Spur

i try to spend time on the app to schedule a shift for myself but i’m unable to because of my schedule i don’t understand why they don’t allow this app to send you notifications to your phone…

I’m not sure how anybody is expected to work if they are not being notified of the job openings. Our school district just switched to the Spur app from Frontline, and I fail to see how this benefits the substitute teachers at all. It is now increasingly difficult to pick up a job or to personalize where you work and what days you are available. I rely on this job to keep me afloat while I’m in school full time, and the switch to this poorly functioning app will now make that unnecessarily difficult.

They need to go back to front link this is a hot mess

Yall need to fix the notifications issue! You’re unable to see jobs being posted unless you are in the app. I would rather them pop up outside of the app instead of having to sit on there all day !

My county school system is switching over to Spur staffing agency for all substitute needs. One of the problems and probably my biggest complain is that it does not send notifications to your phone when a new position comes available. Unless you are actively in the Spur App refreshing to see if there are job postings, you will never know. I’ve already missed many. The old app we used would notify your phone when there was a new post. You could also personalize it and select what schools and grade levels you wanted to sub for. You could mark yourself unavailable for certain days and personalize your calendar and availability. Right now Spur App is a hot mess and they need to work on these things so we aren’t all missing job postings. Why would you have us turn on notification settings if it’s not going to work? School starts next week and I can already tell I won’t be picking up as many shifts simply because there are no notifications and I’m not sitting all day every day refreshing my screen to see if I come across a shift. Very frustrating.

You don’t get push notifications at all and it’s very frustrating to get on and see one’s available just to find that it’s been taken

Why won’t you allow notification alerts of job openings to notify the phone? Nobody has time to set around and constantly refresh their phone looking for openings. Please fix this to where you are actually alerted when an opening is put in for subbing. A banner pop up, a chime, something would be nice!

I have all settings on my phone correct to receive notifications but I do not get alerts for job postings and I am constantly missing shifts because I don’t see them in time

I use the Spur app to procure substitute teaching jobs . When a job is posted on the app we do not receive notifications. So I can look at my phone every few minutes to see if a job is available and someone else has already procured the job . This goes on all day . Since the end of June about 30 jobs have been posted and I have been fortunate to have worked 3 days . This is why give the Spur app ONE star.

This app does not send out notifications I check the app every 30-40 min except from 10 pm- 4am and every time they post a job offer it’s already taken I live on the app just waiting because if I leave the app they post a job you should not have to check the app 500 times a day just to get a job it gets old really fast It says I have spent 4 hours and 5 minutes just sitting there refreshing the notification section and I have missed all 13 jobs by 30 min or less either they are living in the app more then me or they get notifications as soon as the job is posted also Spur needs to delete the shifts that are no longer available in the notification section
