I've been using Rover for 6 years now. I had issues with the GPS 3 years ago and it got a little better. But now I'm constantly having to uninstall and reinstall because it won't let me add a photo. Then it will freeze. It is very inconvenient for someone who is trying to make the most out of their time during the day. I have to spend 5-10 extra mins at the end of each visit trying to get the app to work and that usually puts me behind schedule.

I'm still unable to send pictures and videos to clients through the app on my google pixe from one of the updatesl. This is very frustrating when trying to adhere to client requests for photos and updates. When I click the camera icon it goes to my gallery but none of my photos show up. This has been an issue for over a few months now and no updates to fix it.

I use Rover very often as I'm a dog walker/boarder. I keep the app up to date as often as I can, so with the most recent update I'm having issues with the 'Rover Card' for dog walking. I don't know why you changed the format for it but it's no longer logging distance walked even though the map is there. Uploading a picture or using my camera directly to take a picture of the dog I'm walking doesn't work until I have tried multiple times. Please change it back to how it was before.
