### 1/5 — App

*2026-07-23, version 1.1.31*

Glitchy all the time

### 3/5 — Can’t login

*2026-07-21, version 1.1.31*

Haven’t been on the app in a few years so I thought I try it out again. I don’t remember what my password is so I went to reset it. Didn’t work. Okay I changed it again. Still can’t sign in. Well I guess that’s it.

### 1/5 — Job section jumps

Job section jumps and constantly gives an error message when you try to open the jobs and sometimes opens a different job then the one you click on

### 2/5 — Glitchy

### 1/5 — Out $200 for a job, no reply from GigSpot

*2026-06-10, version 1.1.31*

Did a job for Mercantile and they still have not paid and it’s been more than 30 days. I’m out $200 for a job I’ve done it took my time out to do and neither gig spot or Mercantile has gotten back with me after multiple attempts, please do not waste your time or you will have to get a lawyer like me.

### 5/5 — Bealls

*2026-06-04, version 1.1.31*

Very nice store has lots of different things not found in other stores. Very unique shopping experience.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2026-05-23, version 1.1.31*

I am a full-time mystery shopper and depend on this app for my livelihood. Whenever I open it up, the screen just jumps around for and unreasonably long time before I can open up any of my jobs. And often times it crashes when I apply for a job and when I open it up again, the job is gone.

### 3/5 — App needs work

*2026-05-05, version 1.1.31*

I always get paid but the website works better than the app. App is trash

### 1/5 — App not working

*2026-02-15, version 1.1.30*

When I open the app it stays on the loading screen with the logo thing bouncing up & down. It never loads

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2026-02-07, version 1.1.30*

The app stopped working about 5-6 days ago. I notified the company and was told to use the website. Have you considered fixing your glitch?
