I use Upwork a lot, every day. Is an excellent app to find great specialists in multiple areas, who are highly experienced. Upwork has carefully thought through the user's needs, has a user-friendly interface, and as a user I am able to easily manage my contractors. There are many, many qualified professionals to choise from, and easy to qualify. I use on both my phone and my laptop. Highly recommended.

I'm a remote worker I'm not sure if it's the internet connection sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't work. I'll fill out a milestone and then the information is lost, I have to do it again, or I end up just going to the website on my phone and not using the app. This is time consuming and annoying. I wish setting milestones was easier and I didn't have do over
