This app is extremely glitchy and difficult to use. Once you figure out how to jump thru their hoops and actually book work, you have to be careful with the location tracking. They pretty much only do warehouse jobs, and guess what? Nobody has a good signal in a warehouse and the app will sometimes log you out of your shift if it thinks you left the site. So be sure to check in with a supervisor every time you go on break and when you come back. They do pay exactly on schedule

This is the most annoying app ever. You apply for a job, they say you're accepted then they put you on a waitlist and the waitlist expires. They then randomly ask you to show up for a shift in like 15 minutes, like you're waiting in the parking lot of some random warehouse and if you decline that, you lose 'reliability' and they just just put you on the waitlist again.

I joined Traba years ago. I have yet to complete one shift because something always happens. Recently I scheduled 5 shifts. They canceled ALL of them to run my background check again. I tried to grab the shifts again but most were unavailable to me and I was waitlisted. I managed to sign up for 3 shifts and so far, they have canceled 2 of them. Both last minute. Disappointed does not even describe how I feel. It costs me money and work when they do this. They should pay in these cases.

Legit app. I have worked shifts through the app and gotten paid without issue. However, the amount of work available is patchy and hard to get a spot before the shift is full. Due to a recent update, the process for joining a shift has made the process even more difficult and unreliable. I have not been able to join a single shift since this update and as a result I am deleting the app.

Seems like an OK app but the shifts shown to me were over approximately an hour away by car, which is not feasible for most people. There is no way to select a range or radius from your profile zip code, nor is there any way to list multiple zip codes you're willing to work in. This seems to me like an obvious thing to include in an app like this, and yet it is absent.

It's very sad that I've been on this app for many months and not one shift worked. I've been fried from the cell radiation just staring at it for an update for your applied shift to not get a call for hours until I'm sleep from waiting so long to see if I'm going to work a shift. This is the only app I know like this and it's overwhelming to keep going through the same thing for a long time now. Please get your system together. Once you have so many batches cut it.

Not sure what is going on but in the last 24 hours all kinds of major glitching is happening . is there something going on with the app. when I go to the featured shifts it doesn't let me get past the Wednesday 11/26.. . it will flick back and forth automatically between the 23rd and 24th of November.. ,I already tried to uninstall and reinstall but that didn't work. I tried restarting my phone and leaving it off for 10 minutes and back on but the issue was still there

Job location is non existent. When you go to the "map" it doesn't even show you the job location just some random area where I guess it's supposed to be. Working on temp apps you are expected to be on time and punctual but they don't even list the address in plain english so I am afraid to even book in fear I might not be at the right location and get dinged for it. Rather simple to just list the physical address instead of some non functional map. They don't even list the business name. Weird.

Signed up last week. Really no room for a detailed resume' as I have plenty experience and great references. No immediate openings and always put on a wait-list. Then an opportunity opened and was scheduled to work a night shift for a certain date. Signed up for a background check and then never was notified yet when I got back on the app I saw that I was booted of the wait list. Also noticed that most jobs you are required to speak Spanish or it's a no go. Thought I lived in America???

The sign up was pretty easy. However, I've had this app for a month and haven't gotten a single offer. I'm really struggling right now and was hoping this app could help turn that around, boy was I wrong. Also, why does Strip have to log in to my bank account every day at 5am, I don't like it and seems kinda suspicious. Hopefully I can find better luck elsewhere. Save yourself the time and struggle, go find another app!

App has multiple errors. Receive a text saying that a shift is available to sign up for, open the app, and the shift isn't there. Their customer service constantly acts like the app doesn't have any issues at all and they refuse to take your complaints seriously. You'll be put on a wait-list and never hear any update regarding the wait-list again. This app is absolutely awful. If I could give it zero stars, I would. Also, you can never speak to a live person on the phone.

I'd give 0 stars if I could. I have not been able to sign up for a single shift because of some error, an error that doesnt even say what the error is, just that there was an error. THEN to top things off there's literally ZERO customer support, it's all pre selected questions and answers and nobody to talk to. WORST contracting app I've been on so far. Edit- thanks for the answer! Too bad you missed the last part of my review where I complain about te complete LACK of available contact options

Slow to pay and even slower to respond. A check im suppose to get Monday and still haven't gotten it on Friday. With messages sent and ignored everyday. And chats being closed without handling the problem which only gives me more problems on my end. And its clear that they don't care because they're checks are still coming in and they still getting paid. So your problems are your problems. Would not recommend working with this app! no work, you'll just be added to a waitlist, nd never called

The recruiters hardly reply back. They adjust your pay a week before they adjust everyone else's (probably because I am mexican) and the app is constantly tracking your location which drains battery and constantly sends you texts, notifications, and they call you multiple times each day with the automated calls. They also didn't tell me I only had work for 2 months. They also care more about attendance than the actual company. I DONT RECOMMEND THIS TEMP AGENCY.

Absolutely the worst! Never, not even once have there been any available shifts. Not until they call you 5 times in a row at 5am to try and get you to cover somebody else with less than 60 minutes of notice. This has happened consistently over the 30 days that I've been signed up. Do yourself a favor and skip the nightmare that Traba is. Other shift work platforms do a much better job. Choose one of them and save yourself the time and energy you will inevitably waste on this platform.

No matter what I do, I can not upload a photo to continue creating an account. I am following all of the guidelines and I can not proceed. I've taken multiple photos, tried using photos from my camera gallery and Google photos. Not a single one has gotten through! Very frustrated. A friend highly recommend this app and even sat with me to see if I was doing something wrong. He logged into his account and changed his picture without any problems. I am dumbfounded!!!

Did my first gig and the experience was not as great as I expected! 7 hours into the shift no lunch or breaks in sun & heat with only a bottle of water, litterly felt like I was gonna pass out. Another worker reached out for help and stated nothing they can do since the app did not mention breaks , this app needs a feature to rate jobs like other apps, so you know what you're getting yourself into. app say strip doesn't pay on weekends, I work another app who uses strip pays instant/next day.

So I sign up everything was smooth, until I had to submit the background check. The system tells me my account was not approved. there was some inconsistency with the background check. It's Saturday and apparently, I can't even communicate with a human being. They send you a message and you can't discuss with anyone. The AI bot is useless, just gives you limited options that have nothing to do with what you need. And then it gives you a cookie cutter answer. Zero help.

I keep getting no shows for gigs I don't sign up for on the Traba App. I have also been placed on wait lists some how unbenounced to me and have been restricted from the account for 7 day periods. I have only been able to successfully sign up for 1 10 hour shift and complete as assigned so far. However while I was at the worksite the entire time and fulfilled my assignments and duties on time, the App rated me as 78% active while at that assignment. My work was above par & the Supervisor agreed.

Installed & tried setting up an account but I never got the code to confirm my phone#. I uninstalled/reinstalled, issue still there. I even tried using a different email/phone nope. I got stuck at the same screen every time. If you're going to create an app, at least make it work. At least it didn't work during set up & not while I'm waiting to hear back about a job.
