1. 4/5Great App!!! What would make it better though…..

   So I love door dasher it’s quick cash when needed. I do think though some improvements can be made like say the dashers are dashing in one sector and it goes dead we should be able to see it right away and show us the other areas that are busy so we can make quick decisions on the road. At the moment while we are dashing we can’t see the other areas or even the area we are dashing if they are busy or not. Maybe even go as far as hey this area isn’t busy anymore but this area is would you like to start dashing here. Love the hourly wage aspect, but we should get paid more for gas especially when we get sent out to the boonies most of the time and they don’t tip well or at all. Which shouldn’t even be a option. They need at least cover our gas price. That’s like 4.00 a gallon most times it’s less. So even if door dash figures it in a 1.00 extra per delivery for gas would help. No matter if the order is cancelled or it didn’t get sent to the restaurant we still drive there and the half pay is great but still should get that 1.00 plus the half pay. It isn’t just gas we use when we drive. You have oil, tires etc. Your company is a great way to make money for sure but your drivers are the front line we deal with both restaurants and consumers they need to be taken care of a little better. Offer incentives like for every 5k we drive you pay 25 towards oil change sent to our dasher direct. Offer free swag for other occasions stuff like that

2. 3/5Only new dashers are worth anything

   I would like to start out by saying this app is easy to use they go through instructions on how to use it when you first download the app and then it smooth sailing from there. Now for the real review the only reason I’m giving this app 3 stars is because when I was a new dasher it went great. I was getting orders I could go out whenever I wanted this really helped me out. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end apparently because after two weeks they stopped giving me high paying orders and only let me dash for a half hour and that’s not even worth the gas you lose without those high paying orders. If anyone is on the fence about dashing you should totally go for it but only for the first 2 weeks after that they want you to schedule but they don’t offer you anything or if they do it’s very little. This company pushes you to the side and only cares about new drivers coming in. I spent hours trying to work this out with support even got up to support supervisor she was very nice but stated there’s nothing anyone can do this is just how it is. I wanted to dedicate myself and do this full time but unfortunately like I stated before they only want new drivers to keep this coming in they don’t care about you after you work for the 2 weeks. I will keep checking back to see if anything changes but unfortunately this is just where we are. I’ll be looking for a new app that cares about their drivers who actually want to put in the effort not just a quick side gig.

3. 4/5An Interesting Side Job

   I've only been dashing for about two weeks now and while I do have problems with the app itself and the business as a whole, overall this is a fun and profitable line of work. While doing deliveries, the amount of security you have at your disposal including location sharing, emergency contacts, and even their SafeDash Check-in is outstanding. Being able to communicate with the customer by text/call, contact a helpline, or even navigate to and from addresses all from the app itself is very convenient. On the business side, however, when looking for offers there are times when you will get lowballed with a low payout/tips and high mileage, resulting in little to no profit. This is especially terrible when considering their "acceptance rating", as the more or less offers you take can affect the quality and pay of those orders and even getting priority over other dashers. Denying a bad or unattractive delivery will only punish you and your chances at better offers (Ex: Earning 5$ for driving 12 miles, not to mention the trip back). While tips can vary they can be laughably bad, depending on your earning choice (I strongly recommend using "Earn by Offer"). Not to mention there are times when the app will simply not cooperate with you, whether it's locking you out of dashing, the map locations being incorrect, and even losing orders. While there are flaws in its system, and depends on a number of variables for the Dasher (gas mileage, location, etc..) I do believe it's still a great opportunity to earn some extra cash on the side.

4. 3/5Not happy

   I’ve been dashing for about 8 months now and it was all okay at first but they must have recently updated it to where when you get cash orders, every regular dash you get after that is to pay off the cash you receive and I find that extremely ridiculous seeing how just a few weeks ago getting a cash order was such a good offer as you’d get that and the regular dash money but now you owe DoorDash if you accept the cash to pay for that persons meal. None of this was communicated I just had to call and ask why my direct deposits were missing for the support to badly explain what was going on and there’s no option for feedback or complaints so here it is. Along with the fact they don’t reimburse you half the time when you get to a store and the order is gone or get to a cash house and something goes wrong there, just wasted your time for nothing. Also they give you extremely far orders for the same pay you’d get going around your corner and penalize you for denying or getting held up. And they expect you to wait at each stop when there’s long lines. The least they could do is offer nearby dashes while the initial one is being made so you don’t end up only making $4 in thirty minutes! I’ve downloaded other delivery apps because of this and none of them are this bad. I got an email about reimbursements being sent for sending dashes twice and people getting dashes that were already done, still waiting on that. When it’s good it’s good but lately the bad has been outweighing and I’m about ready to be done.

5. 5/5Critical Update Needed

   I have been DoorDashing for well over a year and I’m a Platinum member. The DoorDash Dasher app is good, but it needs a few updates to make it great. 1). The most critical update should be to the navigation tool within the app: currently, the navigation tool is set to help you take the fastest route… the problem with this is that it does not alert the driver of any road closures due to car accidents or construction, (which is baffling as all other navigation apps have this figured out). The app struggles horribly to reroute you, and insists on taking the quickest route, often resulting in failure to arrive on time. Please update the navigation tool to include these safety features. 2). The Dasher App does not verify if you can lift more than 50 pounds repeatedly. Additionally, the offers that the Dasher receives does not indicate the weight of the order. Yesterday, the app took me to Lowe’s to pick up over one thousand pounds of river rock, and unfortunately, rejecting this order as a safety concern would have affected my ratings, so I feel it’s important for DoorDash and the customer to be transparent about the weight of the Customer’s Order as a means to prepare the Driver. 3). I am not seeing any follow up (by DoorDash) on any of the safety concerns I submit through the app. I see the email, but there is no follow up whatsoever. Overall I’m happy with the DoorDash Dasher app, but I feel I could be even happier with these critical updates.
