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.

The service is great! But the app keeps getting worse, harder to use, more convolluted, there's no app feedback in-app, and not all features are available on the website. it would be better if they hadn't changed anything since 2016. they've added "stuff", filler, weird steps, mandatory fees that you can't opt out of, and can't even update more than one day at a time of my calendar beyond "available/unavailable", and even getting to editing the calendar is almost unuseable cuz of guis jumping

Rover's newest updates refuse to send messages and it lost me a job. I was having tech issues, so I messaged someone I wouldn't be at our M&G until 30 minutes later. They didn't get my message for 40 minutes, until they were at the location, and said they weren't going to wait 30 minutes. I didn't get their message until I was almost at the location. They decided not to have me even though it was a messaging issue. PLEASE fix this. This is a communication app and it's not working.
