Moonlighting: Freelancer Tools Reviews

by Jmtorresnj

After 2 years of being a member of Moonlighting and looking for opportunities, and not finding a single one I could take or being contacted for any opportunities, with my skills and services on this site for hire with no contact incoming, I can definitely say Moonlighting is a scam. There is no work for qualified and employable individuals, even in the densely populated New York and New Jersey areas. Being a highly experienced and skilled, college graduate means nothing on Moonlighting. I don't recommend being a member, paid or free.

Why go to the trouble of offering a free version when you apparently can only make connections with a paid version? I tried contacting five different people who were hiring for projects (one with a top site rating) and each one said that the user could not be found in the system. It smells like a scam. Free vs paid should mean limited access which, if successful at all, would make the paid version (greater access) more attractive to users. Do you really think that anyone (other than a certifiable idiot) is going to pay for an upgraded version of something that didn’t work at all on the free level? Seriously!

I doesn’t matter what is being called, Moonlighting is intercepting the URL calls. For example, instead of opening the email application when I clicked the “App Support” link, it wanted to open this app. Another example, I got an email for an ecommerce site and I clicked to see the daily specials and it opened this app. I will need to delete this application until it gets fixed.

Installed this months ago, still waiting on an ok to hire. meanwhile.. the company reps get spammy with me for jobs to post on their app. look, im not interested in the high-pressure sales mentality. If you have a platform you want people to use, people should want to use it. There should be features that keep people excited about checking in more often and incentives for job posters to come back and get a better insight on who's looking for work in their area. Not emailing every week for leads.

I signed up with the free version and think it’s great. I’m a budding photographer, and I use this space to find local requests for shoots. You can never have your name out there enough, hey! I also created a Moon$hot Story when that feature came out, in which I asked for support from the community to help me buy a new lens. I was able to raise $425 in donations, and I’m so very appreciative to those kind people. Also appreciative to this app for having a platform to receive such funding. My only constructive criticism at this point is that the upload photo quality needs to be improved. Since I’m advertising my work and skill level to potential clients, obviously I want the best possible image to be displayed. Apart from the photography aspect, I’ve found want ads for multiple side jobs that would be easy do and make extra cash. Once I have a bit more time, I fully intend to follow up on these. $60 to cut a grandpa’s small yard? YES PLEASE ;)

I’ve been utilizing this app for my advertising and hiring for the past several years and it has always proven to bring the highest of quality people to my business. If any issues arose, the customer service response has always been immediate and highly effective. They go above and beyond to satisfy their customers. I highly recommend this app if you are looking for services or looking to hire quality people for your own business.

Great experience using Moonlighting and honestly surprised that a ton more people don’t know about it. User-friendly, sleek. The free version seemed really good, but I did like that I could have more connections with the premium version and maybe that lended to me having more success. Highly recommend if you need to hire or if you would want to pick up some extra money (some of my friends have had success with that as well).

As compared to other freelancing platform, Moonlighting is easy and open. Able to find service providers easily in my area without going through a 20 step process. I love Moonbeam for seeing service providers around me, which helps making a decision on who can respond quickly.

Thanks to this app my wife and I have extra time to hang out with our son. It has never been easier to find quality, trustworthy, and reasonably priced professionals to help with everyday chores such as painting, cleaning, putting toys together and even writing invitations for our son’s first birthday . I highly recommend giving it a try!!!

I used this app to find a baseball hitting instructor in my area and was able to get in contact with him via Moonlighting! I’ve continued to use it throughout as an effortless way to pay the instructor after each session. I will definitely continue to use this app in the future .. 5 stars!!

Kinda new to the this app scene. The ease of use was pivotal in my decision to invest in using the this app App. I’ve received many referrals to DJ events that I’d otherwise not have had. I’ve met what I consider “friends” and customers for life. Thanks guys. Keep them coming. 😊👍

So glad I found Moonlighting and this service. I’ve had nothing but positive results. Ive referred others as well and all have had nothing but great things to say. I think it will really change things once more folks are using it.

this app has done a wonderful job creating a user-friendly app that allows for users to connect with other users on the go. Moonlighting creates a smooth transition for users to see their conversations with other users.

Being able to see who is in my area instantly with the MoonBeam tool is very convenient. It saves a lot of time by allowing me to find other locals to work with!
