Thank god I read these reviews! I enrolled with HomeRun a few weeks ago. After registering my interest in a man with a van, I quickly received a phone call from a man offering to provide his service for £28. Oddly, however, I then received an email from them saying the best quote was £120 which is outright extortion! I wanted to move a single chair from my mum's house to her care home, just 4 miles away.
Clearly Homerun do not provide 'best quotes' and worse still, I feel that they are breaching the GDPR by passing my mobile number to other tradesmen. I am not happy!!
To be honest these guys with floods of job every 5 minutes seems just like a joke to me, they charge your card with a minium of £30 you bid for the job to find out you dont get the job, then with the same average they keep poping up just to drain your money, peronally I will not recommedn them to anyone, whoever did is based in Delaware in the USA which is a very hidden location for such a business to scam people in the UK, I dont recommend them to no oneUpfront costs – You’re charged a minimum of £30 just to bid on a job.No guarantee of work – You pay, but often don’t get the job.High frequency of irrelevant job alerts – Designed to make you keep paying and bidding.Suspicious business location – Registered in Delaware, USA, but targeting UK workers, which can make accountability difficult.

Let's start with the good. Not many people use this website and therefore you have a higher chance of winning a bid (but not really, I'll come to that later). The website and the app are pretty clean and easy to use. I find the website is a little better than the app. That's pretty much it. When you provide an offer, you have the option to see the phone number for the customer, which is useful.Now the bad parts.- They charge you per offer you provide. There is NO calculation and therefore you may bid £9 on one flat pack assembly, and £1 on another.- You pay for offers, regardless if you win them or not. Either way, you lose. As I mentioned about the offer costs above, can vary. I have yet to see any emails stating a job was confirmed, and I lost out. No idea if these jobs are even real.- No customer ever answers their phone, not the problem of the software, but makes me wonder what is going on.- Sent a couple of emails to support, and have yet to receive a response, it's been at least 2 weeks now. Did not receive an automated response to say they had received the original email.I know it's only four cons, but when you see how the software runs, it makes no sense to keep at it. The cons outweigh the pros. I use other apps, and have made more on them than on here. I shall not be topping up the pot.
Received a quote for an independent Building Controller. The person that responded took the identity of a genuine company, emailed a fake document after being paid and has now disappeared. Homerun have no vetting so anyone can register, commit fraud and then disappear. Great app for criminals
Unfortunately I gave them my number and my name etc before checking the reviews on Trustpilot, after I gave my number to this website I started to receive messages and calls from scammers with landline from other parts of the world. After that I deleted my account but I still receive the calls I'm really upset!! DO NOT SHARE YOUR NUMBER WITH THIS WEBSITE EVER!! BE CAREFUL!
