🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻We’ve been actively boosting my manager’s profile on Upwork—putting in our hard-earned money and savings to get genuine visibility. But sadly, what we’re facing is quite disheartening: a flood of fake job invites. It’s frustrating that despite investing in boosting, the results are nowhere near what was expected. The feature doesn’t seem to actually improve our ranking or visibility, no matter how much effort we put into crafting high-quality proposals.And what’s more concerning is how easily fake jobs are allowed to be posted. Isn’t there any solid verification in place? Freelancers like us are trying to grow and find real opportunities, but the system is starting to feel rigged. It’s like the only people benefiting from this now are YouTubers promoting Upwork or the platform itself.Upwork really needs to step in and do something—because what once felt like a trusted freelancing space now feels like it’s turning into a money trap. Our experience is deteriorating day by day, and it’s genuinely disappointing.

Great platform for freelancers and clients, especially for building long-term professional relationships and finding quality remote work opportunities. The overall experience has been smooth, and the mobileapp is useful for managing proposals, messages, and contracts on the go.However, as an iPad user and digital illustrator, I strongly feel that Upwork should provide a dedicated iPad app instead of only relying on the stretched iPhone version. A proper iPadOS-optimized app with better multitasking support, split-screen compatibility, improved workspace layout, and file management would massively improve productivity for creative professionals, designers, and freelancers who work primarily on iPads.Please consider developing a full-featured native iPad app experience for freelancers. It would make a huge difference.

I love the app - easy applications to jobs - comfortable UI. I have not faced any issues so far. Just one - please provide iPad users with a dedicated application - which merges the portable UI with the desktop application features such as time tracking and contract management. There are several freelancers who I believe would be facilitated if they could use their iPads for portable and flexible workflows if they could use their iPads for a laptop replacement. Do look into this direction - absolutely love the platform and mobile application otherwise.

Upwork is a platform where there are a lot of freelancers and the reason why most people opt for it for trust. However the reality is its not a dependle platform for mission critical projects ( For example if you have a MVP you are trying to build and if that needs to go live in 4 weeks, upwork can ban the freelancer saying they found the freelancer is a fraud and banned from the platform + You wont get the money back). Their excuse would be we are just a "mediator" and i dont help you with any money protection even though we banned the freelancer who have been working on your project).Upwork clearly doesnt support chargebacks ( This is against the regulatory rules of RBI in India and card protection rules). If you really go through the upwork terms and conditions, the moment you raise a chargeback upwork will block you out of the platform. Not recommended for mission critical projects ( But its good for hobby projects and small value projects where you loosing the money wont hurt you).
