Previously great, but going downhill
When I originally installed Cashew—it was great. There were surveys, missions, club missions, etc. They updated the app sometime over the last year though, and the only remaining features are the surveys, missions, and the ability to add friends.
Also, the issues with surveys has become more widespread. At first, I’d get a survey ban for a little bit after a technical issue, but it was maybe one in fifty surveys. We shouldn’t get disqualified from surveys having technical issues at all—that is not the fault of the participant (there’s no way to report what happened when a survey suddenly closes like on every other survey app I use). Now, it’s about one in ten—and this includes the profile survey. I have tried to complete the profile survey five times—and each time an error at the end disqualifies me from surveys until I “complete a satisfactory amount of surveys”. And there’s no way to report this to support—they’ve removed the support link from the app (to be fair, I sent NUMEROUS messages to support “about six months ago before the support link disappeared from the app and got NO response).
I’m working on getting my last cash out (I’m halfway there and in-between jobs at the moment), and then I’m deleting this app.

I don’t think I’m the only one
So when I first started using this app it was I’d say pretty good but then I’ve started experiencing that a lot of surveys I’m not qualifying for and getting scolded or dinged or punished by warnings saying if continues my earnings or use of app will in a sense be locked out until either I make a good survey completed honestly I’m gonna announce the elephant in the room by saying this. It’s not fair to scolded or punish your survey takers it’s downright shameful. If this is how they act punishing those just because they don’t qualify for a survey and it’s no fault of there own. Downright shameful I don’t know about anyone else or if they have experienced same from time to time on this app but I’d have to say I don’t think they deserve a lot of us survey takers if that’s how they act to scold us when we don’t qualify for surveys maybe a lot of people should not use this app. Maybe if nobody uses this app they can go bankrupt because it’s downright shameful to punish your survey takers if they don’t qualify down right pitiful.

Earning Potential Not As Good As Other Survey Apps
When I first started using this app I feel like the ability to earn a few extra bucks was a lot easier to achieve with Cashew but now that the option to choose where to direct and level up your point given with each new level achieved(whether it be increased survey payout percentage or a set balance increase of a few cents to get you closer to cashout minimum) has been removed the ability to earn a few cents per survey has made it not even worth attempting any surveys to make it to cashout eligibility. It’s become more difficult and time consuming to get a few cents if you qualify and other apps like Eurkeka and Survey Spin and Attapoll require much less time and effort to obtain cashout minimum and more ways of earning as well and much easier to work for those few dollars now and this one not even worth the effort for such little rewarded effort now.
