Description
Through Simbi, can you turn your talents and passions into experiences that just make your life better. Here, talent is currency.
Simbi is a community of likeminded artists, businesspeople, and progressives freely offering and receiving one another's skills. Thousands of people use Simbi every week to get services they couldn't otherwise afford, share their talents, and meet new people.
Members can exchange with each other directly, or just offer their service in exchange for credits that can be redeemed for other services in the network.
Download the app today, and start off with 50 credits just for joining.
Here's how it works:
1. OFFER A SERVICE: What do you love to do? Show the community what talents you have to offer.
2. FIND A MATCH: Get matched up with those looking for what you're offering. Discover people offering services that will enrich your life.
3. EXCHANGE: Swap services directly, or give your service in exchange for credits.
You can redeem your credits to get other services you’d like (e.g. massages, graphic design, babysitting, fitness training, etc.). To earn more, simply provide a service to the community. With Simbi, the more you give, the more you get.

Ratings and Reviews
It's so slow!
As mentioned by another user, it does lag a lot. After every time I go back, I have the spinny wait thing for about 10 seconds before I can do anything on the screen. It's slow like the days of dial up and the beginning of the internet.
Nice idea, but not very useful
On the surface Simbi seems like a nice idea: trade your skills for someone else's, no money necessary. But, there are some issues. Simbi has its own point/currency system, which IMO defeats the purpose of using it in the first place. I've also been surprised by the very limited services I can find on here, and how difficult it's been to find anyone interested in 'trading.' This is made worse than it needs to be because Simbi forces new users to interact with other new users first, thus severely limiting your pool for potential trades. This has left me with few options, and I'm simply not interested in trading my hard-earned skills for a 20 minute ukelele lesson or tarot card reading. Will most likely be deleting the app today. Oh well.
Needs work
Simbi was built on great ideas, but there is a lot that needs to improve. The app and community both need some fixing.
While the idea of trading work for work sounds brilliant and wonderful (and it is!) many people post lazy "services" that are a dime a dozen and not worth the time it takes to work out a deal. Some of the services and things people post to sell are a joke. The staff needs to start reviewing what goes on the website and posting caps on similar services.
I enjoyed it at first but due to the poor quality of work and terrible experiences I've had trying to trade graphic design work for other services, I've since stopped using it. I would rather charge money for my services and pay for the things I need. Investing money holds people accountable. Many on Simbi could learn a thing or two about accountability and professionalism.
Simbi, again, is a great idea but it is being implemented in a terrible way.
