★★★★★The best team🇺🇸 US

I have had an excellent experience working here. The work environment is positive, my coworkers are friendly, and everyone is willing to help and work as a team.

★★★★★It works. It pays🇺🇸 US

Good Gig App

Perfectdsean· 2026-05-31
★★★★Location in vs commute to vs accessible🇺🇸 US

The location permission means the app may only suggest shifts that have long commutes or inaccessible while hiding shifts where you can commute to by public transportation or a ride. Live in the suburbs and commute to metro city, but not go in the opposite direction? Shift is 30 min with car but if public transport goes there the commute is like 4 hours in Chicago metro? Does public transportation go to this location? How much would an Uber cost if available in that location? Makes app not helpful to me.

★★★★Great work app🇺🇸 US

This app really helps in a clutch but I feel like gig work is just that and you should be given the benefit of the doubt until you don’t deserve it and not have to fight so hard for shifts. Also the support chat answers at a delay.

★★★★★I love Instawork🇺🇸 US

Instawork changed my life. Made over 75k on it

★★★★★Instaworker🇺🇸 US

Shift access is okay depending on experience. I enjoy the flexibility and work where I want. My only issue is the shift access. They’ll say in order to receive more shift access you need to verify information but it doesn’t make sense if you always worked a shift within that position with instacart. Other than that it’s great. There are some great shifts with great pay and I’ve worked with the best instawork people.

★★★★★INSTAWORK ACTUALLY WORKS!🇺🇸 US

Super easy to sign up and get the process started! Shifts are always available for you! 😊

brianacpiggue🐝· 2026-05-30
★★★★★Not the worst, not the best🇺🇸 US

You can definitely make some extra money. Beware that even though you are automatically penalized for canceling a shift within a certain time frame, and companies are supposed to pay half for cancelling on you within that same time frame, the app may allow them to use false reasoning for cancelling and get away with not paying you. Happened to me about 3 weeks ago and still no help from support. Don’t expect to be able to speak with a real person if something goes wrong. Unfortunately you’ll just have to take that L. They want you to do a lot of extra work just to verify your old jobs which is so pointless to me. Regular jobs don’t even require that much verification.
