### 1/5 — Mr

*2026-05-24, version 11.0.4*

This app is more about them make money not you , you kind of working amd paying them even if you dont get any job . Absolute scam

### 2/5 — Beware scams

*2026-05-10, version 11.0.4*

Every day another scam job post, warnings of being locked out your account, or blocked if you don’t click on external links that steal your personal information and payment details. 
Or 10s of that same job popping up in every location anyone excepting these is just loosing their money. 
Also no vetting of the jobs posted is another issue, i must of spent thousands in lead costs, time and fuel pricing up jobs for people that don’t even own the property. 
Basically they just want to use your quotes as a bargaining tool for buying a new home. 

I would rather pay a larger fee once the costumer has confirmed that the tradesmen had been hired for the job.

Absolutely no way of contacting MyBuilder and no response to emails.

### 1/5 — Not worth anyone’s time

*2026-05-10*

There’s not much about the app it self it’s the format this has . Basically you’re paying them even without getting hired and some fees are not small so your first month clicking on various job proposals ends up paying a lot with not one job . Then you learn about bigger trick on this platform: THE INVITES. You are getting all excited about people wanting you to do the job. But no same old thing just better bait for you to pay the fee but the chances of getting hired did not get any higher. So basically customer leaving invites with no specs of the work . You have to pay to get this kind of info just for them to suddenly stop replying with no consequences without chance for refund. 
AND THEN COMES THE WEEKEND: where you’ll receive 20 invites on average mostly late evening or early morning which all of them are scammers sending click baits .so not safe platform either. I’m giving it one or two more months and if there’s no improvement I’m deleting this stupid thing.

**Developer response:** Hi,

We’re sorry to hear about your recent experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We understand your concerns around lead costs, invites, and the quality of some job posts you’ve received.

We know tradespeople invest both time and money into finding work through the platform, so it’s important to us that the experience feels worthwhile and secure. Our team is continually working to identify and remove any non-genuine or suspicious job posts as quickly as possible, including scam or spam activity reported over weekends and out of hours.

We also understand the frustration when homeowners stop responding after contact has been made. Feedback like yours helps us review how invites and lead quality are managed, and we’re always looking at ways to improve the experience for tradespeople using the platform.

We’re sorry we haven’t met your expectations so far, but we do appreciate your honesty and hope you’ll begin to see improvements over the coming months. We'd appreciate it if you could please reach out directly to ensure we can provide further account assistance. Have a great day, Carol.

### 1/5 — Plagued by scammers

*2026-05-09, version 11.0.4*

The app for trades has never been perfect as the app can be bugging and not very user friendly. When I get a job lead customer I instantly request the customer to message on WhatsApp to avoid the cumbersome messaging on the app. The app simply just needs improvement. 

Scammers:
Recently the app has now been plagued with scammers attempting to get information from the platforms users. 9/10 leads I receive now are a scammer job lead/post with a suspicious pdf or link attached. There’s so many I find it hard to see a genuine job lead. 

I’ve been using the app for at least 2 years now and it has helped get extra work from genuine customers but recently it’s almost been non usable. It’s a shame because I need the work and customers need their jobs completed.

### 1/5 — Scammers posting jobs

*2026-05-09, version 11.0.4*

This app has recently become flooded with scam posting. It honestly isn't worth using this app at the moment. Hopefully the devs will introduce a system that allows trades people to look and bid for jobs safely. But until such time, I will be uninstalling the app.

### 1/5 — Very Disappointing and Expensive Experience

*2026-05-09*

Extremely disappointing experience with MyBuilder. I spent over £1,000 expecting to receive genuine leads and opportunities for work, yet I barely received anything worthwhile in return. Paying that much money for little to no results feels unacceptable, especially for small businesses and tradespeople relying on the platform to grow.

The lead system seriously needs to change. Tradespeople should not be paying huge amounts upfront without any guarantee of quality or even receiving leads consistently. Right now it feels heavily one-sided and unfair.

I used to believe this platform could help grow my business, but instead it became a very expensive mistake. MyBuilder really needs to rethink how it charges professionals and improve transparency and fairness for the people funding the platform.

**Developer response:** Hi MarkPainting,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with MyBuilder did not meet your expectations.

We understand how frustrating it can feel when you do not receive the level of work opportunities you were hoping for, particularly after investing significant time and money into growing your business. Lead volumes and success rates can vary depending on a number of factors, including trade type, location, demand, pricing competitiveness, and profile performance.

We do appreciate your comments regarding lead costs, transparency, and fairness, and we will ensure your feedback is passed on to the relevant team for consideration. Feedback from tradespeople is extremely important to us as we continue to review and improve the platform experience.

We’re sorry again that your experience has left you feeling disappointed and we appreciate you sharing your concerns with us. If you need any account assistance we'd ask you to reach out directly using our contact form; https://support.mybuilder.com/s/contactsupport#

Have a great day, Carol!

### 1/5 — Unbelievably expensive

*2026-05-09, version 11.0.4*

9£ just to be shortlisted in small jobs, honestly don’t know how you can justify

### 1/5 — DO NOT USE!!!!!!

*2026-04-26, version 11.0.4*

Started out as a self employed carpet fitter and a friend told me about this app to help get me started.

First of all you get charged for the lead even if you don’t get the job they simply just take your money with 1 click of a button and this app doesn’t even require an account on the customer side to create a job listing so essentially you can give fake details take peoples money from them and you might never get your money back and if they do give you the money back it’s account credit apps just full of chancers and fake jobs avoid this app like the plague

### 1/5 — Mr

*2026-04-24, version 11.0.4*

This is the rubbish app . Just keep charging the money . Fake jobs 
Don’t trust this app .

### 2/5 — Avoid

*2026-04-23, version 11.0.4*

It’s a nice idea but the support is appalling and billing dishonest. Impossible to get meaningful support .avoid
