In plain words
Stretch is a free ridesharing app offering limousine rides across the United States. Users request a pickup and the service attempts to collect them in a single 28-foot stretch limousine that travels throughout the country. Created by James and Bart during their cross-country road trip visiting all 48 contiguous states, the app functions similarly to standard rideshare services but with a novelty twist: rides are complimentary and the vehicle's location is unpredictable, making availability dependent on the limousine's current position.

From the sources
In early March 2017, James and Bart set out on a quest to become the first people to visit all of the lower 48 contiguous states of the United States in an old, 28-foot stretch limousine . Being a recovering mobile developer with some spare time on the road, James decided to build a half-baked app for the occasion. Stretch is a bit like Uber. Except that it's free, there is only one vehicle available (a limousine) and it could be literally anywhere in the United States at this moment. Hit the request button and we'll try our best to come and pick you up. We'll then limo around town for afrom stretchcorp.com
