I guess it depends on where you are, but I waited forever to get approved and paid for a background check only to be offered 45$ once i accepted, and then it was canceled. This seems like a big waste of time and no real work. Thanks for stealing 49$ from me to pay for the background check.(update they asked me to follow a link for support that went no where thanks for wasting more of my time.)
Reviews for GoShare Driver – Delivery Pros
🚨Scam ALERT🚨 $45-$50 background check fee should be covered by Goshare, not drivers. Low-paying gigs pay less than $1/mile, excluding mileage, travel time, gas, and wait time at pickup, plus no pay for getting there. If you cancel close to pickup, they deduct that fee from your next delivery. For example, you drive 40+ minutes expecting a big payout, but instead get a deduction due to a previous canceled trip. Horrible practices! Check Reddit to hear stories from other drivers. #FactCheck
This app doesn't have a map of your area to show open jobs that are available. I haven't received any notifications from the app for anything and the driver support keeps trying to tell me I must have power saving options enabled for me to not be receiving notifications. I explained that I don't and they pretty much told me good luck. Priorities are in the wrong area. I'm 2 weeks in, let's see how long it takes me to get a notification at least.
App needs an update and lots of improvements that they have been promising for awhile now. Pay is often pretty bad, and does not pay you for time and travel to the pickup site or from it back home so it often winds up not even covering your gas costs. Oh and they make you pay for background check, with promises that it can easily be made back. Yah not so much! Better apps out there for gig workers, wish I could say this was one of them but it's not currently. Live you learn!
Not enough work, delayed delivery notifications. Haven't been able to secure a gig in the last 30 days. Went with another app that literally had about 10 gigs in one day.. . . . Edit: of course you can't find it without my full name. This is not spam. You want it removed so you can hide the facts I stated here. You want my account so you can violate me. That's why.
My area(orlando florida) there is barley any work, its so bad that if a job ever gets posted its already gone by the time you click on the notification. I dont know if this is because of a lack of orders or if there is a flaw with the application. But it is so fustrating to go through so much to sign up, pay for your background check and then cant even get one job and its been about 2 months since i started, this has been nothing but a waste of time and money. Hope something changes soon.
I have done everything they suggested to get notifications in a timely manner, and it just doesn't help. If you don't have 5G or an iPhone, don't even bother! I have become very frustrated with this whole notification process. I end up getting the jobs nobody wants to do, and missing out on the better paying deliveries. I'm warning you ahead of time, this will frustrate you beyond belief!!! Good luck👍 Edit: 7 Months to reply to my review! So pathetic! And STILL doesn't send alerts to Android
Used to really like this side gig as there was consistent work and the pay was fair for box trucks/cargo vans. But as of the last few months they've begun slashing pay to next to nothing. On top of that when a job does pop up it gets taken at break neck speeds, often times the app crashes when trying to view the details. Another issue is more often than not you're not given sufficient time to get to a pick up. Only positives are support is often helpful when an issue arises. Do better GoShare.
Definitely not liking the jobs just popping up at random times. I was trying to do this to supplement my full time income, but this is not helping at all. It would be days to weeks that I wouldn't get anything and when I do I can't do the job because I'm either at work, it's to far for the pay and not worth the drive, or it's to late in the day. This is the worst gig app I've tried so far and I paid $45 for a background check while waiting months for onboarding. Pissed is an understatement!!
Having to pay at least 49$ for a background check is absurd. I've NEVER had to pay for background checks. Other apps don't charge! There is no promise of making any money or getting any projects. My background is spotless so seriously where's the incentive to pay first? I don't want to hear some excuse about covering costs. Goshare is the company so it's on them to cover the costs of doing business or factor that into the business model. I'd be a 1099 independent contractor so I say nope.
