TakeLessons for Teachers 4+

Genuinely might be the worst app I’ve ever had the displeasure of using. Looks and works significantly worse than the desktop website (a very low bar to clear), never keeps me logged in, never sends me notifications even for important things like new students. Text fields and menus are almost impressively broken. Often feels like it was designed and coded by Satan incarnate.

This isn’t even getting into the way TakeLessons treats their instructors. Apparently having a customer service rep who can respond in the same week and knows literally anything is too much to ask, but don’t worry—they’ve spent their money on lots of other super useful features: blocking any messages which contain contact information, automatically setting your profile to invisible any time you decline a student, emailing you every month with an update email that amounts to ‘heyyy, we still haven’t fixed anything but we added more features to make your experience as an instructor even worse haha lol xoxo’.

And the fact that instructors have been making all these same complaints for almost a decade and TakeLessons appears to have done literally nothing to remedy them?? Really not a good look. Thumbtack is leagues better and well worth the cost compared to the truly infuriating experience of trying to deal with the dipsticks at TakeLessons.

For some reason, the App logged me out and now when I try to log back in, it just spins and spins and spins. There is nothing wrong with my phone because everything else works. I even deleted the app and reinstalled it but it still has the same issue. Takelessons should have a user friendly app that works well, especially because not everyone always has their computer on hand to respond to student inquiries.

This new upgraded app doesn’t work probably and in past few days hasn’t been even logging in at all ! Terrible
