•         Carpentering

•         Plumbing

•         Electricals

•         Tiling

•         Cleaning

•         Controlling

•         … and more.

In this blog post, I’ve shared 5 essential & useful features that every handyman mobile app must have.

1 Finding Nearby Handyman

When we think about mobile apps, convenience & smart work comes to our minds. Isn’t it?

We expect utility mobile apps to make our lives easier by providing us all that we want in our daily routine. So, when it comes to handyman clone app for providing “on-demand” handyman or service provider, its mandatory to take care of the users’ convenience in finding the nearest handyman.

A user who needs a handyman to fix up any problem that he may be facing & searching for them through a mobile app, definitely need instant services. He may not like to wait for a handyman who will come after a few hours or the next day.

Payment Convenience

Users don’t want to get into the inconvenience of payment methods as well.

Providing different seamless payment methods is not optional, but mandatory for your app users as they can make payment according to their convenience. Additionally, the payment options must be faster and safer as well.

An app for handyman must accept all the major & prevailing payment methods such as:

•         Credit Cards

•         Debit Cards

•         Mobile Payments

•         COD (if applied)

Forcing the users to pay through the payment methods they are not familiar & comfortable with, may result in fewer loyal customers and can also affect the branding of the company.

Ratings & Reviews

Customers feel proud of themselves when they leave good ratings for any service provider or company. And by the same token, they feel heard when they are allowed to express their disappointments and leave bad ratings for any service provider who have not provided expected services to them.

Instant Booking & Scheduling

Now this is a feature that not all handyman clone app has. Most of the app have the feature to book a handyman instantly.

What about the users who intend to book for a later date, due to any reason?

For instance, a user who wants to get some carpentry work to be done but not on the same day, and rather following week because of his unavailability at home.

Tracking Service Provider

Like any other smart mobile app like “Uber”, an leading handyman clone app must also have the option for the customers to track the service providers after they confirm the services. Tracking the handyman allows customers to know their exact location and an estimated time of their arrival.
