Been using this app a while and enjoy it. A lot of the criticisms Im seeing are unfair, so before you write this one off,
• You arent going to make huge amounts of money off this app, but its definitely worth it if you live in an urban/suburban area. Its nice to check if youre already going to be out and about so you can pocket an extra $5-$15 while youre already out or can check it when youre planning on running errands and can plan around the jobs you accept.
• I havent had nearly the same amount of trouble the other negative reviews did. The instructions are pretty clear. Yes, they will absolutely reject your job for crooked photos, but the instructions will explicitly say they reject jobs for that reason. You have to read EVERYTHING and pay attention to the details. They WILL tell you why things are rejected. Ive also had conversations with customer service and had a rejection reversed before. I also got a deadline extension when I misread some info on a product test. Most of the customer service people are nice, prompt, and arent unreasonable.
• The screeners arent obvious scams. What they are doing is obviously looking for people that shop at specific stores, have memberships at specific places, buy specific types of products, etc. Your age, whether you have kids or pets, what stores are in your area, etc. also play HEAVILY into job availability.
• A lot of companies that jumped on the bandwagon when Field Agent first launched seem to have dropped their contracts, so their is less work than their used to be. But, availability rises and falls. You will definitely see a lot more work if you fill out screeners daily, and there are more jobs in the spring, around back to school season, when seasonal items are changing over in stores, when stores are doing a lot of demos and launching new products (think November), etc.
