Last year, the official Uber app for Windows Phone was pulled from the Windows Phone Store when users realised that the app offered access to Uber via its mobile site. However, now the company is claiming that the new app has been optimised for the Windows Phone platform and reflects the 'complete Uber experience'.
The Uber Windows Phone app is now available for download in the Windows Phone Store.
In addition, Uber is also offering Lumia users two free rides worth Rs. 500 each on sign-up for the service via the Uber Windows Phone app.
Uber announced the launch on its official blog post and said, "We are excited to release a new Uber app for the Windows Phone, available for download now in the Windows Phone Store! Users will be able to open the Uber app on their Windows Phone anywhere in the world - whether in the United States, India or France - and seamlessly request a safe, reliable ride at the touch of a button."
Last month, the company had started a new low-cost ridesharing service called UberX. It kicked-off on June 25 in three cities - Bangalore, Hyderabad and New Delhi.
