That's why I tip cash now. I'd think most people that say they are going to tip in the app would and am surprised that many lie, especially when you get an email right after with the option to add the tip. I don't always have smaller bills for a tip and if it's a short ride I may want to use my am ex monthly Uber credit towards the tip.
