### 1/5 — Employers unable to use app

*2026-07-07, version 2.10.4*

Poached recently updated the webpage this week on the employers end which now does not allow messaging  from mobile webpage. 

So I tried to download the app but if you are an employer you can not use the app. I paid $75 to post a job and now I can’t respond to people until I sit at a computer which is never since I work in a kitchen!

### 5/5 — Trash app

*2026-07-03, version 2.10.4*

Trash app made by trash people

### 1/5 — Cover letter

*2026-06-25, version 2.10.4*

I don't u der stand why the cover letter I have saved for my desktop version and the mobile app are not the same length.. I send a cover letter and it gets cut off.. not great for trying to look professional

### 1/5 — Not a reliable source for work

*2026-06-24, version 2.10.4*

The mobile app is barely functional.  They also have apparently shut off access to local jobs.  Either I am being discriminated against and/or they don't have a representative out cold calling businesses to advertise for shifts.

### 1/5 — Information stolen

*2026-05-06, version 2.10.4*

Just a heads up. My information was stolen on this website. Wanted to give this place 5/5 for being the worst spot in Colorado. This app gaslight me into thinking I was crazy about my information being stolen.

### 2/5 — Unusable

*2026-05-04, version 2.10.4*

Poached has developed a very nice website and a very nice network which has helped many people find jobs. It’s is a shame that they have obviously put zero effort into making their mobile app usable. There is no map, no search functionality of any kind, no way to save jobs or mark them as seen; essentially all of the features which make the website usable are absent here. There is a marked disadvantage to using this app over just using your phone’s browser for their site. A huge disappointment, and I could easily see it sinking the company in an age where mobile apps are far more used than websites.

### 5/5 — Best job app for cooks

*2026-04-22, version 2.10.4*

This has been the most streamlined job platform I have used.

### 1/5 — Impossible

*2025-11-10, version 2.10.2*

For one, there is no way to save jobs, I have had to screenshot listings and use the search function to find something later to apply. Additionally, every time you leave the app and return, the monumental list of jobs refreshes and you have to spend time scrolling all the way back to where you were. I have my location set for my city, as I don’t have a car, yet it still recommends me jobs that are in the next state/city over. I have limited the range as best I could yet it still happens. I miss when food service jobs were listed on Craigslist that has all the features this app is missing.

### 5/5 — App is worth it

*2025-10-19, version 2.10.2*

Worth it if you work hard.

### 1/5 — App mgmt is careless

*2025-10-16, version 2.10.2*

Fair warning the people behind this app view everyone who works with the app as expendable and replaceable. They don’t value the workers. Do not depend on this app because if you have an emergency you’ll be kicked off of the shifts. Whoever Veronica is she’s super rude and ruthless. She seems to seek retribution if she doesn’t like you. Would no longer recommend this app.
