A waste of precious time
I really had high expectations for this app but it seems that the employers take forever to hired. If I applied to a job two to three days before the actual job date and I don’t get a response I’m I supposed to not go on with whatever I have to do? The uncertainty of not knowing if you will be hired or not or how soon it will be doesn’t leave room for the people applying to these positions to plan accordingly. Your app is built on the notion that people don’t have other things going on. I’m glad I gave your app a shot, it’s better I stick to the other gig apps that have a system that allows people to plan ahead.
Plus: it doesn’t show you the location of the job until you sign up for the shift. How does that even make any sense? How I’m I signing up for a gig not knowing where I’m going? It gives you an estimate based on what mode of transportation you say you use. It simply doesn’t give you the option to decide if you’re willing to go to a particular area or not until you sign up. Take this from me, you’re better off with Insta work or Wonolo where you can see the addresses from the jump, are automatically hired for the shift (gigsmart literally wants you to sleep on the app waiting to be hired). I thought this was supposed to be an avenue to make extra money without wasting time.

Feeling frustrated
I’m currently feeling frustrated with this particular app. A few weeks ago I applied to a job and didn’t hear back until the day before and I had already booked another gig. The same thing is happening again. I applied for a 3 hour server position for tomorrow and here it is 2:30 on Monday and haven’t heard a yes or a no. It’s fine if they aren’t interested in me but they need to let me know so I can find something to do tomorrow, which I have but there is no option to cancel or contact the employer until they hire you. So it’s very frustrating thinking I may be letting Someone down and I have no way of contacting them.

Horrible
Unprofessional and very irritating. When contacting customer service regard issue about timesheet they don’t care unless you wait 3 day even though your being proactive and also it’s irritating seeing your coworkers being paid for the same work and you haven’t and GigSmart respond is we don’t care unless it’s been 3 day. Hate playing the race card but I’ve experienced some inequalities special from Tom

Been Great For Me!
I am in no way affiliated with GigSmart and this review was written on my own volition:
I’ve used this app for over a year, mostly to generate income in between jobs — and it has truly been a Godsend for me! Shortly after I started using the app, I managed to get a job that put me in the middle of an amazing art exhibit for six months — something I will never forget.
I haven’t used it much, the point of the app is to help you get quick money when you need it. And for that purpose, it’s served me well. I’m now in between jobs again and I’ve managed to pick up 7 shifts through the app, and that is going to be a tremendous help! Hopefully I don’t have to use the app again, but it’s good to know it’s there for me (and you!) if / when I need it.

Convenient, Helpful and simple
App has been working perfectly, user support is absolutely amazing they check on you regularly and reach out without an inquiry even. This is super helpful for side jobs and gigs to earn extra money in your free time and options are very flexible and convenient for anybody’s schedule the app is very simple to use and the services that were very helpful in my time of need. Everything moves fast and efficient and the contact from employers is very timely.

Excellent
Great app that can help people make money. Customer service is also great they will help you understand and clarify anything you need for specific job. Love this app! I would definitely recommend this to a friend and family members!
Receptionist
It took a while to get my first gig but the gig they offered was not a bad gig to have and I would have taken it permanently had they offered. But right now any permanent gig works just thankful for the part-timers I get. The only real problem is, I had to give up a 10% finders fee on gigs and also five percent of my total payout for same-day pay-outs. I don't mind the finders fee but having to pay to get paid doesn't seem all that great but everybody is trying to get paid but I seem to be paying twice to have one job.

Competition for PeopleReady
Covid probably stunted the growth for this app for the summer up here in the Northwest. But it’s definitely way better than the PeopleReady app. Easy to communicate with. Paid instantly for a small percentage. Software is easy to use, bug-free and smooth on Apple/IPhone.
Where has this been?
Recommended by a friend who said it was the fastest way to find work. Needed cash fast. Did two gigs so far. On the job the the same day I applied. Had to wait two days for $. Could be easier to put in personal info. A web version would be great. I give it a five because when I needed $ i got a gig fast.
