DO NOT USE
So first off, like Uber/Lyft/other apps where people apply to work, they take a HUGE cut of all of their Taskers hourly rates. Secondly, I unfortunately lost my young dog to cancer, all while having to move and changing jobs, so when a tasker lightly rear ended me, and I could tell he was sorry and there were no marks on my car I didn’t complain. When a different tasker dropped a wine rack out of his truck and it broke in half, I was only moving it into a storage unit and didn’t have the mental capacity to file a claim. The true devastating part, is two of the taskers were moving my brand new, expensive TV up a spiral stair case (yes a difficult move), but they set it down and I tried to get my life together for the next two months. It was then I noticed the huge crack in my TV. Completely broken. Task rabbit said I “only had 30 days to report. Sorry. Here is $50 credit for another task.” So yes, I should’ve checked right away, but I was dealing with a lot and was never told my the Taskers that they cracked my tv (breaking my wine rack and hitting my car must’ve been enough). Just hire a reputable moving company.

No dark mode?
Works fine, but surprising at this point that it doesn't support dark mode.
Tasker is a dating site
No one ever showed up to my scheduled New Tasker Workshop. I’ve received on two task requests and both were for sex. The jobs make no sense and the clients never have profile pics. The task requests are full of innuendos. The first was an old lady and the second was a gay Latino. Tasker is a scam. Don’t waste your time.

COI should be mentioned …
This is a very user friendly app. Very convenient. Easy to get in touch with taskers.
However, I don’t know about all New Yorkers living in modern to pre-war type apartment buildings, but a COI, Certificate of Insurance, is required from the tasker BEFORE entering the client’s apartment and doing the task that he/she is assigned to do. The doorman will ask for it.
That being said, I have encountered some issues with hiring some taskers. Some taskers do not know what it is. Others, I will want to book, but can’t bc they don’t have a COI.😑
That observation being said, I’d like to offer a recommendation:
1) Include a section in the tasker’s profile where it mentions that they have proof of a COI.
2) And or, someone can write a blog about what, why and how to obtain it. This way, it saves the taskers and the task rabbit’s time and energy when they do eventually “Chat.”
3) Another idea is for the tasker to upload a photo of the COI.
Overall, I am happy with the app. Hope the suggestion is helpful.

taskers often cancel or no show
On multiple occasions, I have had a task rabbit no show and/or cancel at the last minute. This is extremely frustrating if you have planned your day around it. The chat becomes disabled and there is no way to review the tasker. Needless to say I’m giving up on the app. The app itself is otherwise pretty functional.
