### 5/5 — Flower girl

*2024-03-11, version 1.9.3*

All sitters are actually interviewed by Hello Sitter which makes me feel so at ease when booking their sitters!

### 1/5 — Awful

*2024-02-09, version 1.9.2*

Cannot delete account or credit card information! This app is a hack waiting to happen!! Sends you spam by default.

### 5/5 — Love this app! Great sitters and easy!

*2023-04-01, version 1.9.2*

Nothing but raves for Hello Sitter. Downloaded and booked an awesome sitter for the next day — literally took two minutes. They have really good customer service too.

### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work

*2023-03-04, version 1.9.2*

There are too many bugs to even make this work. Creating an account through FB doesn’t work and its wonky creative through apple. 

The time function doesn’t work for recurring bookings and you can’t message a sitter to “interview” them before booking as you can with other apps. Saw a sitter that looked good, but without the recurring function, won’t know if she is available for the multiple days I need and won’t just hire someone to watch my children without even messaging them first. Too bad. Had potential.

### 1/5 — Issues with billing

*2023-02-28, version 1.9.2*

Has issues with billing

### 1/5 — Not good for sitters

*2022-11-04, version 1.9.2*

No support for sitters and horrible pay. $18 when standard in nyc is $25-39

### 5/5 — Great App

*2022-08-22, version 1.9.2*

Very handy in finding local sitters last minute.

### 5/5 — Where have you been all my life 💛

*2022-03-27, version 1.87*

What a fantastic service and super easy for stressed out parents! Game changer.

### 5/5 — Extremely impressive

*2020-01-05, version 1.86*

The slickest baby sitter booking experience I have ever encountered. Extremely impressive service. Super easy to book, reasonable fees and very competent sitters. I highly recommend Hello sitter and would definitely use them again. I only wish they were worldwide!

### 4/5 — Great app - missing support for iOS dark mode

*2019-12-12, version 1.84*

The service is great, but the app is getting 4 starts and not 5 because lack of support for dark mode (can’t see the fonts)
