Taskrabbit for Pc

Just used TR to move shelving units from my friend’s apartment to mine. The whole experience was great and the app was easy to use (and I work at a tech company!). The notifications work properly (important!) and you can leave/read reviews for potential suggestions. I read almost every review before deciding on a TR and I had a really easy and efficient time with my task. So I’m shocked at all the negative reviews on here - take a minute to do your research and you won’t be disappointed. That said, because this is the App Store, one feature/UX suggestion I have would be to move the search to the header rather than at the bottom on Home as I actually had no idea it existed for most of the time I’ve had this app downloaded. Also, I wish you could set your TR results to sort the same way every time (I wanted price from low to high instead of recommended - it was annoying having to toggle that each time I searched a new time or date). Lastly, it would be more convenient to enter any promo codes in settings vs. after you’ve booked a task and are ready to checkout - especially since other sharing economy apps have conditioned us to do it this way. Other than those three things, can’t really complain and would use again!

I booked a tasker to help transport and set up chairs/decorations for our small wedding ceremony. From the beginning, my tasker was super unresponsive. Then there were technical issues with the app which caused the tasker not to get a notification about my request, in spite of the fact that on my end, the request showed as received. Not sure if this is some kind of software bug, but long story short, we needed the tasker at 2:30 and couldnt get the issue resolved until after 1, by which time, the tasker had stopped responding to my messages all together and left us scrambling. Additionally, there were no other taskers available in our area on such short notice. Husband and MIL ended up setting up everything themselves and as a result, our wedding was late and everyone had to spend the afternoon scrambling (as they of course had to go home, shower and change before the ceremony after setting up chairs). Bottom line, this app may be okay for getting someone to help out with some random task that can be done whenever (like raking leaves) but if you need help with something that requires help at a specific time (like event set up or moving) id say this app is a hard pass. Im extremely disappointed and will definitely never use this app again.

This company has total extravagant prices . Some charge over $100 per hour work and require a minimum of 2 hours. I used a Jospeh B the first time I was new at task rabbit he is young and wanted to help so I put a nice review. He became my handyman after and took over 18 hrs to mount simple staff bed. Dresser desk and a rope for curtain in bedroom was mounted wrong 3 times in 4 hrs. Another handyman came yesterday and took him 15 min to mount same rope . This handyman was cheaper $32 per hour and took so long to do the smallest job. He is stubborn is his way even if he has no clue what he is doing . I ended up paying him more than all the furniture I got cost wise and still mostly in boxes . Don’t use him. He needs to hook up with an experienced handyman for serious time before he can take on jobs adding that he is NOT A HANDY MAN . After 5 visits he finally said he will bring the right drill since he could not make a hole in a cement wall and blamed the wall for that. The issue is that he doesn’t have the drill and holes were not properly made. He did not used anchors so all gave in open and all walll had to be fixed to add holes again. Unreal . Task rabbit is not even aware of the personal experience. Anyone can apply to be an employee at task rabbit. My building handyman does much better for a tip and they were amazed how poorly the work was done

I’ve known about task rabbit for years now ever since I first moved to New York City about five years ago. The idea of the service is really great and I even made some money myself when I was working for this app early on. However, since this app is owned by IKEA, it’s a little disappointing seeing that such a large company with the kind of revenue they have put so little effort into making sure the user experience with in the app itself is seamless. Checking Tasker reviews for example is not seamless because the reviews tend to carry over from one Tasker to another and so I may be wanting to see what Tasker Anthony is all about but Maria and her reviews are still showing up. Or in another case if I am trying to book a cleaning task and I want to look specifically for deep cleaners to be sure that they have their own equipment, the app doesn’t give me an option to actually choose deep clean it it’s only displayed by time expected to be spent on the task. So it’s a great idea for a service overall and my experience with individual taskers and their jobs have been great but the execution of the app still has a lot of room for improvement.
