Tips
- Compare freelancers before choosing
Browse the categories that match your project, then compare available freelancers before placing an order. Fiverr says buyers can use seller ratings and customer reviews to help choose a match. Consider your deadline and budget while weighing the options, and make sure the service description aligns with the work you need completed.
- Keep project conversations accessible
Use Fiverr's buyer-seller communication to discuss what a project requires and keep relevant details in one place. The app description also mentions push and inbox notifications for updates. If you rely on alerts while working away from your desk, look in the app's Settings for notification controls and choose an approach that fits your schedule.
- Make your freelancer profile useful
If you offer services, use Fiverr's mobile availability to keep in touch with prospective customers and existing clients. The app description says freelancers can use the marketplace to increase exposure and improve service, ratings, and response rate. Keep your communication timely and your service information clear so customers can assess whether you fit their project.
Menu names follow the developer's help pages and can differ slightly between versions and phones.
How we write the digest
Each week we check the Google Play listings of the apps our readers use most: the version number, the update date and the developer's What's new notes. When an app has a new version, we put the developer's update notes and the listing details together on one page, in plain words, with a link to the official Google Play listing. Google and most developers release updates in stages over several days, so a version listed here may not have reached your phone yet. GoCompareNow is an independent site and is not affiliated with any developer. This page doesn't read your phone or your Google account, and nothing is installed from here.
FAQ
Is this the official list of Fiverr changes?
No. This is an independent site and is not affiliated with Fiverr. The app's Google Play page is the authority for its official listing and release information. Use that page to review the details shown for the app and to install it through Google Play.
Why does Google Play show Open instead of Update?
Google Play may show Open when the latest build is already available to your account, or when an update has not reached you yet. App releases can be distributed in stages, so availability may vary. Check the Fiverr listing again later if you are expecting an update and only see Open.
Can I use Fiverr to manage a project away from my desk?
Yes. Fiverr describes its mobile app as a place to browse service options, place orders, and get project updates. It also mentions communication between buyers and sellers and push and inbox notifications. The app is intended to let people keep up with work while on the go.
