Shovler: Snow Removal OnDemand 4+

The service they provided last winter and this was great. So at that level the APP delivers - it connects those who need shoveling to shovelers and shovelers who know what they are doing. However, the APP itself needs work. You can’t check the status of your job and have no idea if/when someone will be showing up - other than the initial There are Shovelers in your Area when you start the job. It seems the Shovelers have no way to text you either. And the tech is kind of clunky all around. I’m also not sure about giving shovelers a default 5* rating after 12 hours of no action. A lot of users seem to be older. Not sure they know to do the rating and it’s not obvious. You have to refresh the APP, then notice the red Checkmark, click it and then you get to the review - and the tip. Im guessing/hoping people tip in cash as I did because there is no automatic review and tip request like an Uber.

I recently moved to CT from FL so I am not used to snow or the work that goes along with it. This is my first time using this app. I needed to hire a crew to shovel my driveway, sidewalk and walkway. I feel the price was reasonable, and when I created the job, I was careful to include all areas that I needed shoveled. I chose to add my driveway (3 car), sidewalk and two separate walkways (one for the actual walkway from my garage and another to account for the steps and small front porch area). I felt this was fair. I also put comments in the special instructions section explaining exactly which areas I wanted shoveled. I added a pic too, but I agree with a previous reviewer that you should be able to upload more than one pic. The crew (2 guys) showed up in about 2 hours and completed the job quickly and efficiently. I am happy with the results. I was not sure if I would be able to leave a tip once the work was completed, so I added extra money to the job price up front. However, there is an opportunity to add a tip when you go in to approve the job and leave your rating. You only approve the job after you are notified that it was marked complete. Overall great experience.

i'm not gonna really deep dive review this because I've only tried it through this winter season and I don't even know how many users or as I should say customers are in my area so, basically I live in the north east in New Hampshire to be exact, i've tried this app through a couple storms and have had no luck my worry is that there's people in other states having the same issue honestly it makes me want to print out some cards and start handing them out so people download the shoveler app but then at that point I could just be shoveling via myself since I'm making clients on my own, My problem with this app and many other apps it's not just exclusive to your app but they don't really advertise where they have clients or where they have majority of users or where it was founded out of because then you'd be able to see at least where you're most likely going to be able to use it. it's a great app from what I've seen the interface is great stripe I know is a reputable and well payout platform but the past couple storms we've had I've put myself on duty just in case anything were to pop up and I've gotten absolutely no results. like I said the interfaces good and they seem pretty reputable and reliable but for where I am zero so far.
