I cancelled subscription but they took another payment for another month also , I closed my account and still cutting money
It's been a good app for a bit of extra income, it's a good idea and way to connect with people, although I wish after the date of the books has passed to not end the contact because it could be for future opportunities. The app in general works well , then the other part is the people with whom you coordinate. Thank you .
Just downloaded the app.. And posted my first tour rate. Let's see if I could get any job from here.. BTW, the idea is impressive and have plenty of space to grow. Love the simple layout, and about the payment, ido wish there's an option like using Uber/Grab apps. And you can earn from percentage of jobs we received.. Bla Bla Bla.. 😍😅👍
I don't like that i have to subscribe to be able to request a local. If they don't reach out(which they can't without sub) then its pointless. I don't even know if they will respond. The reviews locals get does not State the date when they received it, so I don't know how fresh these reviews are. More needs to be done with this service policy.
Used to use this app a lot and I don't mind paying the locals for showing me around, but to charge money to even send a message to people whom in most cases don't even respond to you, is absolutely ridiculous, what is this? Tinder? Uninstall and will never come back. Worst business model ever.
