What did you like?

What did you dislike?

- The website is not responsive, and the design is outdated. It looks like the site was made for low-class workers and professionals may hesitate to join.
- Buttons are not prominent, so it's a bit hard to identify.
- Pagination and sort by drop down areas are too small and hard to read.
What do you think can be improved about the system?
- The whole layout and design should be changed.
- The Registration process should be simplified.
- Should minimize the post backs

What did you dislike?

MobileWorks
What do you like about the system / what are its strengths?
- The bottom layer of workers can work with the system
- They have built the system to support low-end phones. So, people don't have to invest much in equipment.
- People can work from anywhere anytime. Which is a massive plus point.
What do you think can be improved about the system?
- The system should have multiple language support. Because, most of the low-level workers have limited knowledge in international languages and they can only handle their mother tongue.
