What's New in My Sitters

3.3.15

Bug fixes.

User reviews

Takes so long to use

Are there any plans to fix this app? Log in, wait 5 minutes for it to load and for the screen to become interactive. When it finally works, it forces me to review the previous sitter, then freezes for another 5 minutes before I can actually put in my sitting request. It's faster to email them. For a $33/hour service, I expect better.

Is this an app from the 90’s?

Very slow app for some reason it takes too much to load at every single new action. It won’t let contact sitter even a day before the scheduled time. It won’t show contact info from the sitter either and you have to call the office people for anything you need. Which is useless since it’s a weekend and there’s no one to answer the phone.

Technically works but incredibly difficult to use

It has a little red notification that is impossible to get to go away, it freezes every time I open it, it doesn't let me click on profiles 80% of the time, but it gets 2 stars since it does technically work if you're willing to spend an hour scheduling a sitter.

Perhaps convenient, but unreliable and variable quality

The scheduling is convenient; but the sitters come at above market value and are of variable quality. Some awesome, some scary. Ownership does not take any responsibility and are difficult to reach. I’d say avoid.

H E L P ME STAY ORGANIZED.

The app is convenient but I would prefer if I could connect my CNS calendar and assignments to my email/personal calendar, such as my gmail or apple monthly calendar. I am already organizing my current work schedule on there, and with the other tasks and responsibilities and notifications I get for each, it would overall be helpful to see my on call and BACU shifts added to my personal calendar as well.
