Thumbtack Customer Insights

1. Thus far, the contractors have been pretty responsive, and I really like the fact that the app allows you to have direct communication with the contractors which allows you to better communicate the services you need and negotiate rates (something the Bunji app does not allow, which is a huge turn off).

2. Required fields for catering service are very rigid and limiting, no way to search for what I was looking for or be flexible (eg pick breakfast lunch or dinner, no option for afternoon tea or "other")I've used Thumbtack for more than 7 years now.

3. I'm not sure why Thumbtack would worsen the experience overtime, seems counterintuitive....going to look for other optionsVery easy to use App.

4. (Based off of some bad experiences I've heard that contractors had with people who hired them)Feels like it's all driven by paid ads, which means if you've already ruled out the top paid listings, accessing anything else is hard.

5. Additionally, sometimes the conversation moves to text and Thumbtack doesn't know this and keeps notifying you to respond tp their message.I've used the Thumbtack app on two occasions when I needed some local movers.

6. I frequently have to recheck the app as a result.Overall, Thumbtack has been a lifesaver! It's such a smart idea and the app is pretty easy to use.

7. Also, I am offered a limited list of contractors (that I'm sure have paid an extra fee) to contact for each inquiry.

8. I would definitely recommend Thumbtack to others and will continue to use it myself.i used to create a project and get contacted by pros and could easily find the best fit for the job.

9. If anything changes, I'll keep you posted.I have been using Thumbtack for closer to 2 years.

10. I click on the link that says "Go to the app" but get an error message "Sorry, looks like there was an error completing your reuest." Called customer service which is based overseas and they have not idea.

11. The app has been absolutely indispensable in finding contractors for various projects around the apartment that I own/manage.
