Horrifying experience with bubble app - please share!

The founder of this app is a nightmare and does everything to stop me from sharing my experience, he keeps taking my reviews off Trustpilot so I am sharing this here...

I used to be a babysitter on bubble but had a horrifying experience with their team. I was not happy with the very high fees they are charging us sitters, as I realised that we essentially pay a lot more than parents do. This is not fair to us.

I contacted the team to tell them about it and suggested a change, however the owner itself came back to me and you wouldn't believe it: He only met me with aggression in his email! I was absolutely shocked to be spoken to in this way from the owner. It is like he does not care about its members at all. He wrote very aggressive things, essentially saying that his app is the best and if I don't like it, I can go somewhere else. Wow.

Then the worst: I found out that I got THROWN off the platform. I emailed the team again asking why, even though it was obvious. I asked if we get thrown off the platform for reaching out to share our feedback? I never received a reply…

Furthermore, I left a one star review on Trustpilot, but was told by Trustpilot itself that the founder of bubble asked to take off my review because apparently it’s “not genuine”. I am now doubting in the credibility of Trustpilot themselves. That’s why I am now here sharing my experience because I deserve to have my voice heard.

I urge you - PLEASE don't support this terrible app - you can find much better paid work elsewhere. I know this too well since I have been working as a nanny for over 12 years. It's really not good to be supporting a business that treats members this way, and only we have the power to stop this.

Yes I have to agree. The Bubble delete all negative reviews and are usually quick to post fake reviews.
If you complain about anything, you’re usually kicked off their platform.
I also wouldn’t be surprised the person calling you hysterical is one of their employees as that’s how they operate.
