Has to be one of the least user friendly experiences for booking ever. Has you plug in the service needed, the dates, time, and your location. Displays a big list of providers! But you click on the provider and it's either "They are out of range" or "they are fully booked" and then prompts you to "find sitters in your range" or "find sitters with availability" just to give you the same list of unavailable people.

I've used it a few times, and it is very time-consuming to find a sitter. I'm okay sifting through all the listings, but the app lacks critical filter criteria. For example, there should be a filter for the last time sitter updated their calendar. I've sent several boarding requests where the sitter calendar showed as available, but a majority of the replies were "sorry I'm not available." There should also be a way to block some sitters to ensure that they no longer appear in my searches.

Slow, unresponsive. Buggy; I'm a brand new user and have already encountered two instances of freezes and a refusal to upload photos that required me to restart my device entirely. Calendar is obtuse and difficult to use and manage; why not just allow us to display exact availability by time each day instead of giving us slots of activity? Push notifications are extremely flaky and sometimes don't pop off at all so make sure you have both text and email notifications active.
