1. 3/5Could be better

   You can make good money if you put the effort to it. There are a few things that I think could be better. One is the metrics system. I can do 12 or 13 orders a day and if I deny one it penalizes me for rejecting one or 2 in one day and I lose like 2 percent of my metrics the next day. However I can accept 10 or more and my rate takes a long time to go up but easy to go down for one rejecting. That doesn’t seem right. I typically accept everything except the orders that are 7 or 8 dollars for 10+ miles, for orders that are paying less then the mileage but rejecting hurts me the next couple days. The second thing I would say needs improvement is how the customer is being communicating when there order is on the way. I’ve had experience where customers aren’t aware that I’m delivering there groceries and they get alarmed by that I mean freak out on me when they see me pull up on there drive or I’m in there front door. At times they even forget or are unaware that they were to be expecting an order. The third thing is why my customer ratings go down without knowing what you did wrong. I don’t think it’s fair not knowing what you did wrong. My ratings is usually at 4.8 the next day it’s at 4.7 or 4.6 without knowing what you can do to correct it next time. Beside them three things I really enjoy this job. Just hope it can fix some problems lot us put a lot of effort to make money and it’s a good job to have and really like it. Just wish Walmart or the spark people would see what we go through to do this job.

2. 3/5Constant Crashing

   App is okay.. not the best offers depending on where you’re at but better than some platforms. Consistent with orders ONLY if you’ve delivered in the area on a regular basis, otherwise you’ll never see offers if you switch to somewhere new with a higher volume. I cannot for the life of me, however, stand how this app functions.. it crashes CONSTANTLY! You open it up, it crashes, you have an offer, it crashes, you arrive at your destination, it crashes, even if you swipe to complete a delivery, it crashes! I have never had so many issues with an app crashing before; and so help me if I don’t refresh after 3 minutes I’ll never get an offer because well.. it crashed without me knowing. Whoever is in charge of this app should be aware of this.. with how much the app updates I can’t believe this hasn’t been addressed. Also, the rating system is very poor.. it’s almost impossible to qualify for the spark rewards program due to how much actual Walmart employees lack care at their job from picking to packing deliveries. There should be a rating system for the store and for the spark drivers like food delivery platforms have. I’m sick of getting a low rating because I picked up a curbside order for 80 items.. each item is in its own separate bag.. and there could be a missing item, expired item, or a squished item. For whatever reason customers don’t understand that the drivers don’t shop for the items all the time and blame us. If you want to update the app, please address these issues!

3. 4/5Needs work

   The app is great for the most part. Navigates for you with only the occasional problem and shopping is a breeze. It does glitch up and send “phantom orders” and when these disappear you will get a metrics penalty. (I think this is unfair) other glitches require you uninstall and reinstall the app. I personally have a problem with the metric system- it doesn’t matter if an order is canceled, it doesn’t matter if the store isn’t ready with the order and it doesn’t matter if the store is not bringing orders out due to weather. If the order is dropped by for any reason in or out of your control you will be the one penalized ( I have been told that this is not true but my metrics say otherwise). Wait times at some stores are ridiculous- 30 to 45 minutes and although spark with pay you for the extra wait time it doesn’t compensate for the future orders you will miss, dropping the order after you have waited to long is an option but you aren’t guaranteed another offer. I enjoy the flexibility of sparking and the money isn’t bad…. There are just so many spark drivers and not enough “ good” offers. ( possibly because walmart decided to have an option for customers to pay a one time yearly fee so they DON’T HAVE TO TIP!!) The incentives are mostly fluff - small stores at odd hours ( like shopping at 5am-7am) or for businesses associated with them that I personally have never seen an offer from. In conclusion- this is a decent app for a side hustle but would be a hit or miss to support your family on.

4. 3/5App freezing and crashing

   You call and talk to customer service and they tell you to delete the app and then reinstall it but nothing gets fixed or better just more verifications that are a huge waste of time they wanna verify in the middle of driving what the heck…. Or you are waiting for a order and nothing will come in so you refresh the app just to find out it froze and then wants you to verify again so you lost money…. Or it freezes while trying to load the order and crashes or freezes and you lose the load I’ve done 1700 orders + and some how can’t get a load the last 3 or four days just shopping with one pickup order I do 10 + orders a day I wait down at Walmart all day and these new people will get a order all the way across town before I get one like that’s crazy I’m the driver that’s been doing this the longest in my area and I’m losing money now cause of this there should be some sort of preference to the drivers doing this for some time I drive 10 to 14 hrs most days 7 days a week and it’s a insult to me when I can’t get a order sitting there but these new drivers are sometimes outta town and get orders I have a lot of great customers that often send complaints my way about other drivers …. We live in a small community and I know a lot of the customers personally a lot of them are not happy with the changes and as for me a driver and being a driver I hope it gets better soon cause I can’t afford to keep this up

5. 5/5Help

   I love doing spark. Been doing it since inception and have seen a lot of wrinkles ironed out along the way however this one wrinkle is hard to take right now. I a bit disappointed in that it’s taking so long to resolve. In the middle of a shopping delivery I was loading my car and was prompted to do an identity check where you take a selfie which is not uncommon and is usually immediately approved. I sat in my car for several minutes waiting for the approval because I could not proceed to get the address info until that was complete. After so long I called support and was instructed to return the items to the store. A 2 hour ordeal because the store was refusing to take the items and support wasn’t very helpful. Eventually the store voluntarily thought to contact the customers and ask them to cancel the order on their end. One week later the app is still telling me my identification is in review. I contacted support again and was told I’m not the only driver with this issue. That doesn’t make me feel any better because they keep referring to the REAL identification review that I had already completed weeks ago making it seem like there is a gap in communication somewhere. Anyways just thought I should try posting the issue here in an attempt for extra set of eyes or help. Just thinking of all the money I am missing out on seeing the incentives that’s going on during my involuntary absence.
