Used this app for various services recently. Not disappointed one bit. Found professionals every time. Only complaint is it currently doesn't show you all unavailable options as well to see if you might want to change your schedule to meet other people to work with. You currently have to continually modify your search to get a few more options.

Got tree trimming help that I needed. Looking forward to getting help with more such jobs. Taking a star off for the difficulty around navigation within the app. E.g. It was not intuitive at all that to rate and review a contractor for their work I needed to open the chat box where I texted with them back and forth. I bet many contractors miss out on reviews because customers can't find this most of the time.

Really impressive user interface. I anticipated some kind of set back because finding movers felt like a chore, but this app took all of that agonizing pain out of it. The overall experience was easy and didn't feel sketchy. Never heard of this app before. The movers we talked to referred us to this, and glad they did. This app service is a keeper.

Great concept but the app is garbage. After installing, it requires I verify my email. I click on the link that says "Go to the app" but get an error message "Sorry, looks like there was an error completing your reuest." Called customer service which is based overseas and they have not idea. Massive waste of time. Just look for the best providers on Yelp and bypass this not-ready-for-prime-time app. Extremely dissapointing.

I really love the idea and actually use it! That said, the app is super clunky, doesnt give clear directions to follow through/hire service providers and the user experience suffers tremendously. I feel like I'm flying blind most of the time when hiring someone, so its a good thing talented providers are in their network because everything is left up to them. With some tweaking, this app/service could be the industry leader...get it together Thumbtack!

This app is incredibly intuitive, easy, and extremely helpful. It aggregates all feedback and useful information from multiple sources, and gathers professionals in every field I need. I've used competitors before and never had any luck (slow/no responses, inability to find the right match, poor interface...), but so far I've set up three services through the Thumbtack app and could not be happier! Very fast responses, easy to find ratings, and almost any service you could need!

Using the website was kind of extra work...typing, scrolling, connecting. I've downloaded the app now. Maybe that will shorten the process. The work done by CH Lisc. Screening was EXCELLENT!! They kept in touch, worked steadily at a quick but not rushed pace, left NO mess and were some of the nicest gentlemen I've ever met! It's nice to see thumbtack has a large variety of products in ONE place. I'll be using alot of their services.

A confusing mess. I submitted a project. Then I received names of four contractors. Entered app on laptop, but told that there it doesn't recognized me. Entered by phone, and my project had disappeared. Meanwhile, I'm getting emails from contractors sent to my email account, but I cant access them without logging into app. Once in app, it's all gone. Deleting.

I love this app! It's the only thing I use to connect with professionals for household needs, etc. Other apps/sites actually have people calling and bombarding your phone. I like that you can keep the messaging in the app. The review system helps to decide if a professional is what I'm looking for. Everything about this app just makes processes so streamlined. Also, it gives small businesses a fair shot, all are equal just based on who does the best job as far as ratings, no fancy advertising.

This app is not user friendly. I would pick a Pro and ot would give me 3 extra Pros to look at. That's fine but if I didn't like the 3 Pros they listed I can't see more. I tried just surfing for Pros and I started a new task and it saved the task when all I was trying to do was see a complete list of Pros to select from. My inbox tells me I have a msg. I open all the msgs and it's still says I have one unread. I can't save Pros or highlight any as Favorite either.

Overall, Thumbtack has been a lifesaver! It's such a smart idea and the app is pretty easy to use. I've had a few jobs successfully completed and will continue to use it. However, I wish there were a way to signal to other companies that you've found who you're going with. Additionally, sometimes the conversation moves to text and Thumbtack doesn't know this and keeps notifying you to respond tp their message.

I've used the Thumbtack app on two occasions when I needed some local movers. The app is easy to use. Thus far, the contractors have been pretty responsive, and I really like the fact that the app allows you to have direct communication with the contractors which allows you to better communicate the services you need and negotiate rates (something the Bunji app does not allow, which is a huge turn off). I would definitely recommend Thumbtack to others and will continue to use it myself.

App is buggie. When typing the keyboard jumps so that you end up misspelling words. Why am I prompted with a "make a payment" button when just messaging back an forth. List of choices is not realistic. For example, I was looking for a fence repair. My fence choice was wood, aluminum or I don't know. No PvC! The app is really lacking real usefulness. I could go on but there won't be enough room.

Like the idea of this app, but it could use a little work. It would be nice if there was a way to validate the licensure of contractors without having to ask each time. I don't like asking as I think it gives an impression of distrust or skepticism off the bat. If this was part of each pro's profile, that would really make things easier. Also, for some reason, I don't get new message notifications despite having push notifications enabled. I frequently have to recheck the app as a result.

I have been using Thumbtack for closer to 2 years. The app is updated frequently and becomes less user friendly with each update. I receive a ton of emails from Thumbtack but not when a pro is actually reaching out to me. Lately I have had to hunt those down. Also, I am offered a limited list of contractors (that I'm sure have paid an extra fee) to contact for each inquiry. I see the same contractors regardless of the gig. I don't mind prioritization but it would be great to have more options.

Very easy to use App. You can get in contact with responsive technicians/maintenance pros without sharing your personal data until you reach an agreement on the job/project to be performed. It is much faster than the "List" and you can take care of everything using just your cellphone (no need for a laptop). Again, super fast and convenient y will use this App a lot!!!!

i used to create a project and get contacted by pros and could easily find the best fit for the job. they changed how it works now and makes finding someone for a project 10 times harder after update. you have to select one person at a time and send them the info. I'm not sure why Thumbtack would worsen the experience overtime, seems counterintuitive....going to look for other options

I am a pro on this app. I have started to hate it with a passion. Used to be bearable. It's gotten way worse. There's many glitches in the app. A LOT! Besides that, the lead prices have gone up. Instant book was the downfall of this app. The algorithm for it is stupid. The feature in itself is disliked by both pros and customers. Many leads domt go anywhere and u don't even gets responses back from customers. Many leads r ridiculous, fake, duplicates, etc and u can't get refunded. $12-1600montly

Why do you have the option to send pics and a message for quote, only to be able to tell immediately from the people I sent it to, they didn't get any of the stuff I wasted my time doing that your app directed?? I had to complete the request twice because your app had a glitch and didn't send my first request, then realize the 2nd time was just as big a waste. Good idea, but it doesn't work. I'm not giving my address to all these random people just to get an estimate for lawn mowing and a trim.

Virtually every hire from here has been a resounding success. All work done was at least satisfactory. Very few non responsive individuals. Favorite hires: wedding makeup and hair, muralist, piano lessons, kayak pulley installation, and bistro lighting installation, home painting. Hope that gives you an idea of the breadth of what Thumbtack can help you with!
