Extremely disappointed. AVOID!!

DO NOT hire a contractor through this app. They overcharge, are unreliable and INCOMPETENT. The app offers NO RECOURSE for receiving a refund for SHODDY WORK or DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY.

I had a nightmare of an experience with a contractor who showed up high to the job (!!) and made a mess of my furniture. He did such a poor job that I had to take much of it apart and re-do it myself. Not only this but he left a massive scratch over the top of my very expensive dresser and neither the app or this tasker took ANY responsibility. I was not able to receive any compensation or refund. What a disaster. I had to pay this imbecile over $40 an hour to come and mess my furniture up, insult me and waste my time.

As far as I can tell there is no screening process for who this app allows to work for them, SO BE WARNED!!

Not available in Canada ??

Your app says it’s available in Canada and it asks me for my postal code and when it put in my postal code it says my zip must be 5 digits it’s not a zip it’s a postal code Ana they are all 6 characters. Why waste our
Time ? If app is not available in Canada ?

Gustavo Costa

Gustavo is an outstanding person who is totally 100% reliable. He arrived on time, completed the task in a professional manner and ensured that all was to my satisfaction. A friendly, well-mannered young man who speaks English, Portuguese and Spanish. I would recommend him to anybody who is looking for outstanding, excellent service and professional work to be completed. It was a real pleasure to have chosen Gustavo to complete the work that needed to be done. Thank You Gustavo.

You get what you pay for

If you want somebody completely unqualified to do a lousy job, this is the app for you. If you want a company who in no way stands behind their service, you found them.

Non refundable required fee which does not guarantee eligibility of using app

To be a Tasker you must pay a 25 dollar fee then you are shown all the details and information before you are able to start working. There is no guarantee you will be eligible and you can only find out after paying the required NON refundable fee which doesn’t guarantee anything. Why would a company require you to pay them before learning the details as to why they cannot use their app in the first place? What do the have to lose by refunding money when a person isn’t able to use their services anyway? What trust should you give to a company who would steal from would be users?

Thank you for the feedback. The fee pays for the background and identity checks which are completed for each registrant within the community. The community finds these to be an essential part of safety as they often are inviting Taskers into their home or work place.

Password Reset link doesn’t work

I used to have a Taskrabbit app year ago to help me move into my new flat. I was very happy with the service, but deleted it when I didn’t need it anymore. Big mistake. Now I want to reinstall the app, it said my password expire but the email with the reset password link won’t let me reset it, it just sends me back to the original login page - so I am in a loop!!

I’d start a new account but I want my old handyman contacts. Also I can’t email anyone for help either - no contact us/FAQ/setting button until you login! Very frustrating!

Unreliable! Cancellations - No Response

I’ve attempted to book an easy job four times and every time the Tasker has cancelled without any communication. I just receive a notification the appointment was cancelled, no nesssge from the Tasker, no reasoning…

We need the option to write a review about this on their profile or at least mark that they cancelled.

I signed up for this app a few weeks ago and I’ve booked the same task four times now and every single time the person is canceled.

Zero task completed.

Don’t make plans!

Don’t do IKEA with taskrabbit

Getting IKEA PAX assembled by Taskrabbit is an ongoing challenge and doesn’t deliver on the promise of ‘easy’.
We purchased a pax and saw a Taskrabbit ad at ikea. We asked the sales representative to add assembly services to the total charge and she scheduled the assembly date and time. Everything seemed streamlined.
A few days later we checked the status of the appointment and it was canceled without any notification.
After hours on the phone with both IKEA and Taskrabbit representatives they bounced us back and forth to each other and then finally admitted that the task did not come through and instead of helping us rebook IKEA just refunded the assembly fee leaving us to fend for ourselves.
Next, we schedule the task directly with taskrabbit and get a person (this is a gig app, btw) assigned. After multiple messages back and forth and having to explain exactly what needs to be done (even though ikea sent all of the instructions and the design) the person canceled the morning of when the task was scheduled.
The saga continues as we are trying to find someone to assemble this pax and the marketing message of getting service the next day is not being delivered on. I’d assume a large company like ikea would have this figured out.

The worst app I’ve ever used!

I can’t log in to my account although the password and email are correct. It let me changed my password and afterward I can’t log in with the new password again. The sign up page is not working either. It just makes the whole experience a lot worse.

Taskers are very unreliable

Unfortunately I had multiple taskers cancel the day of the scheduled appointment. The service is too unreliable and after a last minute cancellation you are not able to leave a review on the taskers profile.
