Can’t believe. Only just had a notification that a favourited sit had come up & it’s already closed & reviewing applications. Very annoying.

Unfortunately it happens all the time for popular listings. I preferred it when homeowners could pause listings at any time rather than have the THS system pause it for them at five applications.

There must be a delay/lag in getting notifications? There is no way within 1 minute 5 people applied.

Yes it seems to be quite common and I got the same just this morning. It’s been discussed a lot on the forum

I am pretty sure not everyone gets alerts at exactly the same time. Sitters are in different time zones and I have seen listings disappear before I have even finished reading the details.

I have favorited sits in a very pop. location. I need to push the notification button within a minute or so to be able to apply. If I do that I am able to press dates and apply-button every time. For the location I am not at all surprised that five people will press the button within a minute or tw…

THS probably sends out push notifications when the sit already has rached “reviewing”-status. This is annoying sitters. It is disappointing them every time they click. Many switch off those notifications completely because of this. If I were THS management, I would tell tech that it was a priority…

For fast to fill locations, I’m certain that they’re full before the chron job runs and that there is no functionality in place to eliminate alerts for listings that are in review status. Yes, it is a needed improvement. But I doubt it’s high on their list of things to do.
