Really not a great set up experience. I was forced to create an account through email and password instead of signing in with Google. Clearly shortcuts have been taken on the QA side. Not sure why permissions have to be set through the settings panel when every other app on the market is able to push a prompt to the user when it needs new permissions. Overall lazy feel to it, and I would recommend using the website entirely.

I wanted to find a caregiver. Signed up for the subscription. Got stuck in some weird loop. I can't even access the account to cancel the subscription! You have to download one app for caregivers and one to find jobs. Years ago I looked for a job and registered with the site. I was told to go back and use another email to search for caregivers. Now I can't get into either application via the app they keep telling me to download even though I am USING the app!!!! so frustrating.

If I could give this app and company zero stars I would. Had a time sensitive need to hire a nanny and bought a monthly membership. Got stuck in a verification loop on the app, website, tried using Mac and PC and various browsers. nothing worked. Spoke with customer service 3 times and essentially got "did you turn it off and back on" level of assistance. Asked for a refund and was told I didn't qualify for one despite never being able to communicate with a caregiver once. Beyond disappointed
