Pickle

It doesn’t matter who you are, we all need help from time to time. And that’s where the Pickle comes to your rescue.

Whether it’s something major (your car battery is flat, and you urgently need a jump start) or something minor (you fancy a tub of ice cream, but don’t want to leave the house. Yes. Really), Pickle will find the right person for you.

From hanging a painting, grooming a cat or making a dress, to recruiting a cheesy DJ for your house party, completing a work presentation, or finding someone to buy you a bunch of flowers (you old romantic, you), this is THE app to get anyone out of a pickle.

Connecting people-in-a-pickle with local tradesmen, craftsmen, designers, students or anyone willing to help out for a fee, Pickle cuts out the costs and timeframes associated with advertising, marketing and even word of mouth, providing a one-stop-marketplace for instant, local business in just a few taps.

Unlike other ‘task apps’ on the market, Pickle has no fixed pricing structure, allowing fixers to bid for jobs (giving everyone that competitive edge) and allowing users to negotiate costs (because everybody loves a bargain). The live bidding model ensures that customers get value for money by securing the best possible price.

How it works. In a nutshell:
o Download the Pickle app and register
o Open the app, post your location on the Pickle map
o Post your job, timeframe and name you price
o Watch and wait while fixers bid for your job
o Accept an offer
o Once the job is complete; pay via the app and rate your fixer

Pickle helps Londoners to help others; sharing problems to solve problems.
