PopBookings - Legacy

As of 07.08.24 the PopBookings App has been extremely buggy for at least 6 months. Bookings and invitations do not appear on the booking page. Direct messages are impossible to send. Confirmed jobs do not show up. The app is in dire need of an update for the current iOS.

I’ve been using PopBookings to apply for gigs for about 2 years now because all of my agencies use the platform. However, the app and the website both need some serious updating. I’d log on the app, and it will tell me no jobs are available…the app would send me a notification about a job invite from my agency and when I log in on the app…no listings are posted. No job invites. Nothing. It’s honestly very annoying and frustrating. This app has the potential to be a great platform, but it’s so faulty it makes you not even want to use it. Please fix the app. Please.

The search options and sort options do not work. Don't appear and if they do and you select them it just turns to zero results which is definitely incorrect. Everytime a new job is loaded i have to spend time scrolling searching to figure out which one it is

I started using this app a couple years ago and every time I find something it makes it so much easier to get booked and to find also new openings great for gigs in the city and it’s surroundings

I have used this app for over six years and it has always been a frustrating experience. The only reason I keep it is because unfortunately companies keep using it as a platform to book Brand Ambassadors and gigs alike. It is extremely outdated, there are always glitches and it is super slow to load whether you are on WiFi or not. I wish the app developers would spend more time making it a user friendly experience, it seems like they never bother to test the consumer side of the app because everyone I talk to about this app in the industry agrees that it is not a great app to use. They also charge marketing agencies to use the app, and then also take a % of your pay without you knowing when you book a gig through the app. While the app may be free to use, they are taking money out of your pockets each time you book an event on the app. This is not disclosed information.

This app has serious problems that desperately need to be fixed, such as blank screens, not allowing to search and connect to companies to book work, even on the pc it does NOT function well. Horrible and NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP!!!!!

I can’t even use the app because it won’t let me get past the gender and DOB screen. There is no next button to proceed after selecting gender and entering DOB. I’ve redownloaded the app several times, same issue.

Can you even talk to a real person? Their “customer service” is an ai that only always you to respond with preselected options. If you issue isn’t one of the preselected options, tough luck. Does it at least along to you say that your issue wasn’t resolved & you’d like to talk to a real person? Nope. It ends the chat. I’m using this platform for booking gigs with a single company & I'm frankly thinking about just not working with this company anymore so I don’t have to deal with PopBookings. I constantly get recruit emails for companies I have no interest working with because they have nothing to do with what my work is. Is there an option to opt out of receiving these emails? Nope.

So far, the app moves very slow. It takes forever to load and shows the same jobs every time I reload. I’ve booked one job, waiting to see if it’ll go through smoothly. I’ll write another review then.
