Ratings and reviews

The app is good so far, but too basic. It doesn't give you the option to cancel an accepted visit, the only option is to confirm. You can always cancel the visit, but you will get penalized and they won't show you future visits in your area for a while. But, they don't tell you this. The payment is very low taking in consideration all the driving and all the chores and task we do a day for each client. Also, there should be a minimum of 3 hours required per visit. 1 or 2 hours it's not worthy.

I love the company and the purpose, but the APP, it crashes a lot, it doesn't move as fast, when you want to go back and forth on the scheduling it changes the papas out of order or it goes to the map mode, where it shows one appointment at a time with the location in a big map, yes it's helpful, but a little annoying. It definitely needs work!! Especially when you waste time trying to fix it, I have to restart the app over and over, uninstall/Reinnstall over and over. Other than that, it's ok.

The app hasn't worked right since I downloaded it over a year ago and has continued to get worse with time. Jobs don't show up, app glitches and you can't "clock in" or start commute. You have to go back and forth with the company to get paid correctly... I'm still waiting for mileage for my last two visits. I've been sent to incorrect addresses (I'm talking 30 minutes away from correct location) and then not paid mileage for driving an hour. At this point it's not worth trying to get visits.
