Let's get to know the app.

Install the App.

Log in:

Once the app is open, log in with the e-mail and password you chose when you first registered. If you've forgotten your password, click on the "Forgot Password" link to reset it.

When you first log in, you'll see a screen like the picture here.

New jobs available to claim will appear under "Available Jobs". Jobs that have been dispatched directly to you, will show up under "My Jobs". Swipe between the 2 screens to glance at your jobs at any time.

Click on the "hamburger" three-lined icon in the top left corner to open a side menu.

On this menu, you'll see your current earnings, as well as links to various sections of the app, including:

If you click on a job in this list, you will see a detailed screen showing you all of the job details as outlined in the next step. If you click on the "map" icon next to the collection address, it will open your chosen map provider on your phone and start navigation towards the collection address. This also works for the delivery address.
