I just dont think this particular app is going to go down well with clients or girls

Good afternoon,

Thanks for all the feedback and the comments.  Although not always easy to read they are proving invaluable.  Please keep them coming.

Some further questions from you all have been extracted and here are our answers.

Will our rating system work and how can the reviews left be trusted?

Our rating system works with the escort and client giving each other a star rating after a booking is made.  There is the option to write a description if they so wish. You do not see the other parties feedback until you have posted your feedback.

Fuber does not penalise you for not having lots of good ratings; we appreciate some people will just use the app occasionally or see regulars outside of the app (although our booking management system is very simple to use).

What Fuber does do is penalise those who get bad ratings. The rating system is in place to weed out timewasters and bad clients/escorts and ensure we have only the best independent escorts on Fuber.

If you do not agree with a rating, you can contact the customer service team (available online during office hours) who will investigate the matter.

Does Fuber allow me to supply clients with all the information they need quickly and efficiently to contact me, book and turn up?

Amy, Thanks for the feedback.  Fuber is a fully streamlined system in that it does exactly as you are asking.  It supplies clients with all the information to make a quick decision about whether to book you and how to go about meeting you. 

Is Fuber connected with the German App?

Lucia88, thanks for the question.  No we are not associated with ze Germans. The team are 100% prime British.

Is Fuber technically an App?

Lucia88, Fuber is a mobile web app first with a sister desktop version being launched along-side. This means you do not need to download anything to your phone ensuring maximum discretion.

When is Fuber Launching?

Lucia88, we will be launching this summer.  We are in the final stages of testing and are adding some further functionality based on the feedback from these forums.

Will Fuber incorporate calls into the service?

Amy, After listening to your feedback comments we are now discussing how we can add a call feature into the app.  We appreciate that some escorts will not just want to rely on a user?s profile and may require a further layer of screening. So question for all of you who like the dog and bone (phone for non cockneys).

QUESTION: Assuming you would like to screen a client via phone would you like to do it by;

-   Providing your number?
-   Ability to call within the app for a nominal fee (i.e. a few pence per minute) thus removing the need for a second phone and screening your real number?
-   Ability to receive calls within the app for a premium fee which is charged to the client and you receive the money also screening your real number?
-   Another solution?

Do Clients need to verify?

Losthope, yes, sorry for this confusion; clients do need to verify,  but not in the same way as escorts.

For escorts we are verifying that they are of age, of free will and their pictures are real.

For clients are use different verification methods to check they are not time wasters, have not been kicked off the site before (IP addresses) and are of age. We will also strongly encourage clients to create a profile with discreet pictures and a description, but as you will appreciate many clients require high levels of discretion and privacy (especially the ones we are hoping to  attract). The feedback loop will further reinforce this.

Does any of our team work in parlours?

Losthope, no they do not.

Thanks again everyone.  You obviously want to be able to phone clients and there is a way to do it without revealing your phone number.  We are really interested in making this happen but would appreciate your feedback further as to the privacy issues surrounding this.

Any further questions please let me know.

Have a great sunny weekend.

Rach
Team Fuber

Amy, once again thanks for the feedback.

Two members of our team are former escorts and we are on here asking for feedback as to how we can improve the offering that is coming to market. 

We originally thought that we could use technology to remove the need to have a phone call.  After much discussion above we appreciate the desire for phone calls alongside the tech to facilitate the human element of screening.  This is why in the post above we asked the following question:-

Therefore maybe the solution is above or you see another but we are listening and adapting as we go.  Many escorts have asked for a way to screen clients based on calls.  This is what we are looking to provide.

Thanks again, appreciate this may not be for everyone but we still feel Fuber can be the best solution for independent escorts in the UK.

There's this bizarre solution, which is displaying your number on a website, and people call you - often paying very little thanks to their mobile phone tariff. Modern technology, eh?!

Do you honestly think an escort would have just one phone, for personal and work stuff combined? 

As soon as I read this I thought 'Woooooaaaahhhh'.

Why don't we just let Fuber get on with it?

And

Is this going to end up like VS, claiming to be listening, responding, taking years to actually get the basics and still missing the point?

Dear Holy Christ and all the apostles we DON'T want to phone punters. THEY want to phone US.

Is anybody else starting to think this is a wind up? We've had folk posting in this section over the years who could give a yoghurt a run for its money when it comes to industry knowledge, not to mention the sort of normal common sense and awareness that stops most adults getting run over every time we leave the house, but this is like trying to explain the Large Hadron Collider to a shower curtain. Over and over again.

I could start on all the newly posted crap above, but you know, my time is worth more than this. Everybody else fill your boots.

It seems they don't want to listen to anyone or answer any questions in a straight manner. Oh don't listen to us we are only the ones at the sharp end of the business who know what's what.

F uber is actually on social media and to my horror I noticed recently they were following me.

I cannot take this seriously at all.

Literally none of this. I'm not sure why you seem to think having a second phone is a huge inconvenience - it's not? And at the moment, clients can call me as I have it visible, and all they're paying is their own tariff. Why would any punter want to pay a fee to connect to an escort, and then pay again to call us when they can already do that without this added faff and charges?
