## Review summary

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).
