LawnStarter for Providers allows lawn care providers to claim jobs, manage their schedules, and coordinate their crews. This app works in conjunction with LawnStarter's web platform, which allows lawn care companies to claim extra clients on their already existing routes. This app uses background geolocation tracking to provide location data that can be interacted with on LawnStarter's web software. On this software providers can track and manage their fleet of individual lawn care crews in real time to see the current status of job completions for a given day. Historical location data is also provided on our web software to help providers make informed decisions about coverage areas and assign jobs in an order that optimizes crews' routes (Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life).

Great app

It’s a good way to fill in schedules but if you are an actual established business like we are, you have to account for doing things like employees do like checking in, sending pictures, waiting 3-5 days for your money, very inconvenient when you are trying to get more services or suggesting. Customers in the app don’t take you seriously but will pay you when you do a good job… sometimes. Sometimes you can give them more than they asked to help them and you get crapped on or cancelled for no reason. Speaking of that, if you cancel a schedule or reschedule, you get points knocked off.. that’s not business class to me but oh well, business is business. Prices are lower than usual and as a business it can hurt rather than help so be careful. I don’t know if the app hijacks money off the top but take it as you see it. Be ready to start asking for more money because customers leave sour elements like major overgrowth.

I never do reviews, but this app/scam has a major lawsuit in the works and a F rating on BBB for a reason. Usually bad reviews aren’t justified, but the ones for this definitely are. It’s a ripoff for both customers and providers with unrealistic expectations and penalties for not meeting them regardless of the situation. Customer set the wrong day and needs to reschedule? Incomplete job. Thunderstorms that day and need to reschedule? Incomplete job. Now your account is paused from receiving jobs for 3 days for incomplete jobs cause “sorry, that’s the way it works.. is there anything else?” - Customer Support. Trust me just build your business and customer base on your own. The whole point of being a business owner is being your own boss and not having the entire destiny and success of your business, and quality of customer service in someone else’s hands esp when that someone is a low IQ pimp/slave owner, w/ a rudimentary algorithm designed to keep you low tier so they don’t have to honor and uphold their end, H1B-visa “customer support” on the other side of the planet, and AI chat bots (see the response to this and everything else). Plus they take a huge chunk of profits, so it’s impossible to properly quote other jobs & services without either being super underpaid, or significantly overcharging the customer who obviously isn’t going to agree to overpay. Stay away, thank me later.

Constant issue with the app
02/19/2021

I became a service provider with the app, first week went kinda smoothly. But then the app began to fail left and right. You need to upload before and after pictures for everything. Not an issue to do, but and issue to actually upload them. The app won’t accept uploading pictures, the app won’t let you submit bids for jobs. While that is all going on they penalize you for being late on your submissions. Went from a tier 1 provider with an excellent rating, to a week later take 2 ans my rating plummeted. None of which was in my control. If the app worked like they keep saying it’s going to then I wouldn’t have a problem. But the fact that they are penalizing you for issues that land and fall on their end is absurd. Can’t even begin to explain how much of my free ans unpaid time I spent emailing back and forth with the service representatives. Bottom line is they kept telling me after talking to them that the app would be fixed, when I would just encounter the same issues as before, with nothing being fixed. All the app did was penalize me for their issues ans sully my businesses name locally in the process. I might be willing to change this review if they ever get their ducks in a row, but I’m not holding my breathe on that one. Good luck to anyone that wants to work using this platform, expect to waste your time and not being paid to help develop their broke AF app.

Not worth it

This app is definitely not worth it. You better off knocking door-to-door. This app lies and says you don’t even complete half of your jobs. I’ve completed every single one of my jobs and they said on the app. I’ve only completed 13. Out of 20. and I contacted support and they said sorry there’s nothing we can do. it’s automatic system when I’ve done everything in my possible way to complete the job as they wanted even knocked on the door and asked the customer. Is there anything else you would like done is everything how you want it but somehow I did not do my job. I strongly urge Apple to review these apps for compliance with App Store guidelines regarding fraud, scam activity, and misleading practices. They use a tier system for workers that is nearly impossible to reach, creating false expectations of unfair pay and advancement.I have repeatedly been marked as “not completing jobs,” even when I completed them exactly as required. This unfairly penalizes honest workers and can impact earnings.The apps create a cycle where workers are blamed and punished despite fulfilling their side of the agreement, making it extremely difficult to succeed. And move up in their tear system, This behavior not only hurts independent contractors but also misleads users of the App Store into downloading an app that does not operate transparently or fairly.
