Man, Jobber is costing me $99 a month and still can't handle overlapping handyman jobs without double-booking my calendar. I had three separate clients expecting me for drywall patches and shelf installs last Tuesday, all because the app glitched during a quick deck repair quote. Switched from using their mobile app for everything, but the routing feature is a total crap-show for solo guys like me juggling fixes around town. At this rate, I'm thinking of ditching it for something simpler before I lose another $500 in reschedules.

jobber's double-booking BS screwed me out of a full day last month, had two jobs collide cuz the damn routing ignored my manual tweaks. it's like they built it for teams with secretaries, not us solo handymen scraping by. i've been eyeballing housecall pro to switch, but who knows if it'll glitch the same way. total waste of that $99 when all i need is a calendar that doesnt lie to my clients.

what other apps you tried before jobber that didnt suck for solo scheduling?

don't stick with jobber if you're solo, i lost a whole week's worth of gigs last year when it double-booked me on a kitchen remodel and two fence fixes all at once. the routing's a nightmare for us independents, and their support just spouts canned bs without fixing the glitch. switch before you end up rescheduling more than you can afford, or you'll be eating ramen for a month. seen too many guys get burned like that and bail on the app altogether.
