UrbanSitter Customer Insights

1. This way, if parents book via text message or phone call, the sitter can still keep their schedule all in one place, allowing them the ability to stay organized.Very expensive, yet still buggy (?) + scammy unsubscribe practices... This app is not a good value, and we plan to only use it long enough to find a few nearby sitters to book outside the app.

2. I asked for a refund for the new charge since I am not going to use their service but was denied any consideration.I am sitter, and I had a profile on this app, but it just stopped working right when everything was perfect; I found very nice families, and had such a great experience looking after children.

3. 2) Enter the app and it won't connect to my account or show my activity 3) perform a search, go to message a sitter and when I go back it takes me out to my home so I have to search again.App works great and is easy to use.

4. Most common (as in they happen frequently) are: 1) tried to schedule an interview/job of some kind, finished entering time and hit enter, the whole thing disappears and takes me back to my account so I have to start over.

5. Even worse, they don't inform you of that until after you've set up a profile, posted a job, searched sitters, typed out your message to a sitter, etc.

6. This app has potential, but they need to be more up front about the cost of the service.Love the service (so far), hate the app! I've had several issues working in the app.

7. Not cool.You can't contact or book a sitter without paying the nearly $40 monthly fee.

8. One functionality I would like that it doesn't seem to have is the ability to schedule jobs from the sitter's end.

9. Also, if I favorite a sitter in their profile, they don't show up in my favorites.

10. Very poorly designed, with looping/repetitive prompts and unclear steps for basic things like managing active booking requests and sending messages.

11. The service urbansitter provides is much needed and while not cheap the annual fee is reasonable if you're using the service with regularity.
