Bit of tidying, bit of tuning. All to keep things working just right.

User reviews

Trash app

Can't even let me select pics from gallery properly.
No video option nor way to edit listing

The automatic assistant is garbage

It randomly posted my roof job to kitchen suppliers, and when it asks you a question with multiple choice replies it then says it doesn't recognise the reply you choose.

The directory of cowboys

If you are looking for the very worst of trades, this is the place to find them. Their guarantee doesn’t count for anything and it’s now been taken over by the people that make uber. A race to the bottom

Plumbing Job

Plumber arrived. Did absolutely nothing. Charged £120.00 for doing absolutely nothing. Amazing!

Good to find trades, not so good as an app

Makes it easy to find companies for trade jobs, but the app and website are quite disjointed and review system doesn't work properly, pestering you to leave a review for a trade job long after you've done it.
