Hustle
If you like to hustle & earn extra income this is the app for you. I’ve personally been working non stop through this app. Since January 24th 2022. That was my first gig. For the next 8 months I was working in a different place almost every single day, I would be going to a new location to utilize my skill set. Now every gig is different and nothing is perfect but all in all this app via the gig economy marketplace has enabled me to fully focus on an upcoming career change. My point is instawork is legit & if you are passionate, professional & humble about your work. This app will take you to the next level. I am now writing a review because I am taking a bit of a break from the non stop gig economy. If you’re a good worker, Instawork will notice & will reward you with more incentivized gigs. It’s hard work & paying attention to detail goes a long way. Cooking, serving, bartending, warehouse, dishwashing, even driving. Setting up for events, most likely a wedding or corporate display. The platinum bonus is nice & the developers seem to care about the user experience. As the app is constantly being updated. While keeping a good head on your shoulders this app will help you down the road. Just remain professional & consistent. This will not go unnoticed. Thank you for reading this review. This comes from my

Hey Jim! Thank you so much for writing this review, we're extremely grateful! Keep up the great work! 😀Good concept, horrible execution
I signed up because I thought that this app would allow for me to make some extra money quickly like it advertises—it doesn’t. There is a certain number of jobs that you have to work in order to get instant pay and receive your money quickly and there also is not a large number of jobs available. To make a decent amount of money, you need to work a ton of jobs, which are already hard to get because you either have to apply for the different types and wait to see if you are approved or other workers get the slots before you can apply for them. Some even require that you submit recommends from previous employers. Accepting a job is a headache because the process is so long. By the time you get through the process of accepting a shift, the shift is already gone because you have to click through a list of questions and answer them, the process takes entirely too long. Trying to work on this app is a headache because work is almost always unavailable and the work that is available is not really worth the hours or gas.Show lessShayJ728
Best app ever
To be honest this is 100% of my experiences with Instawork. I don’t know what I would’ve done without Instawork it helps me alot not only financially but it gives me a flexible schedule… I really do enjoy working for Instawork and planning to work on for them, I wish I knew about Instawork years ago cause this is what I been missing my whole life, Instawork allow me to make my own schedule which I love, been a single mom and trying to work was so hard for me till I found out about Instawork, and look at me now work 6 days a week without worrying about who gonna watch my child because me and my mom can both work and yet we have our own schedule so one of us can watch my daughter when the other is going to work Instawork makes my life so easy for me and I really appreciate that. I’m so proud of myself for working with Instawork thank you once again. Sincerely

Excellent concept
It's been an overall great experience working with Instawork. I've been able to work at many different companies! The pay has been great! You can work when and where you want!! My only complaint would be, your pay and access is determined by a rating system that you are not able to see. I got knocked down recently, and it's cost me a lot of $, and I know how hard I've worked. It's not fun putting so much effort into your work, and then being told you are not a good worker. The rating system needs plenty of changes in my opinion, and I've had employers that wish to give me good rating, unable to rate me as it only allows ratings on some shifts. Considering pay is so closely tied to this mysterious system, it would be much better if it was either A) a whole new system. B) transparent, so you could have faith that it's accurate, and that you knew what to improve if bad reviews occurShow lesscolinblows
Instawork is a lifesaver
For starters, Instawork has provided me with a great opportunity to work when I can and has helped me since finding a job hasn’t been the quickest. What I enjoy the most in instapay. Getting paid literally right after your shift makes you feel so much better instead of waiting 2 weeks for a paycheck. I never had anything go bad on a shift to where I had to leave or complain. Instawork always pays me and provide me shifts. As far as the rules, I can understand. I can see why insta doesn’t want us canceling less than 24 hours and how bad it would be for the business. This has actually helped me because I went to work on time early today without canceling for fear that my other shifts would be canceled. I do wish their was a way where you can cancel under 24 hours without your other shifts getting canceled. My biggest recommendation is come ready to work. Their might be cleaning and warehouses gigs that aren’t easy but this isn’t a free money gig it’s a working gig. I’m going to continue to use instawork when and if I need to even after I find a job.Show lessjivgfvh
Changed my life!! Recommend 100%
I was having a really hard time trying to figure out what kind of job I should get knowing none of them, that I have access to, are really spectacular. It was really hard for me to do interviews and things like that because of anxiety but then I found the wonderful world of gig apps!Where are you can be just about anything you want to be! No pressure to be perfect for a job interview. Just make sure you’re presentable, clean, have the attire that they require (ha),Do the best you can like you would any other job, show up on time etc, and you’ve got work!! No awkward employee interactions if you don’t get along with someone you don’t have to see them again.I think my favorite part is it takes the monotony out of full-time work (or part time if you so wish). I also like that you make your own schedule completely 100% make your own schedule just can’t no call no show which is horrible to do to people anyway!Show lessStinkwolff
A Dream come true
I started instawork with an invite through a friend. I was very skeptical in joining, however, my friend insisted that it was a great opportunity to join. I went ahead and did my first gig and I have never stopped. I feel free from a 9-5 job. I have an opportunity to engage in other commitments in my life like school and family. It is so much fun and very adventurous while making money. I also love the fact that they have batches like Gold, Top pro etc which encourages and rewards you for an outstanding performance. This is my job and everyday I am loving it. I am no longer stressed out or burned out like a 9-5. Thé pay too is amazing. If you don’t take a step into witnessing the dream/ opportunity you are definitely missing out! Do you wanna pay your bills on time? Do you want to make some extra cash? Do you want real flexibility? Do you want to be rewarded for your performance/ reliability? Do you want to spend more time with family? Are you a student trying to pay tuition with work or need extra time to study? Join instawork and you won’t regret it :) I did and I am glad I did!Show lesscrasssssy

