Is DoorDash Tasks legit?

Run by DoorDash itself and covered widely at launch (NBC News, TechCrunch, WIRED). The app has 4.8 stars from 5.3K App Store ratings. Reviewers report modest earnings, roughly $30–50 a week or a couple of dollars per chore, plus some reliability problems. DoorDash's general Trustpilot page (1.1/5) covers the delivery service, not Tasks.

Does it pay? mixed

What you do

Dashers use DoorDash's standalone Tasks iPhone app to film themselves doing everyday chores (laundry, dishes, cooking, making a bed, repotting plants) or to record conversations in other languages, for AI and robotics training. The regular Dasher app also lists short photo tasks, such as photographing restaurant dishes or hard-to-find drop-off points.

What we couldn’t confirm

There is no Tasks-specific sign-up page on DoorDash's domains. official_url is the Dasher sign-up, because DoorDash's Tasks page sends workers there and WIRED signed up as a Dasher to use the app. Whether non-Dashers can use Tasks is not stated. age_min 18 is the Dasher minimum (19 in some states, such as Florida); the app itself is rated 16+. Tasks' payout method and timing are not published; one App Store reviewer says the app promises payment within 24 hours. The 34-state App Store list is narrower than the newsroom's exclusion list (for example, Texas, Georgia and Illinois are not on it).
