I tried to call a person who contact me to made to me pay on this , she is also not available… I sent mail to authorised department they also not take any action about this issue….. don’t trust this app , don’t pay , don’t felt ditched later ….. completely cheating only …. They don’t have database. This app is a total scam. They happily took the money but didn’t provide even a single relevant candidate as promised. On top of that, they don’t answer calls, don’t reply to messages, and vanish once payment is done. Basically, they are just experts in making excuses and ghosting clients. If you value your time, money, and sanity, stay far away from this fraud service. Their professionalism is zero, their promises are fake, and their support is nonexistent. This is not a recruitment platform, it’s just a money-trap. Shame on such businesses that survive only by cheating and lying to people. ### 1/5 — Not useful *2025-07-20, version 2024.1.9* App is not at all user friendly and very complicated ### 1/5 — fraud company *2025-06-29* This totaly worst scam fraud company to provide man power. every listted people on this app are fraud all are taking money and then block your number. also this company till say no responsiblity their who is fraud. lokal app emplg also will call you and build trust and after taking subscription they will not responce any call or massages. ### 1/5 — Job Fraud *2025-06-22, version 2024.1.9* Job fraud ### 1/5 — Fraud *2025-04-27* Posted multiple job post but every time post is wrongly executed and wrong details fill by respected executives.

Paid 3k For 2 job roles . Recieved 32 responses but not one was revelant. Everytime I ask the sales person, they say that they will boost up and extend the add but I’m not getting any response. Not a single one ### 1/5 — Waste of time/fraud *2026-01-28* They i have paid for a premium (1415) speaking with their sales rep. After the payment I received only few responses in single day and remaining 14 days went silent. There is no response. The promised me to give a data set but they didn’t, casually they are saying it might be because of bug. They shared the data at the last date . All of them are told verified but mostly candidates won’t attend the call or they might be applied 3 4 months ago. It’s totally waste of money. ### 1/5 — Scammers *2026-01-21* This app got payment for 2 times and not giving service, they change number after payment. I tried to contact them, but they ignored. I have all the proofs of all payments and call history’s. I tried asking for manager number, but no one responded. ### 1/5 — Update *2026-01-20* After app update not work to ios ### 1/5 — Fraud application don’t use and don’t go for subscription *2025-12-19* This is my personal experience with this application/service in Bangalore, Karnataka. I paid ₹1499 (thousands of rupees) after being promised _____ service on ____ date. Unfortunately, the service was never provided, and despite multiple follow-ups through calls and messages, there was no proper response or resolution. What is most frustrating is that money was taken confidently, but accountability was completely missing. I am sharing this review so others can make an informed decision before spending their hard-earned money. If the team responds and resolves this issue, I am open to updating this review. Until then, I cannot recommend this service. ### 1/5 — A *2025-11-20* F ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-10-30* The jobs portal is not available or not working in website version. We did not know about this and we paid for posting and it was never received posted and the number they mentioned was also wrong. Worst app and cannot change language. This is purely scam ### 1/5 — 🚫 Extremely Poor & Misleading Service 🚫 *2025-10-01* We had one of the worst experiences with this app. Despite clearly mentioning our requirements (location and gender preferences), we kept receiving irrelevant profiles—candidates from places like Mumbai, Pune, Nashik, and even people who openly said they were not looking for jobs. Most candidates either refused interviews or never showed up, wasting our team’s time. The app has no option to report fake/inactive candidates, and there is zero accountability. Support from the team is also highly unprofessional—calls and promises are made only until payment is collected, after which there is no follow-up. Even the representatives provided (including their contact numbers) don’t respond once the money is paid. This is a paid service, but the quality is worse than free job portals. It feels like a trap—false assurances, no real support, and irrelevant candidate profiles. ⚠️ Avoid this app if you value your time and money. There are far better platforms out there for hiring. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good update *2025-11-20* Thank you lokal app ### 5/5 — Good app for reading hyperlocal news *2025-11-18* Smooth ### 5/5 — Go to App for LatestBuzz's Around You *2025-01-08* Using since last 3 month's and i feel this app is clean with less or no ad's more relavent news and quick updates of my surroundings -Want to stay updated even in your busy schedule, download this App it's gonna cover you up with updates on a glance. ### 5/5 — Helpful app *2023-11-27* It is helpful app for getting all the local as well breaking national news… --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
