Ghost job posting

Horrible app with fake job listing and posting and false advertisement you can apply to like 100+ jobs on this app and not response not even a response saying you didn’t get accepted for the job. DO NOT DOWNLOAD you will be wasting your time

Agency job

Worst service. I’m trying to help my sister get more shifts but honestly it’s a waste of time. Live chat in not useful. They are short staffed and the staff that are working there don’t listen and are useless. Earlier this week my manager let me know he’s posting shifts so I let my sister check on the app, even after 5 mins it didn’t pop up. Baring in mind she’s done 7 shifts already with 5 stars as her rating. I then called and let them know if they can accept the shift and what did they do? They accepted 3 shifts that are in 2 weeks time…I don’t know her name but I spoke to her on a Wednesday around 4:30pm. W accepter timings I’ve never done and that are different to what I said on the phone plus she was in a hurry to get off the phone. This is the worst agency ever as my sister is always not seeing shifts even when they are posted I always have to call and sort it out. I’ve seen other reviews to know this agency is bottom barrel. Do better honestly you’re making it really hard for those that are actually looking to work.

Avoid This App If You Actually Want Work

I rarely ever write reviews, unless an item or service is exceptionally good or exceptionally bad.
Unfortunately Stint falls into the latter category.

I’ve used a lot of apps and platforms to get work, and it’s rare to come across one as useless as Stint- there is a measly single minimum wage shift available once in a blue moon, which they generously toss to the hundreds of poor Stint peasants to fight over.

They never have any shifts available for you to actually do.
if you download it, do not expect to find any work.

I read last year that they were excitedly forecasting 100X growth for their Stint company in 2026… Unfortunately it seems that no one informed their Chief Maths Officer that 100 X Zero is still Zero.

random deactivation

Was liking using the platform when was randomly blocked from the app with no explanation or response from the team,haven’t received any strikes and no communication as to why

Toxic

There seems to be no consideration for our side at all. It feels like they only look at things from the company’s perspective and completely overlook the stinters who are working on behalf of them.
There has been very little cooperation or understanding from their side, and it genuinely feels like the wellbeing and commitments of the people working for them don’t matter. I find this extremely disappointing, and honestly, feels very toxic and unfair.

Major city still no work

I live in London and there is never any shifts going. There are options to join teams but you never hear back , waste of time in my opinion

No contact

Wish I could rate this app a one star.
Staff are so rude to you over the phone when interviewing you
They also give you false hope that you’ve gotten a job then nothing
I applied for Pret A Manger in Dartford and was told that I met all the requirements and had gotten the job
They says they’ll get back to you in 2 weeks but then never do
And even if you apply for more work in other places they NEVER contact you
This app is ridiculous

No respect for workers, exploitative

Very disappointing experience with Stint. I felt I was treated unfairly, and my concerns were not properly listened to. The communication was unclear, and the way the situation was handled felt one-sided. As a worker, it felt like decisions were made without fully considering my explanation or the context of what happened.

The platform also feels exploitative towards workers. Workers are expected to be flexible, reliable and available for short shifts, but there does not seem to be the same level of support or protection when something goes wrong. Ratings, strikes or account issues can affect someone’s ability to get work, yet the process does not feel transparent or balanced. It feels like workers carry most of the risk, while the platform and businesses have more control. There’s also a lot of bias and unfair treatment towards the workers.

This caused me unnecessary stress and affected my confidence in using the platform. I believe Stint needs to improve how it handles worker disputes, ratings, strikes, communication and support, because workers deserve fair treatment, clear processes and respect. Based on my experience, I would not recommend it.

Helping students like me earn money with flexible shifts that too in nearby places

No jobs

I’ve been signed up with Stint for quite a while now and have applied for multiple shifts, but I haven’t received any updates or feedback on any of my applications. Even a simple notification to let applicants know whether they’ve been unsuccessful would make the experience much better.

The app itself is easy to use, but without communication or transparency about applications, it becomes frustrating to know whether anything is happening. I hope Stint improves its communication with users and provides clearer updates throughout the application process.

Interface and filling up information multiple times

I have only just started using the app and creating my profile. I find the interface quite messy - I had to fill in my work experience and introductory video at least 5 times because the progress would not be saved from one time opening the app to the next one. Then, you have to go through the same “add your work experience” and upload a video for each stint team, the button gets you to a form.jotform link that will loose your progress if you go out of that tab into another app I.e. your Notes App. These bugs should be looked into as they are time consuming and frustrating

False performance review

I have been unfairly banned. I have received a false performance review claiming that "you weren't treating the customers well during the shift, and you weren't as enthusiastic about getting along with the team members at the site". However due to the nature of the job, I did not interact with customers as I was fulfilling delivery orders where I was reading from a receipt and making salads for delivery so I never even have the opportunity to serve customers. Additionally I always receive compliments from the team for my good work ethic. So I believe that this performance review must be a mistake as it is completely inconsistent.

So Far, So Good

On a technical note,

I think the app needs the ability to let you see the exact shifts that you have completed which details the time you checked in to the shift, the pay you earned and other minute details as all you can see in relation to how much you earned is the gross amount for all your stints in your profile which isn’t convenient.

I think this will help in terms of clarity to understand what may need to be deducted because of taxes and to overall just have a better understanding of what and when something was completed.

Overall real review

I had a mixed experience using this app. While I was able to complete shifts and did receive payment, there are several important issues that new users should be aware of.

Firstly, the availability of shifts can be quite limited depending on your location, making it difficult to find consistent work. In addition, there is little to no training provided before starting, so you are often expected to perform immediately without proper guidance.

The app states that there is a “three strikes” policy before account deactivation. However, in my experience, this was not followed as expected, and my account was deactivated much more quickly without clear warning or the opportunity to improve.

Because of this, the platform can feel quite unforgiving. There is very little feedback, support, or chance to learn from mistakes, which can be difficult, especially for those new to this type of work.

I would advise anyone considering this app to be cautious and fully understand the expectations before starting. While it can offer short-term experience, it may not provide the support, consistency, or job security that many users are looking for.

Overall, the concept is useful, but improvements are needed in transparency, training, and user support.

Stupid app

My phone number has changed and it says in order to update number I need to contact support; when I land on the support centre page, I am met with a chat bot, which only has three options which are far from relevant, and when I click on any of the options; it ends the conversation. It's weird it doesn't just allow me to update my phone number. Lazy workers, shameful company.

Unusable app and no means to contact

Following an ad on social media, downloaded to have a further look but when you go to create account it always leads to an error page and you are unable to create an account

Furthermore, the only way seek any support is through the same app that you cannot log in through.

If this is how they treat you before you even get in the door, then this sheds poor light on how they treat you inside, so not even worth wasting time on going further.

Fake

I could not add my work experience

Big time request to Stint

It’s a great concept. Any chance you have a student position for your dev team? Hire me as your intern???

Unfair rating from Business

I did a stint a couple days ago and I have an unfair rating even tho I did everything I was asked to do. And the worst thing is that you can’t dispute the claim if the business rates you bad

Unusable with no help team

I couldn’t even get started with this. The app wouldn’t let me ‘add my work experience’ as when I submitted answers to the questions I was taken back to the beginning as if I haven’t answered. App was fully up to date, submitted this to their tech team days ago and they don’t come back to you.
Literally no way to get in touch with any kind of human at stint so even if you did work and had any problems you’re screwed. It says ‘open the app and go to account>help>live chat but this sends you to an AI bot where you can’t even type anything in. You have to select from their 3 options and none of them go to speaking to anyone. Terrible app and literally zero customer service.?
