Jobulator 4+

Helps a little, mostly torture

The functions are fine--notification sound/visual on lock screen, the app lets you see the gist of a job on its home screen, you have to click on it to know things like length of the job (end time, for example.) Easy to accept, and you can see a calendar of your jobs. The major problem I have with this: I would say that 75% of the time when I get a notification, there is no job there. I can be holding my phone, get a notification, unlock, refresh the app screen (I'll have left it open to be ready), and in those 10 seconds there is no job listed. I've also tried having the phone next to me while my computer is open, the Aesop page on a tab ready to go. I hear the notification and go to the tab (so, maybe 3 seconds?), and no job. Leaving the app on in the middle of the night, same thing--it can be 2 a.m. and there's no job when checking right away after a notification. How is this possible? Consistently? Makes me wonder about how the app really works...is there a delay, to jobs put out a "notification" when they already have someone specified? Does the app randomly send out notifications to make customers feel like it's worth it? Bottom line: it'll help you get a few jobs, and make you feel like you're missing tons for taking more than 2 seconds to get access.

Faster than sub finder but will not stick with it

This app is faster than others (probably because it's an official Aesop app) but it lacks much detail. When the job notification banner comes up I hate how I don't know anything about the job. I have to tap on "open" and even then I have to tap again on the main screen because there isn't enough info about the job. It really bothers me that I don't know what hours the opening is for as well as school, teacher, date or time. Sub assistant offers this (I just wish it was faster). It's kind of counterintuitive to what the app is for, to save time. I still have to go through all the options in order to get enough info on the job. I can't just find find out by banner if I want to even bother with the assignment. If they fixed this I would choose this over the other apps, but it seems that I will be cancelling the trial soon...

Awful

Would give it a 0 star if it was an option. I went 2 years finding sub jobs on Aesop and found jobs everyday. Another sub told me to try jobulator, so I did. Thinking that jobulator was goinf to send me alerts when a job was available, I stopped checking the Aesop site here and there for jobs. I noticed I was not getting any job notifications, which was odd because I know sub jobs are often available. However, when I get notifications the job is no longer available. I was under the assumption that every time a teacher requested a sub request then jobulator would let me know, WRONG! I decided to test it next to the Aesop site. Well long and behold, I saw jobs on Aesop sitting around waiting to be picked up and yet Jobulator is not sending me an alert. I also noticed that when I did get a jobulator alert, it was after I watched the job sit for an average of 25 minutes. Now that explained why 99.9% of the time the job was already taken when jobulator sent the alert.

So save your money and don’t bother. I find that refreshing Aesop here and there gets me jobs. Jobulator sends you alerts after a job has already been taken or when it has been sitting there forever. Which means you can just check Aesop here and there and still get more jobs than paying Jobulator for nothing.
