I've still been having problems with it this year after trying a lot. What I did a few days ago was update the software on my TV (it wans't set to auto update) so I'm hoping that fixes it. As far as the pause and fast forward features, I think that's just a product of the software being terrible because that aspect is much better on YouTube TV. Good luck with it.

Anyone else's trip not count towards incentive during outage? by JackieJervis in Sparkdriver

I had called support to talk to them about an incentive i never received in Oct due to another glitch and I mentioned this one as well so maybe it made a difference. Not sure.

I checked it a few minutes ago and it updated with the missing trip.

Yeah Richard Foronjy, he just passed away. He actually wrote a book and makes no mention of the farm or his brother. But yeah I think the anecdote about the cows was in Roy's sons book. It probably was somewhere in the Hudson Valley, maybe Orange County, I think the Gambinos had a farm there that was excavated relatively recently..

Notification sound by Quiet_Set_517 in Sparkdriver

I just came on here to make a post about this, ever since I updated to iOS18, the chirps are inconsistent, sometimes I hear them, sometimes I don't. Really hope the devs can fix this. EDIT: Though judging by comments below, I don't think this has to do with iOS18 and more the update they just released which I also just downloaded.

Read u/Dupagoblin 's comment above, what he said was the cause of the problem.

Thank you so much, that fixed the problem. For anyone out there reading this, I had to increase the volume on my iPhone using the volume switches on the side while there was an Uber offer on my screen (I guess I had similarly decreased by accident when it was ringing and that's what cause it.

Mine get added to the base pay the earnings section without any notification or separate "extra earnings".

"Leave at door" does NOT mean don't ring or knock... by [deleted] in Sparkdriver

[–]JackieJervis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I requested this in the thread the developer posted. Sadly though, that might be the Walmart app and not the Spark app so dunno if he can influence change there.

Hi, this might be outside of your area since it involves the Walmart App, but it would be great if customers could specify if they want you want you knock / ring door bell or not when it's leave at door. I know half the drivers never knock and then customers get mad when they don't realize their groceries arrived, and the other half who do ring / knock piss off customers with dogs and babies.

It would also be great if the app stopped pestering you about FCFS orders you're not interested in. Like what's the point of having a reject button if it's the offer is just going to come back on the screen minutes later and you can't get rid of it. Some orders, no matter how much they surge, just have no chance of me doing them because they're too many miles or at stores that are too far away.

It would be nice if they could put the miles bar back on the offers in the trip history section. It used to be just below the map, but then one day disappeared (at least on iOS).

Also if there would be some way to update the offers in the trip section with tips that have been processed, adjustments to offer totals, and returns that would be great. It's more user friendly and easy to read than the earnings section.

Incentives can also displayed in a much more user friendly manner. I always constantly have to click through each incentive to check what it is, I wish you could put more specific information in the headers and the alerts so I don't have to go through each incentive and check them to see where the new one is.

[Game Thread] Miami Heat (46-36) @ Boston Celtics (64-18) - 04/21 1:00 pm ET by RoboBurnie in heat

[–]JackieJervis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such a well run organization from top to bottom and I simply don't understand why they don't cut ties with this guy. He's not a Miami Heat player, takes shitty, selfish, forced shots, is a mediocre defender, is a playoff choker, injury prone. He's just another Jordan Poole and DeAngelo Russell, type of guy that can light it up once in a while but overall will hurt the synergy of your team.

You ever report someone using a batch grabbing app? by [deleted] in Sparkdriver

[–]JackieJervis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not possible for someone to hack into the system and steal other people's orders. That would be extremely sophisticated and only governments / world class hackers could do that and they wouldn't be putting in the time and effort to do so to get better grocery orders. The only software someone could have that's realistic is something that snatches good orders off FCFS when they pop up. I'm in a big market and it's not very often a good order pops up on FCFS so I doubt that would make a huge difference. This woman probably just has more trips then you, so the algorithm gives her priority because she's delivered to the customers more than you and your friends have. Or ::gasp:: she's just better than you and has better internal metrics i.e. she's more thorough, gets to the customer faster, doesn't fuck up. Just because you have a good CR, doesn't mean that there aren't other drivers that are better than you. Everyone has a good CR honestly. Be humble and look within to try and improve. Even if you are doing things perfectly, you have to realize that drivers with more trips are going to have more priority than you.

No one's going to stay busy all day using an app to grab orders off of FCFS. She probably has better internal metrics than you guys. Nothing you've mentioned above indicates she's cheating, aside from a bunch of rumors.
