User Reviews

Reviews praise the app for real earning potential and the satisfaction of helping customers. However, users repeatedly cite systemic problems: weak support, frequent glitches, questionable pay relative to gas costs, onboarding delays, and reimbursement issues. The app is valued as a side-income tool, but reliability and support gaps hinder consistent use.

Pros

Earning potential and a flexible schedule that lets you earn money on your own terms.
Positive, fulfilling experience as a shopper who helps customers and delivers what people need.
Local/short-batch opportunities provide quick earning chances in your area.
The app appears to be improving over time, with updates and upgrades that respond to user feedback.

Cons

Poor customer support with no phone or email options and reliance on chatbots that are not helpful.
Frequent app glitches and instability (scanning issues, orders failing, can't re-open the app) that disrupt orders.
Pay/compensation concerns: low base pay, high fuel costs, and perceived inconsistencies or underpayment for batches.
Onboarding and account issues: long background-check delays and waitlists (months/years) that block starting to drive.
Reimbursement and out-of-pocket expense issues (delayed or denied reimbursements for customer orders).

Recent reviews

My very first shop was horrendous my vehicle broke down right after the shop couldn’t make it to Customer. Tell my ride that picked me up took me in this customer waited and still gave me a $10 tip. It was a check. That I still have not cashed. My car is now running I think the point is that doesn’t matter how far you down the rabbit hole keep going. Instacart didn’t penalize me. Everything worked out great.
