hipages Job Board for Tradies

Why do i have to pay up to $16 just to spend my time providing a free quote. Most customers abuse the free quoting system and never get back to you.

If your thinking about signing up to hipages read the comments first. It costs $200 to sign up. It costs you around 20 to provide some one with a quote and alot of the time you never hear back from them because they are just looking to see how much something will cost. The app sucks and there website does to.

Most people are just window shopping for prices not actively looking for tradies. Very expensive to quote and no gauruntee of work or the person even replying.

Nice service

Got a new phone (huawei Gr5) and the app crashes as soon as it loads up. I cant do anything on it. I have unistalled it and re installed but still the same. You would think for the prices they charge for leads they could sort there app out. 3 star rating what a joke They updated the app and it's working good now no problems with so far

Why all of a sudden cant you see lead prices now

Good for tradies. Pick and choose to suit your schedule.

Often told by customer support to reinstall the app for one reason or another.

Great app kinda sucks about the lead prices but you can make the most of it if you try.

I am not renewing my subscription with hi pages. The app fails to update causing a loss of leads. Your computing department and also your so called "graphic designers" need to be sacked

Good job

For tech savvy operators their app always fails as i have been a long time member and experienced alot of losted missed opportunities at all of our cost?

Extortion. Your business will fail if you use this app. You will be undercut.

Are you trying to run my business into the ground sort your s*** out no leads on a Saturday are you kidding!!!

Getting allot of blank notifications since update

I wish I had never signed up for this. Overpriced leads. 80% of enquiries are not serious and you just pay the lead price and waste your time to go and speak to people without any results at the end. Everyone wants to do a job close to zero dollars. Rip off. Will not renew for sure.

Just looking at all your reviews, I thought Gumtree was bad for tyre kicking customers by the looks of it this is even worse and we have to pay for the privilege of our time being wasted.

Really happy with app also happy with customer service a small tweak here and there sometimes but nothing is perfect good job guys keep up the great work

It's good for getting jobs but there's a lot of problems

Plastic welding

Since new update it is no longer sending me notifications this is a huge problem as you usually only have seconds to be able to secure a job

Disgusting

Great service for the public, horrible for the tradesman

From last upgrade it doesn't alarm to me so I have to open the app to check all the time. Does it happen to me only?

I just started up today with hi pages. I wish i saved myself the time and trouble, just by reading your reviews here. As everyone states here, this app does not work. Each time i tried to use messages, it would crash, which is not going to be useful to me if i can't access anything through it.my gut told me that this was going to be a bad idea. I should of listened. I can only hope that hi pages will refund my money as i am still in the cooling down period.

Leads are overpriced. People look for the cheapest guy. Some people dont even reply to calls from leads. Completely unfair and illegitimate system. Bad idea to grow your business. Bad investment. Don't waste your time or money!

I wont be renewing with hipages been a member for six year now just a money grab customer service is hopeless they probably mean well but just aren't capable

Lead prices are WAY too expensive. Can never be first to call customer cause app is so laggy and if you are lucky enough to get on to them, the next person to call just tries to do it cheaper and under cut your job. Absolute failure of a system. Someone's making money off this and I'll guarantee it won't be anyone except hi pages.

At least 50% of leads are illegitimate and not looking to hire a tradie. Only trying to work out what it might cost to complete. Waste of time and money when we should be quoting legitimate work. HI PAGES refuses to inform lead that it costs trades to contact them. Lead thinks this is a free trade resource. This is killing small trades. FIX IT!!

Not sure if I will continue with this sort of advertising.just as others say.leads are too expensive.customers don't know they are costing businesses. when they want a price for a job.it also appears to be getting harder to win jobs.not a happy tradie

Gave good service when trialed. Once you sign up, customer service and their attitude changes immediately. Fake leads, discrepancies in accounting.

Leads are to expensive i wont be using till leads are cheaper $31 bucks for a lead for people that just want advice in the end or gets someone before you get a chance to speak with them and still get charged!!

So you've been getting some work from this for a few weeks. It seems reasonable you think. Sorry it's a rip off. The price of leads will now rise to anything up to $35 And most of them are tyre kickers. If a lead is a dud you get a free bonus lead but be warned you basicly have to take it. Then you get multiple identical leads in different categories and names. This seems to be a scam but hi pages won't recognize it.

Hi pages job update

For what technical support told me it's a case by case scenario and would not guarantee a refund even if client cannot be contacted. Too much pay per lead and not enough lead becomes a real job. Would be lucky enough to get one job per week for a heafty price. I just noticed that technical support does not check anything that is on this review.

There is no notifications coming up. Only when I open app. Fix it asap so won't missing

I used it as a painter and served me well to begin with... but then you find out a lot of flaws. 1. The majority of clients are looking for the cheapest tradie. 2. There's unregistered painters going for your jobs. 3. Too competitive on prices and not quality of work. Etc. It needs to be monitored properly.

Needs to display how many people have accepted the lead. Needs to automatically remove posts when all the leads have been taken. Just wastes time. An emphasis needs to be put on customer descriptions. Most are woefull and if you click that accept button who knows what you'll actually get. I'm an electrician so it would be nice to know... single/double storey, tin/tile and things like having a steel frame roof or solid walls BEFORE spending money.

Mine never capitalizes the first letter in messages. I cant remove uneanted (wait listed ) leads. I suggest adding a catagories feature so I can put leads into categories such as lost leads, won leads, no reply leads, etc.

What has gone wrong .Since the start of this year I get notifications in my emails but not on the phone quickly as last year. .Often therefore receiving any job inquiries too late and they have been taken by others...Not impressed. Not getting in my jobs board.
