I love the app - easy applications to jobs - comfortable UI. I have not faced any issues so far. Just one - please provide iPad users with a dedicated application - which merges the portable UI with the desktop application features such as time tracking and contract management. There are several freelancers who I believe would be facilitated if they could use their iPads for portable and flexible workflows if they could use their iPads for a laptop replacement. Do look into this direction - absolutely love the platform and mobile application otherwise.

🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻We’ve been actively boosting my manager’s profile on Upwork—putting in our hard-earned money and savings to get genuine visibility. But sadly, what we’re facing is quite disheartening: a flood of fake job invites. It’s frustrating that despite investing in boosting, the results are nowhere near what was expected. The feature doesn’t seem to actually improve our ranking or visibility, no matter how much effort we put into crafting high-quality proposals.And what’s more concerning is how easily fake jobs are allowed to be posted. Isn’t there any solid verification in place? Freelancers like us are trying to grow and find real opportunities, but the system is starting to feel rigged. It’s like the only people benefiting from this now are YouTubers promoting Upwork or the platform itself.Upwork really needs to step in and do something—because what once felt like a trusted freelancing space now feels like it’s turning into a money trap. Our experience is deteriorating day by day, and it’s genuinely disappointing.

Upwork is a platform where there are a lot of freelancers and the reason why most people opt for it for trust. However the reality is its not a dependle platform for mission critical projects ( For example if you have a MVP you are trying to build and if that needs to go live in 4 weeks, upwork can ban the freelancer saying they found the freelancer is a fraud and banned from the platform + You wont get the money back). Their excuse would be we are just a "mediator" and i dont help you with any money protection even though we banned the freelancer who have been working on your project).Upwork clearly doesnt support chargebacks ( This is against the regulatory rules of RBI in India and card protection rules). If you really go through the upwork terms and conditions, the moment you raise a chargeback upwork will block you out of the platform. Not recommended for mission critical projects ( But its good for hobby projects and small value projects where you loosing the money wont hurt you).

There is nothing wrong with the app itself. Whats wrong is some clients who usually post jobs like this " logo design /simple typing or logo design and then in the description it says we need freelancers who can do simple logo design and when i was a beginner i fell into one of these traps they said if i translate and retype 30 pages of a pdf from English to Arabic they will pay me 1200 USD and after finishing the job they asked me to send them 60 USD so that they can verify its my account they are transfering the money to.And recently these scams have taken over upwork literally and i saw dozens of pages have these scam jobs listed continuously
