Uber is testing a lite version of their app in India currently as a last play in a territory where they are failing. Uber lite is only 5MB vs the traditional app space of 181MB. The app is super simple to use and will be easier for people with connectivity issues or small data plans. At the moment it is only available on Android phones but they want to continue expanding this stripped down app in other markets.
Personally, I do not think this will help Uber in India, they have already failed in China and SE Asia. Ola is going to beat this in India now.

Wow! Look at the pictures of the app, so simple. I think I might prefer this.
You say that until you can't even see how far away your driver is!
5 Vs. 181MB?
That just tells me there are way too much fluff and unnecessary crap in the main appnn
Btw sorry about the NBA championship.
BWAHAHAHA
It's probably all Trojan like tracking codes
Probably just a browser. The same as m.uber.com. I can write that.
Not going to help them, they really need to just focus on the US for now.
