Ratings and reviews

1. Seems like rover does a bait and switch. When I searched before signing up it showed me some profiles that were really enticing (lots of great reviews and repeat bookings), but after signing up those suddenly disappeared. 2. Booking someone is hard. People don't seem to update their availability and so despite contacting 6 or 7 different people they all said they couldn't do it that day at that time. 3. The Android back button doesn't navigate back. Why? Expected and simple design pattern.

This app makes no sense. The first thing I did was block off on my calendar days I wouldn't be in town. When someone booked me (for a recurring appointment), it didn't automatically remove those appointments from the schedule. So then I tried to cancel in advance but you can't even do that, you can literally only cancel the week of. But even when I tried to do that it said I had to keep at least one appointment on the schedule. This needs to be fixed.

They have made vast improvements since the last one I made, which is good. The only complaint I have is that they need to make it easier to cancel last minute in weekly bookings. I find it inconvenient to have to reach out to support every time the owner and I have reached in agreement to cancel specific date , not the whole bookin Stuff happens ( illness ,accident ) and feels that rover does not take that in consideration. Modification should not be this difficult
