Driver Mobile Application: The driver application is built using React Native Framework. It incorporates all the functionalities necessary for drivers. They can see the assigned orders, the orders they are delivering, manage tips, see the reviews they got from the customers and can also give reviews to the customer. Customers can also see their ratings in the app but they can't see who gave them rating due to privacy reason. This kind of data can be helpful to identify problematic customers.
