Top Pcmac Reviews

Poorly engineered app for a subpar marketplace

By Double7Oh (Pcmac user)

First, my primary pet peeve is that the app will log you out after some time of inactivity. I understand that this is for security reasons, but the fact that this app’s site and mobile apps have poor integration with password managers like iCloud and Dashlane means I’m always having to reset my password. Tangentially, why are there restrictions on the characters I can use for my password? A second year computer science student can design a password input that accepts all characters. The second pet peeve I have is with the Freelancer app itself. There’s a glaring bug where individual search results are impossible to interact with. I can’t tap more to expand the summary section of the project unless I go back then retry the search. Overall, my experience with the poor app and lackluster project selection has lead me to move on past this app. It seems that freelancers can be successful, but only after significant effort to get started on their part. I wouldn’t recommend this app to anyone seeking to freelance part time.
High Fees & Slow Payments - other than that Great!

By Ashley JG (Pcmac user)

First off, the app its self or fairly user friendly and the contract process is very smooth. Communicating within the app exclusively is rather difficult once a project is underway. But my biggest complaint is the high fees the app takes (20% on the first $500 and 10% offer that) so there isn’t a real incentive to seek multiple new clients at one time. And then to finally get paid, the money is already paid by the client but then held in an account until the project is complete. Once you submit payment approval and the client okays it, it takes 3-5 business days to credit to your this app account where you then half to transfer it to your bank and even an ACH transfer connected directly to one’s bank takes 3-7 business days... so Your money is sitting there for almost 2 weeks. Horrible!
This app lacks functionality

By Stage&Set (Pcmac user)

Im not sure why this app needs two apps- one for hiring managers and one for freelancers, it seems a bit excessive to me. Not to mention, I’ll get a notification that I have a message and when I open the app, its a blank white screen. I always have to close the app then re-open it so I can read or respond to messages. Seems a bit ridiculous that someone whose base is 30+% IT would have an app with glitches. Additionally, since I had an active contract, I had not applied to other contracts. So Uwpork made my profile private. Thats not fair to hiring manager or freelancers. How can hiring managers source top or rising talent if they cannot see profiles? How are you providing a good experience to your freelancers if our profiles are private and then we have to PAY to make ourselves public again? Since I work on both sides of the platform; both as a hiring manager and a freelancer, I can say with absolutely certainty, once my contracts are up, I will not be back.
So buggy

By Gniliem (Pcmac user)

Honestly, this app is so buggy that I haven’t bothered to shift over from the old one (which isn’t that much better). Every time I get a message and I open the app to look at it, one of two things happens: 1) the app crashes, or 2) I get a blank white screen and have to close and reopen it. Since the main point of getting the app was to check my messages on the go, this makes things terribly inconvenient. Also, a number of other reviewers have already mentioned this, but the high percentage this app takes from freelancers makes it less viable for real high-quality freelancers to remain on this platform. Combined with the $ it costs to buy Connects just to bid on new jobs now, this app is becoming less and less attractive. It’d be better to set the % based on a freelancer’s total lifetime earnings rather than per client - you already know that those freelancers have a good track record on this app, so might as well reward them for remaining on the platform.
