User Reviews

Overall sentiment is mixed: users find Care.com useful for hiring caregivers, and some call the app 'great' or 'convenient.' However, recurring problems dominate: painful pricing/paywalls (subscription to view messages, extra charges like background checks, sometimes double-billing), frequent crashes and slow performance, onboarding/login issues, and weak search/UX. Messaging access is gated behind payment, and customer support is inconsistent. The service itself is appreciated, but app reliability and opaque pricing heavily detract from the experience.

Pros

Useful caregiver-hiring service provided by the app
App is perceived as useful/good by some users and some call it great
Convenient to access/hire through the mobile app

Cons

High pricing and paywalls, including subscription to view messages and extra charges (background checks, etc.)
Billing issues like double charges and poor refund handling
Frequent crashes, freezes, and slow performance
Login/onboarding problems (forced sign-in method, login loops, sign-in failures)
Poor search/UX with broad results and lack of filtering; limited categorization

Recent reviews

My Mom purchased a subscription to obtain a desperately needed caregiver for life safety.The app allowed Her to post Her job but will not allow Her to respond to applicants. I attempted to help Her by calling and messaging numerous times,they have made no attempt to resolve the issue. It will not allow Her to provide verification even with camera and microphone permissions on the app.They didn't request additional verification to take my Mom's money. They should be ashamed for fleecing seniors

Can't get into the apps and I paid my money I think i need a refund

I bought a month subscription. my money was taken, but I'm unable to use the app due to verification. I have allowed permission for the microphone and camera. I have restarted my phone, the app and hit try again many times. the entire process of this app was annoying to set up and I am frustrated I went through all the steps to still not be able to use it.
