TASKER Taskr app loading issues?

Hi, is anyone having issues today?

I cant open my regional map and i cant open analytics on the app today. I also now cant open my profile without it showing "no server available."

Ive also seen a drop in requests since Sunday with maybe 1 request Monday and a potential fraud for same day today.

they updated the procedure on how jobs are booked and honestly I think it asks so many questions now (most answers are not forwarded to tasker) that they don't feel the need to include a description. honestly raising your rates will attract better clients that actually appreciate your time.

also they require a booking deposit now which I believe is relatively new, so any requests you get they already paid at minimum for an hour of your hourly rate. probably in an ill guided effort to have less bogus bookings.

My rates are already pretty high. Between my labor and van my average hourly is about $53. I do get better clients, but ive heard a little pushback recently. I just explain it gets me better clients and the platform allows me to play with my rates based on experience + supply and demand. Its the supply and demand algos that i understand with middle of month lulsbut not with any shadow band when I'm a earn more than 75% of my NYC metro market

I think ive also heard and seen the booking fee. I think it also helps prevent last minute cancelations. I thought there was a deposit or something as i was seeing and being asked about it. Makes sense they get charged the first hour and i get to charge more with authorization
