### 2/5 — Can’t upload videos

*2024-11-26*

The only issue I have is that the only way you can leave a video is if you record it right from the app. Change the app so we can upload videos like we can with pics.

### 2/5 — Great idea, but ...

*2012-01-07*

This seems like a great idea. However, the log in / registration appears to only be for contractors. It is not clear how I would go about looking for a contractor.

### 1/5 — Drains battery on iPhone 16 and iPad

*2026-04-07*

Horrible for battery life. It’s really bad

### 1/5 — Drains battery on Iphone 16

*2026-03-14*

Horrible for battery life

### 1/5 — Drains battery

*2026-02-17*

As the title says, this app is constantly running in the background draining my battery. It’s also extremely glitchy when opening the app to check in.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-04-16*

Same error every time. Can’t send review requests because of “invalid phone number” or “invalid email 2”

### 1/5 — Needs some work

*2025-01-27, version 7.1.4*

Consistently forgets my password , even setup just a simple one and still two days later tells me it’s wrong . Deleted app, maybe return another time and try it but for now more annoying turn anything

### 1/5 — Pos. don't waste your time

*2014-03-28*

Not working right

### 1/5 — Bothersome

*2012-01-09*

👎 pointless, confusing, and annoying registration process which I couldn't be bothered with. 

Open. Tap, swipe... Look confused. Delete.

### 1/5 — .

*2012-01-09*

The interface is confusing if you are a casual user and not a contractor. I can't even figure out how to log in as a person looking for a contractor.

### 1/5 — Unable to register

*2012-01-08*

When I select an industry it does not keep the value and validation says I need to fill in all fields. So I am unable to register and use the app.

### 1/5 — Won't install on 3G

*2012-01-06*

Boo!

Also the registration process is buggy and fails for no reason.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2025-10-02, version 7.2.1*

It does what it’s intended for.

### 5/5 — Best customer service!

*2025-07-31*

This company has unyielding support when it comes to there customers I’ve had an unparalleled experience working with them and as far as SaaS this has been my best experience thus far.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2017-07-16*

Few people realize the potential of this app.

### 5/5 — Home owner

*2013-12-05*

Very good service..... Thanks guys

### 5/5 — Love the concept!!!

*2012-08-07*

Will there be a customer app to compliment this one? Customers are searching more and more on smartphones and need to be able to locate this site.

### 5/5 — Outstanding App

*2012-03-16*

This is a great app.

### 5/5 — App is for service pros

*2012-01-09*

Sorry for the confusion. If you are a customer looking for a service pro, you can find them at www.nearbynow.co - This app allows those professionals to checkin throughout their day and broadcast it on the www.nearbynow.co site.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2011-12-10*

This is awesome for the service industry. Need a plumber? Exterminator? Tow truck? Booom! Nearbynow will tell you who' s nearby ..... NOW

### 4/5 — Dark mode support

*2022-04-20*

So far I like the app, it seems intuitive enough, however I found that  when the app is in dark mode none of the lettering changes which sets black text against a black background. More than likely if it doesn’t get fixed I will stop using the app as switching between light and dark modes will get annoying over time.

### 4/5 — More shareable content

*2020-05-22*

We have really enjoying this service to help us build our positive feedback. The app is easy to use when requesting a review. However, I need more from this app as a social media manager for our company. When you go online you can share to your socials but I am ALWAYS on my phone. And I would like to be able to see my worker’s reviews, not just their average. And I would like to be able to click 1 button to be able to share it to a story or to the page feed.
