Podrabotka.md

Podrabotka.md is one app for two things people in Moldova look for every day: a job or side gig close to home, and a ride between towns. Post a task in a minute — nearby workers offer their own price. Or pick a pro from the catalog and give them a call. Or find a ride to Comrat, Bălți, Cahul and dozens of villages along the way.

■ CATALOG OF PROS Don't want to wait for offers? Choose a pro yourself. The Masters section lists profiles with services, photos of past work, a starting price and the towns where each pro works. Call in one tap, message them in chat or offer them your task. For pros: a profile is free, and clients find you on their own. Whether your phone number is shown on it is up to you.

■ REMOTE TASKS A separate tab for work without an address: online tutoring, design, IT, translations, spreadsheets, consultations, social media. Take orders from anywhere in the country.

■ HOW IT WORKS

1. The client posts a task: what needs doing, how much they will pay in lei, a point on the map (for courier and moving jobs — "from" and "to") or a "remote" mark.
2. Nearby workers get a notification and respond — they can accept the price or offer their own.
3. The client checks ratings, reviews and profiles, and picks a worker.
4. A chat opens, and a call if needed.
5. After the job, both sides leave a review. For workers: a feed of nearby tasks with an adjustable radius, filters and sorting by price, category subscriptions — a push arrives the moment a matching task is posted.

■ RIDES ACROSS MOLDOVA • The driver sets: from, to, towns along the route, date and time, free seats, price per seat and luggage space. • Passengers see even the trips where their town is simply on the way. • Book a seat in one tap; the driver confirms passengers. • Shared trip chat: the driver and confirmed passengers agree on where to meet. • The driver's profile shows the car make, plate number and photo, rating and reviews.

■ COMPLETELY FREE No commissions, no paid responses, profiles or subscriptions — for anyone. Payment happens directly between people: cash or bank transfer. The app does not process payments.

■ SAFETY AND PRIVACY • Sign in with Google or Apple; your phone number is confirmed with a code in Telegram. • Your number stays hidden until a deal is confirmed — unless you choose to show it on your pro profile. • Only a pro can be messaged first, from their profile — otherwise a chat opens only after a confirmed match. • Reviews come only from real participants, with built-in protection against fake ratings. • Report a user, task or profile in a couple of taps.

■ EVERYDAY CONVENIENCE • Browse tasks, rides and pro profiles without signing up. • The app is in Romanian and Russian, with light and dark themes. • The Orders tab keeps all active tasks and rides at hand; completed ones are saved in My History.

■ WHO IT'S FOR Pros, students and anyone who wants to earn extra in their free time. Drivers with empty seats and passengers tired of waiting for the minibus. Chișinău, Bălți, Comrat, Cahul, Orhei, Ungheni, Soroca and all of Moldova — Podrabotka.md.
