RideConnect for Android
Coordinate privately with your RideConnected friends or their RideConnected friends on your social network by posting your driving plans on the RideBoard.
Ask for a ride or offer one from the RideBoard to others who have similar travel plans to your own, or send out a ride request to all RideConnect users in the area who are available to rideshare.
Categorize your ride share community by blocking or muting your RideConnected social contacts with whom you don’t want to share rides, or from whom you’d like to be hidden.
RideConnect values your privacy and provides various opportunities within the app to only rideshare and carpool with people that you trust.

RideConnect connects those who need a ride with those that have one. The possibilities are limitless! From road trips to moving cross country and across town; from rides to concerts in the big city to rides to the airport, there's a use for every transportation need. .
I really like the idea of this app. I live in a rural town primarily of tech saavy senior citizens. I can see folks around here really benefitting from this app. Great job!
