Ratings and reviews

It loops me to the website but then won't let me select things (like if I try to click on a person listed under browse caregivers it loops me back to the main page). I almost can't seem to use the app at all, it just sends me to the website, which is also terrible. If the app seems to start to try to work it keeps asking me for my childrens' ages every time as if I have never filled in anything before. This is besides them making you post jobs and sending messages you didn't want to send.

Not consistently accurate, App freezing up, and slow to refresh. Not as many candidates as advertised, plus there are sitters and nannies that advertise to be hired, but haven't been active in months. The app is slow and lagging, the website runs a bit smother but still not the greatest. It takes about 20 min. or so for anything to refresh, including messages. There is no customer service contact for no shows and you still get charged for the services, even when a sitter is a no call, no show.

This app is effective, but not efficient. I was able to review many applicants for a position, but it was not easy to do once the applicants started pouring in. When you "delete" unqualified applicants, your thread with them keeps popping back into your lineup, making it extremely difficult to keep track of who you really are or are not interested in. I found myself constantly re-reviewing applicants, which was very time-consuming.