Thank you so much for writing this review, we're extremely grateful! Keep up the great work! 😀Great for extra cash, but strict!
I’ve used a few different gig apps and have found that Instawork offers the most opportunities in my area - that being said, I only book shifts ~a week or less in advance in order to make sure my schedule fits with the strict worker requirements. A cancellation after 5 mins of booking will negatively effect your profile/the amount of gigs you see. Also, part of the rewards system is based upon the reviews a company gives, and giving a review in the first place is up to their discretion. I would recommend similarly incentivizing employers to rate their workers in the ways that workers are incentivized to show up for every shift/get good ratings.
I feel like there are a couple buggy technical issues (eg being >1 mile from the clock out location and unable to clock out still) but overall I’m grateful for the extra work I’ve been able to do!Show lessbrennanner
Great app
I really do enjoy working with Instawork. i'm unsure why so many people wrote bad reviews and the people who have wrote that they have not got paid
I always get paid. with any job that you work it's never perfect but I will say that instawork and their customer care they really really work with us and they do their very best to continue to keep us happy and paid and making good money I've had personal issues where l've had to miss my shift unexpectedly which would be considered a no-show or l've had to cancel last minute and l've never had an issue I submit to them a note or whatever that they need and again no issue I would highly highly recommend instawork to anyone as I have already but I will continue to do so. What other job can you pick your hours, what other job can you make endless amounts of money, and what other job offers all of the amazing incentives that instawork offers especially now with the holidays approaching. as I already stated I truly in my heart believe that instawork works there very hardest to make us as much money as possible and to keep us all happy and I think they do a very very very good job at that therefore I would give them nothing under a five star rating and I want to use this opportunity to say thank you instawork for everything that you've done and the opportunities, the endless amounts of opportunities that you have given me I love instawork and I will continue to pick up shifts probably for a long time!Show lessryvgdhvjhvkb

It’s taking them longer and longer to process pay. The actual employers are finding loopholes to the rules. Many employers do not put the actual job description. When you get there surprise! Your taking out garbage or moving loads of furniture. Not getting tipped for bartender work. It goes on and on. This app is not for the weak. If you are ok with loads of work and crumbs for pay. Congratulations! Many of the employers are working employees and not giving breaks during 8, 10, and 12 hour work shifts. You really can not give a complaint to Instawork about the situation. 1)There is no human to answer or talk to. 2)every issue has a cookie cutter response. 3)If an incident arises and you can not report they will suspend days. It already takes more than a week to get paid. It’s a never ending cycle. Of course they don’t care about the workers. Instawork doesn’t check in on the employers, they take their word for it. As long as they have a contract right? Just remember it’s temporary.Show lessFaith is Hangry
