Any Lyft 3rd party apps out there? (lemmy.world)

Lyft disabled scheduling rides through ride.lyft.com, I used that quite a bit but now in forced go use the app. The problem however, is that their app just doesn't work. It launches, says the Google API is necessary and then continues to close.

Does anyone know of an app that use their API that doesn't shut itself down without installing Google SDK?

I didn't find such an app when I briefly looked for one a while back. However, LineageOS with microG and a separate user profile might keep the official app confined enough for comfort.

I might end up reinstalling lineageos with micro-g, yeah. Will use uber web for now (assuming it'll work)
