I used TaskRabbit successfully for several tasks a couple of years ago. After that, I started having trouble with getting the Taskers to actually complete the task. I’d book them, and then a day or so before they were supposed to show up, they’d cancel. I’d book another tasker. They’d cancel, too. I saw on a discussion forum on Quora that many others have had the same issue. I’m giving this app one more try. If this Tasker cancels on me, I’m done. Easy app…but not easy to get a Tasker to actually show up I used TaskRabbit successfully for several tasks a couple of years ago.

This app is absolutely insane. I was charged a $90 cancelation fee for a task that my tasked blatantly said he was unable to complete. I did not choose him. I was assigned a tasked, explained the task in chat, he said he could not do it, so we cancelled. And I was charged a fee for what? Messaging someone in an app and being told they weren’t capable of the task I thoroughly described when booking it? This policy is absolutely insane. They offered me a credit, but why would I want to risk trying to hire another person just to be told they can’t do it either? The tasker did not even come to my house! He made nearly $100 from me to have a two message chat exchange where he said he couldn’t complete the job. Extortionate beyond belief. Also Bruce the customer service person was condescending and completely unhelpful. “Cancellation fee” for them not being able to complete the task This app is absolutely insane.
