I am so vivid right now because I spent 1+ hours puting thought and effort into making my account just for it to say my account never existed. When I finished it I sent my self a email to verify it and it asked me to log in and when I tried it said my email did not have a account when it was the same email I sent the verification email to. I do not appreciate my time being wasted.

It freezes/crashes often, the app doesn't have as many capabilities as the desktop version. When doing a search, the refine tool doesn't work When it comes to excluding or specifying results

Beth Bivens

Too many flaws with the app. How the jobs are listed/organized definitely needs improvement - it's easier to filter through the jobs on the website itself.

You have to be careful because people are running scams on this site. Don't give your personal information. That is not how this site works.

Adrian Fedczak

It is an ok app, I can find local jobs, but I think it's ridiculous that I have to pay to apply for those jobs.

Daniel Rosing

Very cumbersome useless difficult to contact nannies old system was hard enp2ugh now another layer of compelxity

Awful...fails to load data without restarting app, layout stinks. They need to hire better developers

Kaitlyn Baldwin September 19, 2017

This is such a clean, well-organized, efficient app, I have only great things to say about it! I never have any problems with it, it is very intuitively designed, and has become an essential--and galvanizing--part of my freelancing. Well done!!

Nina QT September 10, 2017

Not search friendly. Not user friendly. The potential is there, just needs to improve user friendliness. Have gotten quality work though.

daniel kiernan September 17, 2017

Absolute junk. If there was a viable alternative I'd be using it.

Yvette Liggins September 17, 2017

Well since I first started my profile I did not get anyone sending me back messages but you have to be patient so far it's an ok app

nicole schofield September 9, 2017

Being able to share contact information is vitaI I pay to use the service and if we need to connect via telephone we can't.

Emerald Williams September 13, 2017

I won't get my messages for hours after they're sent. I'll even check my inbox and there is nothing there

Tracy Haluza September 10, 2017

You can't get any jobs til you pay 1st

Justine Boyce September 18, 2017

I usually love this app but it keeps booting me out from an "unexpected error".

joy luna September 8, 2017

Still using it. I like it . Thought there would be more opportunities than what I've seen. I do about everything I can for work on here.

Tristin Saarie September 13, 2017

It does work and you can set up interviews right from your phone on the app!

Kesh Patel September 19, 2017

Please fix bugs on Oreo!

Juliette o September 15, 2017

The app is fine. This service is not worth paying for.

Evelyn Chealey September 11, 2017

Its an amazing way to advertise and market yourself

Joanna Hart September 16, 2017

Very professional. Great app!

September 10, 2017

Very good app.

Kim Oshinski September 17, 2017

Great app

Ligaya Rebolos September 2, 2017

Unreliable app and bad business acumen... The very first time I used this app- the CareChat did not deliver my messages and then duplicated sending it after a couple of minutes. It is a horrible way to coordinate with potential employers and Care needs to remedy this ASAP!

Phil Rosenfeld August 17, 2017

Good but not great. This app is good in concept but some of the mechanics of it are clunky. Cannot sort messages to show only incoming responses, care chat has yet to be utilized by any of my clients, too many button presses required to review the job associated with a particular message. Additional work from programmers to refine these and other aspects of the app would go a long way to enhancing its usability.

Andrea Mitchell August 28, 2017

I absolutely HATE this app now. You can't even use it unless you pay. I have been using this app for years and they have never made me pay but now all of a sudden you can't use the app unless you pay. It's ridiculous!!😡😡

Abigail Arel September 5, 2017

The app was OK until the background check flagged me and I could no longer access my messages. I had issues, I went to treatment, people change. But I no- showed an interview today because I couldn't check to see what time the interview was. So don't even bother with this if you have a single charge on your record.

Theresa Rose August 28, 2017

The mobile app doesn't have as many features as the full site and is rather cumbersome to use (as is the site). While this works for my general needs, I cannot perform any type of customized searches or save any jobs I may be interested. I hope this can be changed to make this more user-friendly.

Heather Koester August 17, 2017

Update today, could not open the app at all. App is otherwise good, very easy to use. Also beware of pet sitter scam, I've gotten two requests from two different users with the same story, relocating from out of state. Total scam.

Tj Dvorak August 27, 2017

Worst app ever. Doesn't let me update my profile just stuck at the beginning. I can't even apply for jobs.

Kelly Froelich September 3, 2017

Great choice of caregivers but so slow and does not sync up well which is frustrating when you have to communicate through the app and can't just exchange phone numbers. Also wish you could see more clearly how far candidates live from you. Concept is good, technology is behind.

Krystal Dowd September 5, 2017

It's very annoying how on the app when you select "new jobs only", old jobs still show up and let you apply again. You constantly run the risk of spamming families. EDIT: Now on the app you can't scroll down past "This is what this family needs:", makes the app completely unusable

Mike McClure September 1, 2017

Good features but very buggy. Reports 'unable to load messages' more often than not. Cannot scroll to the bottom of new messages. Removes phone numbers from messages.

Megan Tucker September 5, 2017

Its easy enough, if there is any issues it isnt the sites fault, rather the "families" contacting you. Good site. Met the families I've been nannying with for the past 5 years on here.

Keely Grice August 26, 2017

I am going to give this app five stars because it is a very good app, but so far I have encountered 2 false/spam accounts so I think that needs to be looked at more carefully.

Kaylamarie Bergam August 21, 2017

I liked it at first! Very easy to use and efficient. However, now when I go to log in, the app shuts down. Fix this for 5 stars!

Kristen Reed August 29, 2017

The website is great, but the app is terrible. It's really glitchy and constantly crashing.

Isabella Lungu August 26, 2017

The schedules for families are really glitchy and they don't update. Date night postings are also messed up, there's no info avaliable for most of them. PLEASE FIX THIS I CANNOT SEE THE TIMES FAMILIES WANT ON DATE NIGHTS.

Ronald McGalliard August 30, 2017

It seems to be working, so far... that's about all I can comment on as of the moment..since I just installed it. I haven't had time to make a judgement call on your app. As, of now, maybe later...
