Ratings and reviews

I'm still unable to send pictures and videos to clients through the app on my google pixe from one of the updatesl. This is very frustrating when trying to adhere to client requests for photos and updates. When I click the camera icon it goes to my gallery but none of my photos show up. This has been an issue for over a few months now and no updates to fix it.

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.
