Three and a half hours without the App'. All very fine when you're in town, it's like shooting fish in a barrel, get out to the suburbs and it's a pain in the hoop.

It never actually crashed down here but got a few strange 'Job cancelled' messages even though I had never accepted any job ?
I too enjoy the southside Cork burb work during the jungle hours as long as it is on card and not crossing the river, anything over 2km away on cash without the 'reliable customer' tab gets cancelled, especially with a Hollywood name !

My app updated yesterday. I switched it on today and it was trying to send me jobs on the northside. I'm on the southside. Every job must have been at least 20 miles away. I finally accepted one that was near enough and the bottom half of the screen went white. I ended up cancelling the job and switching off the app. What the flook have they done to it?
-
Welcome to our world.
I switch it off after 11 on a busy night because it's absolutely un-usable.
Every rejected job freezes the app,and you have to restart it.
Sometimes when you switch it back on up to 30 stacked jobs are on your screen,that you have to clear before you can try using it again.
It's a fucking shambles.Thank god that the other apps have plenty of work.

I see they've dispensed wit the distance the ape is hailing from ????? ....absolutely useless .... >:( :(

Totally agree.. you ring them and tell them...they don't give a fuck
Fix rhe basics on the app 1st before you start adding in bonus shit to the shitfest it is on busy periods.
The bonus thing is obviously a ploy to get drivers to do jobs big and small during peak times as customers on to them saying drivers won't do short jobs or watever
Sort out the fucking app arseholes

Always apply for them. If you turn up at the address and things don't seem right, wait the four minutes and fifty seconds, call the punter, let it connect for one or two rings then hang up, then cancel the job. Apply for the fee.
You didn't pick up the possible bogey, and got a fiver for your trouble.

I tried that. Rang the guy after 5 mins. He answered and when I asked if he ordered a taxi said no and cancelled while I was on the phone with him. Fukker >:( Never got a scrub fee either. Fukkers >:( >:(
I can't get any scrub fees either as someone else was saying. After I submit one, they send me a FAQ email about how to claim it. I've copied the text to my phone and open it every time I try to claim another scrub fee. No joy. I'll tried the 'previous layout' approach suggested above.
They're shooting themselves in the foot for a fiver because they've lost any "loyalty" (?) I might have given them. I've no interest now if FN succeeds or not.
-
My only successful way now. previous layout, tap job, tap help, enter "Cancellation Fee: No pax, called x 3, left VM, waited 5, scrub req.
-
I THINK that after you move at all even to do a u-turn to exit after pressing 'Arrived' that nullifies the scrub fee.
I seldom bother any more as they seldom pay out and I never bother following up fer the sake of a Fiver.
Most usually I will wait a full minute and call them and if no answer still wait the full 2 minutes so as they will be hopefully charged the cancellation fee.
The odd cancellation fee that I do apply fer, I find they pay out about 1 in 2, and I only wait fer them if it is going exactly where I want to go.
-
I made 3 applications for the Same Scrub Fee .Its my time I want to be paid .Cunts complaining they cannot get a taxi then cancelling .Its not just the 5 minutes waiting time but the effort to get there .

Maybe best to go 'To War' tomorrow if you don't get paid ?
I had 1 Pony Bobo and 1 cast iron scrub last week, I'll wait till tomorrow to see if'n I'm paid.
Still bugging me that the puker last night cost me the second Pony Bobo !
I know that I made 10 times the Bobo in the hours with the Fookin pucker,
but OCD rocks, I was on 4 jobs needing just 2 more, 66% on way to Bobo
and I missed the Bobo over that prick !

The 5 minutes is way too long considering yer never parked in a safe place.Always blocking the road or up on the footpath or double yellows.If I'm in a shit location I cancel after 2 mins waiting then leave the app off for a few hours.5 minutes is just too long and it doesn't happen on Bolt or Uber. Freenow have allowed this situation to continue for years and now it's busy it's fukking up the service.
The more lads just keep accepting it the longer its gonna take to change.

I'd the busiest night of the year last night.
I only did App jobs with desto's.
I never went into town.
Stayed local.
Worked the Unibrow gig, before and after.
If doing an app job I phoned the punter en route to be ready, they all were.
One banger in Clongriffin, scrub fee applied.
Made a wonderwall. 8)

Sounds like a plan SB.I took most of last week off after me holidays to recover so now I'm ready to return tomorrow when all the money is spent.Hopefuly the relatively busy time we(yous)are having will continue.
-
....... 5 minutes is just too long and it doesn't happen on Bolt or Uber. Freenow have allowed .....
What happens that is different with Bolt or Uber jobs MFH ?
I don't work Bolt or Uber so it's an honest question.
-
The passengers are ready to go most of the time Ken.
Also within the other apps the passengers can text you to say they're on the way if they're not already waiting for you.Waiting times are usually very low.
That 5 minutes waiting bollox is a hangover from traditional despatch companies.Completely unnecessary considering most people with smartphones are looking at the things constantly.I work in town during the day and the clowns I'm picking up don't drive and don't appreciate how difficult it is to find a safe place to wait.

I just got me statement and was paid me Pony Bobo but not fer me Scrub fee, I only half remember the job but I do remember when applying fer it that it was a 'Cast iron' Scrub fee but still it was not paid.
I sent them off another message through the help section on that job asking why I didn't get paid the Scrub ?
I'll let ya know how I get on.

Only let it ring once or twice, and do not answer a return call.
