I was really excited for this app — but it falls short of my expectations. I was hoping it would bring together a bunch of on-demand meal delivery options (Spoonrocket, Thistle, Postmates, Spring, Munchery, Eat24, Caviar) but the “TodaysMenu” channel just shows one meal from one app "Italian Meatballs with Spicy Tomato Sauce and Spaghetti - $8.00". I thumbs-downed it hoping to get more options, but it just stays there. Clicking "link" takes me to the SpoonRocket site and shows ALL meal options from SpoonRocket, not just the one Tapster shows... and it doesn't deeplink into the SpoonRocket app on my phone. Clicking "Location" on any card seems to be broken. I also added the NPR channel (?!?!). All these on-demand services have a huge brand component, and by abstracting that away, it weakens the experience. I’m much less excited about “#Flowers” than I am about the Bloomspot I know and love, with their burlap and their bike messengers. I’m also much less excited about “#PremiumCar” than I am about Silvercar. In summary, I would love an on-demand consolidation and discovery service. Tapster seems to commodifying the on-demand experience in a way that, frankly, makes it worse.

@maiab Thanks for your feedback. In fact it's great to read such an insight, since these problems are exactly what we are solving in the next version of product. We use partner cards which ensures the experience is as intended by the service. One step at a time. Thanks again, we'll keep you in the loop with the updates =)

Tapster is the first app to bring together 40+ on-demand services (food, transport, nightlife, massage, laundry, essentials & more). Launching in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York. Instantly find all the on-demand services in one place. The services appear at the right time and right place in the form of cards. Tapster alerts you about everything that matters to you like your personal concierge. Find and order anything instantly from all your favorite on-demand services. In the morning, Tapster alerts you with the morning news. In the afternoon, find all the meals available across all food delivery services in one single menu card. As you walk around the train station, you can find the nearest workspace to quickly reserve or bike to rent out for the day. In the evening, find out the hottest parties in town and reserve your table ahead of everyone. Since there are tons of different “single purpose” on demand apps out there, it was about time someone organized them.

Definitely feel the friction of having different services for essentially performing one simple task. The opportunity to bundle everything up into a simple task needs to be capitalized on and I think Tapster has an incredible vision for the future of on demand services. Excited to see where this is headed!

Hey everyone ! Apurv - CEO of Tapster here. After week long sprints of all-nighters, sweat and coffee building products, we realized that on-demand services are great to get anything you need, especially when you are focused on something important. Getting mundane tasks done is just awesome. But with hundreds of different on-demand apps, switching and keeping up with the new menus is awful. So, we decided to weave these services together. Tapster is also great for the “long tail of on-demand services” where you might use the service once in a month, downloading and discovery is not convenient. App surfaces relevant services with contextual intelligence and a proprietary habits engine. The services are converted into cards that shuffle based on time and place. Cornell researchers found that people make around 227 decisions about food alone every day. “Food alone, Carl!” This constant need to make decisions and switching between apps leads to decision fatigue and choice anxiety. With Tapster, we are rethinking how people access services around their habits and bringing everything to one place. In the next version of the app, users can order with one-tap and pay directly through Tapster. Let us know what you think !
