Most-Requested Missing Features

Features users are literally asking for in their reviews, ranked by demand.

#1: Job reservation system with 24-hour acceptance window

High Demand
"I wish once the brand accepts you then you'll have a time limit to accept but you have the job"
"I hate that a brand will invite me to something but if I don't accept incredibly quickly the job is taken, there should be a 24 hour period"

#2: Application status tracking dashboard

High Demand
"There's no place to check on the status of the jobs either. Once you apply it just disappears"
"I've applied over 300 jobs yes I've got all my certifications to make videos I've only gotten to level 2 . But now seems I only apply to jobs and never know if I got accepted or even rejected"

#3: Minimum payment thresholds and rate enforcement

High Demand
"The fact that you get paid $5 for a TikTok video should be illegal. I don't know how this is even an option for brands to choose"
"Do not download this application, it's the worst‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ It doesn't give you many opportunities, they only accept jobs of $5!!!!"

#4: Brand accountability system with mandatory response deadlines

Medium Demand
"I don't agree with this new update of not going up the level of photo creators. It's not just smiling at the camera and pressing a button, it's more difficult than it seems"
"the brands even if you ask to give you a review they never respond"

#5: Push notification system for real-time job alerts

Medium Demand
"The mobile app does not send push notifications. By the time I notice a new task, it may already be inactive. This causes stress and makes me constantly check the app for updates"

Build Recommendations

Prioritized actions based on user demand and market opportunity.

Enforce $25+ minimum rates for video content with transparent rate cards by content type

The $5 payment crisis is destroying the market - build a platform that respects creator value with enforced minimums and prevents race-to-the-bottom pricing

Job reservation system: once matched, creators get 24-hour window to accept without competition

The race-to-accept mechanic (losing jobs in 60 seconds) creates massive frustration - guarantee job security once a brand selects you

Brands ship products directly to creators (no upfront payment) with escrow-based payment on approval

Requiring creators to pay upfront and wait 10+ days for reimbursement is exploitative - respectable platforms never ask creators to fund work

Application tracking dashboard showing status (pending/reviewing/rejected) with mandatory 5-day brand response deadline

Creators apply to hundreds of jobs with zero visibility or accountability - build trust through transparency and force brand responsiveness

Guaranteed job availability tiers: Level 2+ creators get minimum 10 job matches/month or platform credits

The Level 2 cliff (where work disappears) is the platform's fatal flaw - guarantee work volume tied to creator tier to build sustainable income
