I get notifications and immediately accept - only for it to say job is taken - but it still sits as available and I see it in Aesop so I can go accept there. Unfortunately most of the time I’m on the go and not able to immediately look at Aesop. Yes I have deleted and redownloaded - but the problem is still there. Doesn’t look like the app has been updated in several years. Also - my co workers and I noticed they the notifications were not working for literally a couple of months - approx Jan-Feb 2023. I contacted support and was told it was a known issue that was being looked into. No offer of refund, credit, etc. when it was finally fixed they wanted to close my ticket - I insisted on some compensation- so they added a month to my subscription- but that isn’t something I should have to ask for - it should be done AUTOMATICALLY for everyone who was affected. Basically were taking customers money when they knew the app wasn’t working and didn’t do anything about it. I will say that the support people try to be helpful and are friendly. The problems are more with the mechanics of the app and obviously with the corporate side who doesn’t care about crediting customers who are paying a lot of $ ### 1/5 — No responsibility or integrity with Customer service *2023-01-18, version 5.2.1* I was charged the day after I started the so called free trial which caused an overdraft fee with my bank. Customer service admitted to the error being on their part but would not help fix the problem that occurred because of their faulty software. They told me I have to go to my bank when my bank wasn’t the one who made a mistake. Try before you buy is not the truth here even though the terms and condition say otherwise. Make sure your account has the money before you commit. Their faulty system can cost you. ### 5/5 — Great! *2021-04-22, version 5.2.1* I don’t understand all the negative reviews. I have had a super experience using this app! I’ve gotten so many jobs & have worked every single day of the week one year for the ENTIRE year! Well worth the cost & much better than just having the AESOP app which is always later at notifying me of jobs than Jobulator! ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2021-02-09, version 5.2.1* Paying $50 a year for this app, you would think it would be easier to use. Scrolling is always glitchy. Can’t scroll through available jobs. If you see a job a take it, it marks your calendar as working. However, you cannot see what job you’ve taken by touching date, you have to go into another app to see where you’re working on a particular date. Won’t allow me to access Frontline through the Jobulator app. This app needs a lot of updating and uses other then simply taking a job. ### 2/5 — Prepare to be ripped off *2020-06-06, version 5.2.1* It’s a fairly efficient app and easy to use. However, unlike almost every other subscription service that became unnecessary due to COVID-19, the folks at Jobulator didn’t automatically suspend billing when every school in the country was closed. And apparently they have a “strict no refund policy,” which means you’re out the money. You’re paying for a service that they then do not actually provide. So watch out because they WILL gouge you if they can. And when I contacted support, I wasn’t sure what they meant by their answer and when I asked for clarification they stopped answering. I’ll give them one more day and then I’m going to have to challenge the charges through my bank. So bottom line, the app works okay, but the terrible customer service/treatment makes me unable to recommend this app. ### 3/5 — No Apple Watch App *2020-01-12, version 5.2.1* It works fine on your phone. You do have to be really fast to get most jobs though. It works best if you leave the app open on your phone all the time. It makes getting to the place where you accept the jobs quicker. Cons for this app are that you cannot cancel jobs once accepted, you cannot look at the calendar and see what jobs you have only what days are filled, and a big let down for me is that there is no app for the Apple Watch. 🤔 ### 3/5 — Great Until It Isn’t *2019-10-07, version 5.2.1* I use jobulator quite a bit to get sub jobs and appreciate many of its helpful features. However, I have had a recurring problem of receiving a Job Not Available notice for jobs that I know ARE available. I sent an email to customer service describing the problem, including my attempted fixes of removing the app and reinstalling it. Customer service advice? Remove the app and reinstall it. Thanks, jobulator! At least they responded; in the past, it was difficult to get a response. I have had to get district office to contact them. Like I said, it’s a great app until it malfunctions, then good luck getting help. ### 1/5 — Awful *2019-09-21, version 5.2.1* Would give it a 0 star if it was an option. I went 2 years finding sub jobs on Aesop and found jobs everyday. Another sub told me to try jobulator, so I did. Thinking that jobulator was goinf to send me alerts when a job was available, I stopped checking the Aesop site here and there for jobs. I noticed I was not getting any job notifications, which was odd because I know sub jobs are often available. However, when I get notifications the job is no longer available. I was under the assumption that every time a teacher requested a sub request then jobulator would let me know, WRONG! I decided to test it next to the Aesop site. Well long and behold, I saw jobs on Aesop sitting around waiting to be picked up and yet Jobulator is not sending me an alert. I also noticed that when I did get a jobulator alert, it was after I watched the job sit for an average of 25 minutes. Now that explained why 99.9% of the time the job was already taken when jobulator sent the alert. So save your money and don’t bother. I find that refreshing Aesop here and there gets me jobs. Jobulator sends you alerts after a job has already been taken or when it has been sitting there forever. Which means you can just check Aesop here and there and still get more jobs than paying Jobulator for nothing. **Developer response:** Obviously this is not what we ever want to hear, but we would love to try and change your mind! Can you contact us at jobulatorsupport@frontlineed.com so we can work with you to better understand what's happening and hopefully solve any problems? ### 1/5 — Switching to another service *2019-01-28, version 5.2.1* I have been a customer for 5 years and I am leaving. I’m hoping to get a refund for the rest of the year but I’m not holding my breath. The service has been fine except for the past couple of months but then I was unable to open my notifications. I have written repeatedly getting only one response to the first one: log off, remove app, turn off phone, turn on, download app and sign on. I have done this numerous times without a positive result. I have written several times and the only response I’ve gotten is “this has been added to the conversation”... which has been one-sided. Needless to say, customer service is nil. ### 2/5 — Not as good as other apps *2019-01-13, version 5.2.1* I have been testing this app with another one simultaneously to compare timing and amount of notifications. This app lags on announcing available jobs by 30 sec to one minute compared to other app which is completely enough time to miss it. It also has not notified every time there is a job as compared to my other app. Only twice has this app notified me first. I’ve only booked one job with this app as compared to 8 jobs from the other app in the same amount of time- again I have been testing both simultaneously. I’m giving it two stars because I like the Calendar feature and overall aesthetic but not functionality. Will be deleting. ## Frequently asked questions about Jobulator ### What does Jobulator do?
