HELP with GIGSPOT issue? Do you use GIGSPOT? What do you think of it?

I recently enrolled in Gigspot. Overall... I like it. It's nice to have consolidated information in 1 spot. However, I do quite a bit of work for a company that does parking shops. The ability to search for locations that I want and info to select the scenerios that I prefer is just not there in Gigspot. I would prefer to use the classic website for just this 1 company. It looks to me like I need to choose between using GIGSPOT for all companies or classic websites for all companies. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks!

Yes. Most of us. You have to choose one or another. It's all or none.

I use Gigspot with no issues.

I like Gigspot for the most part. I do wish their search was much better. I would love it if they would make the search more like Sassie, where you put in the miles and everything pops up at once.

If you accept the agreement with the MSP on Gigspot then you seem to have to access that provider only on Gigspot going forward has been my experience. When you try to access the MSP directly through their own website, it tells you that you have to now access it through Gigspot. If I'm wrong about that, let me know.

You might be able to reach out to the company and see if they can update your profile for the traditional website.

I contacted gig spot and asked them to be removed. They did so promptly. I hated that i was not able to search by distance and i couldnt even log into the websites separately. Even presto has a better search and you can still click on and go to the msc website.

I dropped out when I could not enlarge the instructions through Gigspot on a shop where I forgot my glasses. I have not been able to enable notifications since that time.

Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.

Absolute garbage. How can one be expected to write (and rewrite) a narrative of any quality on a small screen using a phone keyboard?

Use an alternative e-address to register for Gigspot just so one can receive the emails about open shops and then do those shops on the regular UI.

We text using phones, we send emails, we write social media posts and respond to them.....I have no issues with short narratives, but I do agree that long ones should not be pecked out on a smart phone. I have never had an issue reporting from my phone for shops on those intended platforms. I will always prefer using my laptop.

I used Gigspot. Hated that I couldn't use MSC website too. I emailed them to remove me. They did.

I generally decline to shop if the client requires me to use GigSpot.

I've been on the fence if I want to use Gigspot or not. It's just a massive PITA searching on there as many others have said. The inability to see the full details, rotation, and other important details of a shop sucks. Not being able to browse shops on a map along the route of a trip I'm taking sucks.

I may do what Rousseau suggested and disassociate my main MS email and sign up for each company.

You can use Gigspot on a computer, if you do need the larger screen.
