Instawork is definitely one of the better gig work apps out there but theres always room for improvement. They do offer insta pay and have a higher earning potentials . However there is very very few jobs to choose from and the ones that they do have are either super far away and or for short durations.

I like using Instawork as a fill in to days off from my normal job. My challenge with them is that I get a lot of pop ups for positions that do not fit my style and needs. When I see jobs that I want to book popup, I can’t find them through the site unless I click on the text alerts. I also had several emergency medical situations pop up in the couple of years and I could not fulfill committed shifts, but even with documentation to prove my case, Instawork refused to lift temporary suspension and I lost status. Ease of use is great, but support not so much.

The app is good for work when they actually send you shifts. The system of communication is delayed and can use improvement. The app compared to other gig apps is not the best. When you apply for the shift access they are selective and I have yet (after 2-3 years) to get approved for specific shifts. Also, being a Bronze/Silver worker does not garuntee a job. The instapay is beneficial if you are in need. To me the app is ok.

I love the concept of picking up shifts to fill out my schedule, but I rarely see bartending shifts come up on instawork. When they have and I am fast enough to book the shift, it’s great. Hoping that the sad demise of Qwick will send businesses to instawork, I could really use the extra work again.

Great way to make quick money. Horrible with communication.

So far so good a decent online temp agency been with them since 2019 but it's starting to become not so good with some of us excellent contractors 😞😞

I like Instawork as a gig app, yes I do. But insta work can do better. 1st I haven’t seen any fine dining jobs on the app, but the app wants you to have fine dining kitchen experience. Then you can’t pass the tests and can’t work the job even though when you get there they heating up soup in a soup pot or unwrapping sandwiches to put on a tray, just doesn’t make sense, and you don’t qualify for the job. I have also been Operating Restaurants for about 17 years and couldn’t get a prep job or line cook job, just didn’t make sense to me. Management is so not on the same page, not professional, they can be a hot mess at AA where I worked.
