Solo is an amazing App if you gig drive. I've had it for a while now but never really used it until a couple days ago. Why I didn't take advantage of it then is beyond me! I drive full time for 3 different platforms and this app is going to be a a lifesaver. Documented mileage, tax info, weekly planner. Guaranteed pay! I'm so excited! P.S. Sailing and the Solo team really do a great job showing care, sharing information and making sure everyone feels welcome!
I love the way it tracks my earnings and shows what I am making per hour avg. Also like the leader board. But wish it was by area rather the the whole country. The more I use the app the more I like it. I would like it and use it even with out the pay guarantee feature although that was what brought it to my attention. I had the opportunely to meet and talk with one of the developers and he opened my eyes to several futures that I had failed to find on my own, so if your using the app, explore, explore as there is a lot more to it then meets the eye at first
Edit: Upgraded from 4☆ to 5☆, because the mentioned receipt feature was added.-- -- I love the app so far for all features it has, and especially the expense tracking it offers. It would be better if you could snap a picture of a receipt along with the expenses. Even if it had to be linked to Google drive or something for the storage, it would be very useful to have a digital copy of all receipts should a tax audit occur and you didn't save your paper receipts.
Great Tracker!! but Pay Guarantee is Pointless. Trust me, they wouldn't do it if they weren't making a profit. What you won't know until afterwards is that you only get the full guaranteed amount for the hour if you were literally on trips or on your way to trips the entire time. They say there's an added buffer around those trips but don't say how much it is. If you have a slow hour, they will lower (prorate) the guarantee to the amount of minutes you were on trips plus the secret buffer.
When I first started with this app earlier in the year, it was great. It kept an accurate track of my earnings and mileage. Now it is inconsistent in tracking both. I have to constantly clarify work/personal mileage when it used to do well at this on it's own. I can't even count on it tracking the earnings consistently at all. Once this current subscription is over I'll probably look for a better option if this doesn't improve. It also drains my battery quite a bit.
I paid for a 3 month subscription and was very happy with the tracking aspect of the app. What i wasnt happy about was the run around and how much effort and time it required for me to get information i had already paid for after my subscription had ended. I hope in the future solo will discover how to allow easier access to those who have paid a subscription and are no longer in need of the tracking app.
I have tried the free premium of the app. The milage didn't always track. It did sink well with Doordash, but when you do a manual gig (not on their list) you have to figure out what you made and enter it. They give you 5 free credits for the guarantee, but if you are active in the gig, don't drop any orders, but don't get one from the gig they will not guarantee that hour so it becomes waisted. This is the main reason for three stars. Having to figure out pay for manual entries is minor.
It was working well enough at the beginning, but now all of a sudden I'm unable to connect my IC account, which is the platform I use to make the majority of my earnings. Also, since the milage tracking is automatic, most times my trips get mixed together. The ads promoted the "guaranteed earnings" feature but I haven't been able to make use of it as the guaranteed amount per hour is so low that there's really no point. You'd have to be completely incompetent to need the guaranteed earnings.
meh.. It has potential but It doesn't do anything I couldn't easily do on my own and it actually restricts me in many ways when it comes to tracking. I can't go back and edit mileage that I manually put in for example. The guaranteed pay is always less than what you will make so there's no point in wasting your money on tokens for it. Overall the app is simply not worth it for how much they charge you. It's a great idea just poorly executed. Maybe I'll make my own app.
NICE IDEA, IF ONLY IT WORKED RIGHT!!!!!!!! I am ALMOST CONSTANTLY having to relink this app to my platform account and when I hit stop at the end of the day, classify the trip and close the app, the damn thing relaunches and begins tracking again. Other days I open the app to start work and it doesn't begin tracking at all, and I have to manually enter data from another mileage tracking app, making it necessary for not just 1 mileage tracking service but 2!!!
The manual trip tracking toggle switch won't stay on manual when the app is closed, and the location service is draining the battery faster, and I don't believe every user would want to be tracked 24/7 outside of work. I also find it concerning that if a user decides to revert to the free version of the app, they loose all their data that they have paid for during membership. None of the other apps I have used had problems with any of it, and hopefully, it will get fixed.
I want to like this app, but it's more than a little half-baked and some features feel down right scammy. For instance, don't waste your money on their "pay guarantee" because it's not much of a guarantee at all. I would say that their pay insights are helpful, but I have had those insights turnout to be dead wrong (added insult is that when it is dead for 80 minutes and no work is to be had, this is one of many instances where the pay garauntee conveniently does not apply to an hour block).
I would like to give it more, but it seems quite pointless. You need to subscribe to the app and pay them a monthly fee to get guarantees on your earnings, which might be worth it if the guarantees weren't so bare minimum and it wasn't so expensive to buy the credits to guarantee them. I bought credits that I wasn't even able to use, because I was locked out immediately after buying them, which is very shady and almost seems like a scam.
This app is made so poorly I can only bitterly smile that people like me still use it. I hope it'll do it's job come tax season without any bugs. The biggest gripe for me right now is the automatic tracking. It works very weird, and then if you have to review the trips it didn't pick up, you better remember your whole days route because you can't click on an entry and see details or make changes.
It has 7 free trial to be able use all the tools. I wish it didn't required membership plans. Also, the app doesn't feel very helpful for income information and when using Doordash - Dasher and other independent jobs/gigs. I'm just gonna keep looking for another better app and that is completely 100% free to use without a membership plans and free trials.
I downloaded and signed up. Nothing really different from the other free app I already use. If I want to use the features that are mentioned in the ad for this app, they are stuck behind a pay wall. Not mentioned in the ad at all. Bait and switch as always. Ridiculous. I have uninstalled, useless. Edit: got a response expressing that it is subscription based. That is fine. That doesn't bother as much. My problem is that the ad says nothing about that. So they reel you in with 0 promise
I set up my Solo app and thought it was completely free for self-employees. But when I saw the 7-day free trial in the way and was not able to remove it out of the way, I chose to delete my Solo app but couldn't do so. So, I uninstalled and attempted to reinstall the app, but I can't install it. It was an odd and frustrating experience ever!
The app doesn't work very well, it drains your phone battery, milage tracker is off 20 to 30% , your mapping for busy areas is horrible in the app (it's tiny, hard to read, and no way to easily see where you are on the map, let alone it's not accurate), the badges do not work correctly, and the app offers only generic ways to increase pay. The app VERY expensive for what it offers. The basic plan is $10 a month. App doesn't offer even $2 of value. App could be better, but still over priced.
Has basically no useful features. It just wants to charge you a fee for things Doordash already does. There is no reason to download this app at all, much less pay for it. An ad convinced me to download it, but it was just 0 advertising. If the features aren't available everywhere, don't advertise them everywhere. It's just a scam to sucker you out of the money you are earning.
The advertising for this is very misleading. Not until after you fill out the entire sign-up process are you informed that it is a paid service. It's 0 advertising and a deceptive intake. Beyond that, if you've set up an account but haven't paid for the subscription you can't access your profile and full settings, so you can't delete your account. You can charge for a service, but you have to disclose this in advertising and before account sign-up. Very shady and incredibly disappointing.
