Spark Flow Feels Completely Different Since 4.40 Update”
Anyone else noticing really weird Spark behavior this past week?
I’m not talking about just “slow days.” I mean the whole flow feels different.
For me, it started right around the time Spark updated to version 4.40 last Thursday.
Here’s what I’ve been seeing since then:
- Long periods of complete silence
- Way fewer Round Robins / “Just for You”
- FCFS offers appearing randomly
- Some decent offers disappearing instantly
- Other bad offers sitting there
- Map still showing activity, but actual flow feels off
- Sam’s and multiple Walmarts acting inconsistent
What’s strange is I’m surrounded by multiple stores (4 Walmarts + Sam’s), so normally at least ONE location is active. But lately the whole zone feels different.
I even tested side by side today with my wife’s Spark account on another phone just to compare behavior, and her account also wasn’t getting flooded with offers either. That made me think this may be more of a zone/dispatch/algorithm issue instead of just one account.
Support keeps saying: “Your metrics are excellent.” and “It may be something affecting your area right now.”
So now I’m wondering:
- Did version 4.40 change dispatch behavior?
- Are more drivers seeing less visibility per account?
- Is Memorial Day traffic changing the algorithm?
- Is anyone else seeing more fragmented/random order flow lately?
Not trying to sound conspiratorial. Just genuinely trying to figure out if others are seeing the same thing and what usually happens after this.
Does it normalize after a while? Does Spark eventually recalibrate? Or is this just the new normal now?
