Horrible

Won’t let me create an account whatsoever. I’ve tried everything.

Worst Customer Service Ever

While I didn’t have an issue with the app, my brother has been trying to submit the forms he needs in order to work on the Spur app. He’s a minor, so he had some extra paperwork to fill out—and even getting THAT was like pulling teeth. His background check has said “in progress” for probably about two months. He’s constantly been trying to contact Spur to help him for probably about four months and nobody has helped. Someone responded to him once weeks ago and has ignored his texts since then. He’s tried calling, texting, and emailing anyone he can. Nobody responds or they respond once and never again. Every time he called the Spur helpline, he got nothing but an answering machine and no matter how many times he left voicemails, he never got a call back. Spur is insanely unprofessional and clearly does not care about your time. Absolutely absurd. I have never experienced anything like this in my life. If I could give zero stars, I would.

Horrible App!

Horrible App! They post jobs that are actually not available, and I’m tired of wasting my gas everyday! I have to call the schools before going there due to this! I quit!!!

no notifications

i try to spend time on the app to schedule a shift for myself but i’m unable to because of my schedule i don’t understand why they don’t allow this app to send you notifications to your phone…

Awful

I’m not sure how anybody is expected to work if they are not being notified of the job openings. Our school district just switched to the Spur app from Frontline, and I fail to see how this benefits the substitute teachers at all. It is now increasingly difficult to pick up a job or to personalize where you work and what days you are available. I rely on this job to keep me afloat while I’m in school full time, and the switch to this poorly functioning app will now make that unnecessarily difficult.
