I have not had this long enough to really rate it.
Frustrating because there was no way to talk with someone by telephone. Especially when I needed to talk with someone about paying for this service. Because I coudn't talk to someone to answer my questions, I could have missed out on something because I decided to just skip it. I didn't want to click anything because it wasn't clear to me I would be charged for something I might have not wanted.
Shouldnt have to pay extra for background checks. If I find an alternative website I will use it.
The app doesn't work. I keep getting an error when I try to edit my profile. Very frustrating.

Too many up front questions and too many add ons. Why do I need to ask for a background check of a potential tutor... YOU should be doing that to protect your brand.

Had trouble getting a password reset online. I had to send an email and then waited two days to hear back from someone who could help me over the phone
People should not have to pay just to send a care provider a message.

** Seniors and Consumers Beware **
This organization has the least regard for privacy and protection of seniors. It requires senseless information from you so that they can resell publisher or disseminate for money your personal information when all you wanted to do was to get price quotes for services for seniors from company's you may not even choose or want to do business with! Multiple back-and-forth with this company shows a complete disregard for privacy rights security and protection of seniors today which is a critical problem. I would not use this organization I would run from any attempt to sign up for this organization they diss value seniors they do not protect or secure your information and are only doing this for profit run from this organization.

UI is clunky and difficult to navigate. 100s of care takers in the area, but few appear to be currently active.

The user interface is not very intuitive and it constantly refreshes the screen to the default home page. Please pay more attention to the user experience.
