While I like the improvements to regular taxi service that the competition has brought, I don't like Uber. They're just shady all around.

The "We're not a taxi service, we just sell software" is a load of crap.

How many apps take a piece of the gross? Purchase a license? Ok. A monthly fee for ongoing service? Sure. A chunk of all the money made from using it? I don't think so.

Doesn't the App Store take a cut of in-app purchases?

If it's a 'digital' product by Apple's definition they get 30%. If it isn't there is no cut.
