Not as useful as the web site, but good to release funds and answer questions, and that is flipping useful. Just being able to be in constant contact is worth it to move projects on. It would be useful to start shaping projects when you are on the move then edit them when back in the office. Dont want to post an incomplete project.
Useless Android app. Have to log in to the mobile website to do anything. so many features missing. can't access all proposals. The ones I can access can't see attachments. many designers put links to their portfolio on behance etc. can't highlight text to copy and paste into browser. Also doesn't remember password. have to login every time but sends me a push notification when there is new proposals.
An amazing website, one of the best freelancing platform. The app. however is far from being useful, esp. for freelancers. The current version held a lot of promise, but it kept popping a prompt to update and restart but it didn't work. Uninstalling it again for the nth number of time with a hope that the update will be available through Playstore and the devs. will keep their word of the improved version of the app. with features for freelancers.
The app layout is great and easy to use. However, I can't complete one message to send without the app crashing constantly l!! That is just too annoying, totall put off, tbh!
Edit Sep 19: A huge upgrade from before. From no app to an almost complete app, we have come a long way. Its more freelancer friendly. Theres might be a few glitches here and there, but PPH has finally given us the essential features we had been asking for! Thank you! P.S. My only advice for futher improvement would be a better user interface.
Useless you're a buyer, there is no interface for routine tasks. You can't even message clients. Edit: It's two months later, they still haven't added simple seller functionality. Why even push this app to the store if you don't even have it ready in the first place, let alone two months later?
Well for me as a freelancer i don't see the application much useful for me as i expected, i suggest to add an option to search for projects like in the desktop version in order to make everything easy & flexible for us, I'm sure as well that you'll achieve this shortly, because as you know, using such great service through mobile devices is far more easier than PCs or laptops
I could sign in by PC but when I try to log in by phone app , I can't and it's always saying "Wrong email or password" though I'm sure more than 100% that I typed in both email and password correctly , I even checked in my browser's saved password to see what password I used . Once you fix this terrible problem ,I will change the rate
This app is not working on my phone.. I cant see the option to browse projects to apply on and I am not receiving any notifications and messages. Everytime I have to open my laptop to see updates and apply for work.
I tried to post an offer on their website, it has been rejected for several times, for the same reason, which was an automatic message. I contacted their support, asking for more information and for advice on how can I post it properly, they said they will investigate and come back to me. Never come back still I can't post my offer. You can't search for jobs. Not recommended!
App is very simple and clean for both seller and buyer. Developers have added all the useful features that we can quickly use while we are on the way. 1 feature that i will love to see is payment withdrawal. It will be nice to withdrawal payments quickly.
Not really suitable for freelancers. Would be ideal to have a freelancer app so that us that work hard can get notifications when someone sends a message or a job is accepted. It would allow us to get more work and better service our clients.
Not very user friendly - the app seems geared more to people looking to hire and post job requests. As a freelancer there is no easy way to update my profile or view new projects. If I access the Web version on my phone I can search for projects, and then open each one via the app, but then have to repeat the process again to view the next one.
Not user friendly. As a freelancer, you can't edit your profile or see projects clearly without jumping through hoops and clicking to new pages. The design is just awful on the app. The website is ok but the app is so bad to use. Not even sure about this site for freelances. You get invited to make proposals when it's a day old project and others have sent their proposals already. You'd need to be on this site and checking it constantly to get a proposal in before loads of others do.
They updated the app for sure. But it's useless. At this moment this app is for clients to post jobs on the go. Nothing more than that. The development is dramatically slow. Happy to lend a hand in UX Design if you guys are struggling or don't have time to give priority to the Android App.
It is quite frustrating to announce that your app delivers a bad user experience. I realized that this app has a client-only framework. A freelancer who is logged in cannot post a service, see available job openings or drop proposals. Very disheartening! Also, the push notification features seems to be unresponsive. Please, fix these issues. PeoplePerHour is bigger than this BS!
I love the people per hour website, so I installed this app to keep in communication with the people working with me... as it's better to keep the chats within their system than outside, But there is no messaging system in the app ... Not even a record of communication just a list of jobs. Pointless... Uninstalled... Come on guys.... What's up here??????
Worst freelancing platform. I had posted a project on this platform and awarded it to a freelancer after doing necessary payments. The freelancer could not deliver the work even after explaining him several times. Still I could not get the refund. And neither the project. Very much diaappointed. I lost the money as well as time.
Very interesting interface to their freelancer portal. Interface is a bit confusing but one can get used to it. Notification configuration works pretty decent.
Terrible and pointless for freelancers. No beneficial features. Can't browse or view projects, can't send proposals or bid. What really is the point of this app? It's pointless for the people he need to use it the most.
Such a shame, when I saw the promo for this new app I was relieved as the old one is slow and clunky at best. Disappointing to see this is buyer only with hardly any functionality. Whoever in your company said "oh yeah it'll do the way it is and we'll just update along the way" should be demoted to toilet duty. Don't release an app until it's something to be proud of and is of more convenience than going to your actual website otherwise you've just wasted a ton of cash on something people will install, look at, sigh and delete... Oh and leave a poor review. Perhaps use some of my fee money and hire a business consultant ;) plenty of us on your platform and I'm sure we'd love to help you as it is still one of the best freelancer platforms out there!
For a marketplace like pph, this is not good. At least this could be done using webview, at least it would be usable. And there are lots of problem in ui and functionality. Take time and release a good app like other marketplaces did.
It's perfect but I have a suggestion regarding the credit for proposals. Me for instance I am joining the website to be able to work . I am a college student and I cannot buy credit . Instead of adding 15 credit monthly . Add 1 credit daily or 5 credits weekly ,it will be really helpful .
Please can we get a good version for the freelancer too. Not just a web view app that closes each time I try to go back, or can't give notifications on activities on my account, or have to login each time I want to re-enter the app.
Please upgrade this app, it is very useless the way it is. It need to be how it is on laptop, other freelancer site are well design, but yours is not so. Find something done to it so that we can access or get notified when we have a message or notification and be able to reply client immediately.
So irritating, full of bugs, lot of problems to use it... You can never go back when you are login as freelancer and sendig offers, if you do then you will be again on login page again... Problem is on every page.
The app works well in general terms. I suggest allowing to edit the description of proposals after they have been sent, as there are sometimes typos that need to be corrected, typing a good text on mobile phone is hard, especially if you have big fingers. Sending a flawless text is key for a first good impression.
