Awful

Don’t waste your time. I spent over two hours and turned in over 130 photos, only to have three not upload correctly. I asked them time and time again to identify the three pics so I can get my below minimum wage payout. They proceeded to string me along for a week and a half, telling me the “care so much” and that it would be fixed. Three weeks later and it’s submitted but not validated or completed because it’s at 98% because of the three missing photos. They have a F rating according to the BBB. Don’t use this app.

App Doesn’t Function

Every time I am in the process of completing a task the app resets and all my photos are erased. Such a waste of time.

Problem every time when it’s time to get paid

I was attacked by a manager at Walmart and they tried to take my phone. The first time I did a job the second time I did a job their app wouldn’t upload the work. I did it uploaded one 100% and the other 47%.. I tried to stay in contact with their Support, but they just stopped answer. Now they won’t pay me for any other work.dont use this app unless you wanna work for free, they also claim now the pictures are no good. Scam app

Don’t do it

This is 100% a scam. I believe I did like four jobs for them and it’s been almost 2 weeks and I’ve not gotten paid and they also don’t have a history on the app of your order so when you try to bring it up to Support you have nothing to prove that you’ve done the work. I’ve never seen anything like it. Also, when I reached out via email, they would have a response, that would say you’ll get a response within 72 hours, but then they don’t reply again…
I spent atleast an hour on each job, and I travelled to chase the jobs because they were supposed to be almost 30$ a job. I had to take more than 30 pictures at each location. I even had to take pictures at a residence that was occupied, and got sworn at and forced to leave- it was embarrassing and I was afraid they were going to call the cops. So, I got docked for not having ALL of the required photos (I literally was missing 2 and they would’ve been taken the same as the ones I already had anyway, so that whole job got discredited).
I don’t recommend wasting your time or energy on this, which so hate to say, because it looked so good and the reviews did as well. But if it’s too good to be true, it probably is right? I’m convinced that so must have done a lot of the reviews.
