Review
Popbookings has given me the opportunity to make an income and meet wonderful people in the process. I highly recommend their services.
Speaking into a void
Poor communication. No one is responding to my messages. Lynne experience still needs to reimburse me for out of pocket samples. I’ve been double booked on shifts and there is no place to cancel them. Worried I might get charged a fee for this. Again, I sent messages, and no response from any managers.

Response from developer
I'm sorry to hear this - but respectfully this review is a reflection of poor communication with one of our clients (The Lynne Experience) and not with PopBookings. To clarify, you are indeed able to cancel applications to events you are no longer available for so you don't get double booked. If you leave your application as "Available" on an event, the manager may book you because it shows you as available. We can also facilitate the convo with TLE regarding any outstanding expenses if you reach out to our support team!
Popbookings is The Best!
I’ve been using PopBookings for the past 4 years and it has made me so much extra income. I’ve worked some of the best events and made so much money off it. Although it tough to find the agencies that use it, it does have a lot of public (recruit) jobs you can find that will get you started to build a connection with. I highly recommend you complete your profile with basic headshots and build from there, and which each event you book, take photos and help create the ideal photo portfolio so other agencies can see your experience. I invested in buying my own pop up backdrop and use my iPhone to take different headshots. I suggest keeping fresh eye catching headshots in portrait mode on your iPhone. Whether you’re looking to make some extra money on the side or to build your BA or PA resume, PopBookings is the place to start. I started after recovering from a major surgery to get back to work after corporate America told me after being out of my field for more than a year I no longer had the experience needed to find a full time job. I checked the app daily and slowly but surely found gigs, and and now 4 years later I have so much experience and gigs. Be sure to always have your booking agent leave you a review, this helps your rating. Good luck and go get em! You can do it, just like I did!

New update
New update requires iOS26 to use. I have to pay for storage on my phone in order to update to iOS26. So I can’t use the app without paying for storage on a phone I already paid for?
Pop!
So easy to work with, great staff, great support!
App is not functioning great
Often app kicks me off and agencies and booking do not pop up.
PopBookings is great
I’ve been using this app non-stop!
Good app bad actors
Lynne experience and most post are known scams, not like you think but just to show how good they are at booking we use the app for postings and leads to promote.. Fake data for cash” The recruiters are encouraged not to hire people on pop bookings because they make more money to book otherwise. It’s cheaper for them that way. They only use pop booking as a marketing strategy. They tell you to never hire or call any BA’s or models from the app unless it’s from there own website lead. Lynn experience website says what they want to book on the cheap. They have their own website. It’s their way to set people up for cheaper labor so they can cash in. It cost them more money to pay an employee registered on the app than for their own jobs on their app for less than 40 percent. Many employees / job recruiters were fired for recruiting on this app unless it was from their own website. In the Lynn experience company the hiring process clearly stated to never hire anyone from any app for cause of immediate termination. We were told unless you book from their own website you will be fired. Agents were only permitted to book from the Lynn company website or you were fired. These jobs posting pretend to recruit only for marketing. Look at the response rate it’s a scam sadly pop bookings is their platform. The cost to recruit from this app is not worth it for most agencies. In fact recruiters, are steered away from hiring anyone unless it’s last minute. It cost the company’s too much money to hire directly on pop booking which is why and they only schedule people from their own site. They play a game with pop bookings only to use them for profit then not pay their staff.
I would hope to say no to this app they don’t look out for their talent. I worked for there hiring team and I was told never consider hiring an employee on this app because it cost them more money then on there website. Also threatened to be fired If booked anyone from the pop bookings directly. I was instructed to only hire from the outside in, to save the company money for booking fees. Maybe it’s not the app but I’m still waiting on a check when I was ignored from Lynn experience from 2018. Also multiple employees filing grievances from the years past. In part is that there are many other choices to make that aren’t scamming.

PopBookings
Great for Booking Promotional Events with great rates and quick payment!
Questionably suspicious
Some of the companies that popbooking partners with are questionable and could be scams
I worked with two separate companies on pop booking so far one is now under investigation and I still haven’t gotten paid for the work.
The second one I had to go through a lot of emails and back-and-forth just to get paid for my shift because of “ situational circumstances”every time I show up for a sampling the store never knows anything about it and it’s just this weird vibe.
I don’t think I’ll be taking another shift with them.

Delete account
Trying to delete my account you guys need to fix the notification issue. Apparently I was contacted but I never received a message or notification.
Worker
Owner of App to Lazy to do it Right. No human to resolve issue or answer question. Only 1-2 companies accessible. But the app alone is a great concept. There is no way the are a 4.7 rating, No WAY!
AWFUL
Awful doesn’t never work! Please fix this!
Notifications
I never get notifications when I am booked. This causes issues with duplicate bookings.
Glitchy app, higher fees now.
The app is pretty glitchy a lot of the time and you never know if Support was going to get back to you. Often they don’t get back to me at all. They also raised the fees, so much prefer to get hired directly now it’s no longer as worth it to get hired through the app.
Good app
So far I enjoy using popbookings. My only gripe is it can be glitchy and laggy at times when maneuvering through the app. That is something that could use improvement.

Great Bookings App
I appreciate that the app has a lot of companies who post jobs. I have had a lot of opportunities in my area because of it. I can tell that they are growing too, because I have been busier with bookings.
Response from developer
Happy to hear you have had a lot of good bookings! We are certainly growing and will continue to grow and give you more opportunities.
A little slow on loading jobs when adjusting filters but other than that it’s ok
When I adjust filters it takes a while to load. Then when I click on a job and back out the rest of the jobs disappear. It does provide a number of jobs. I’ve made some great friends and money.
Great app with minor adjustments
I get a lot of great gigs on this app! A lot of companies post jobs of all kinds which I like. The overall app experience is good, but sometimes to takes a little while to load some parts of the app. Other than that, I like the app!

No Good
App is a waste of time. Tried to delete it and they don’t even allow you to due to a tech issue within the app. Customer service is non existent. Not to mention you keep applying to gigs and never get approved for anything.
