Scam

This is a complete scam. Do not waste your time. They gave me 51 items to record. I recorded them accurately and completely in my home office with no noise at all. Not even a fan running and I even shut down my air filtration system. 10 days after I submitted my recording I got them back to do them over because of background noise. I listened to every one of them and there was no background noise at all. They are using these recordings and don’t want to pay for them. Do not deal with these thieves.

Scam Scam Scam

Update…..Months later and still no pay. I finally see the invoice but it’s still pending and no bonus as promised.

Rejecting/taking back acceptances randomly

Like another person said; don’t waste your time

Scam Alert

Horrible

You can’t even attempt to do a task and you keep saying the bug is fixed and it’s not

App is Awful

This app is one of the worst apps I have ever worked with. While working on a project, the app kept crashing, and the stop button wasn’t responsive.

Lag

I’ve tried multiple times to get onto the app and start a task, but it buffers for so long before opening and once I actually get onto a task to start, it kicks me off. I’m not sure what’s going on and I’ve tried everything I can to get it to work for me. Money is nice but the stress is really upsetting.

Hi. Thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear about the problem. There was a technical malfunction with the app that should now have been fixed. Please try to uninstall and then re-install the app, and make sure you have the latest version. This should solve the issue. If you still have problems, please contact us at df_community@transperfect.com

If the app functioned

If the app functioned, I'd give it a different rating. But it freezes and crashes as soon as I press record for an audio task. Very curious what the quality release process is for this app.

Horrible speed

This app is unusable, when I do the task that requires audio my app turns into a potato after i hit the record button. Not even with the trouble

SCAMMERS

Please do not waste your time to work with them. They claim it can take up to 3 months to receive payment. Meanwhile they harass you with emails to try to get you to sign up for more jobs. Read the other reviews before you make a decision

Response from developer

Cheated

I was unfairly disqualified after finishing my job. I feel cheated because it took me so much time to record, re record and re record those 108 tasks

Never got Paid

I have emailed them with no response. It’s crazy that they emailed me to do resubmission, I made sure it was perfect and they refuse to even answer me. So sad especially to specifically request a black person and not pay them

Response from developer

Hi Tatiana. Please reach out to us at df_community@transperfect.com and we will help you out any way we can. Please know that we always pay for work that has been delivered and accepted according to the project requirements.

Cheated

Offered bonus to do recordings. Didn't receive bonus as promised. They claimed I didnt meet deadline. Well, I completed 250 by deadline, then mysteriously 2 were rejected. Nothing wrong with them, and I wouldnt have even known they were rejected unless i had went into app to check.
So now they could say it wasnt completed in time.
That's fishy to me.
Without the bonus, the pay rate is not worth the time and effort - if every recording requires 3 seconds of silence before and after, thats at least 10 seconds per task. Times that by eg 250 tasks, add in the upload time and a few retakes, thats a good chunk of time for not enough money.

App is fine , just re-install

When DF assigned me 30 tasks I experienced the slowdowns people have mentioned in the reviews.
Reboot didn’t help so I deleted the app and re-installed.
Works fine for me now .

Response from developer

Hi. We are glad you found a solution. We appreciate the review, thank you.

They Never Pay Out

Scam, as another reviewer said. I’ve done a number of jobs for them and 1) they take forever to review the work and then 2) simply never pay.
Save your effort and time, and avoid them.

Takes back job acceptance

It’s a shame because I have successfully completed audio tasks and been paid out in the past, about a year ago, no issues. But quality and communication with this company has gone down hill. Just recently, after a few rejected qualification jobs, I did qualify, saw this in the app, and received an email from Vivianne stating the above. Then I get emailed very late updates on the previous job rejections, they remove the full job from my job list, and delete my previous successfully completed qualifier. When asked, Vivianne refused to address why she told me I had qualified and to claim the full job. Guess it was a “mistake”. So I am done with dataforce, deleted my account. Don’t even recommend trying because you won’t get anyone honest or competent here.

We’re sorry to hear you did not have a good experience and did not receive enough support from us. Please know that whenever you have doubts you can always reach out to your project team or to df_community@transperfect.com

You’re going to have problems with payment

Any voice data projects, you’ll going to go thru multiple times for “quality” issues. Then there’s going to be a delay in payment. I haven’t had a single project yet that wasn’t delayed or passed the timeframe they said it would be.

Response from developer

Hi We're sorry for any inconvenience you might have experienced while collaborating with DataForce - payment related or otherwise. We are always trying to improve our contributor experience, so we appreciate your feedback.

Scam scam scam

Website says audio jobs available but must be done in the app after downloading the app there are no audio jobs still haven’t been paid from submitting photos says I can do up to 30 but only 10 is allowed. Scam.

Response from developer

Hi anastasiaencina. We always pay for work that has been delivered and accepted according to the project requirements. Please contact us at df_community@transperfect.com and we will look into the matter.

Horrible to Work With

The company is horrible. They make you rerecord hours of recordings for no boost in pay (which is already low) and when you voice your concerns they just say “we’ll get someone to replace you.” No sympathy.

Response from developer

Hi. We’re sorry to hear you did not enjoy collaborating with DataForce. Please know that whenever you need assistance, you can always contact us at df_community@transperfect.com and we will look into the matter, and help resolve it.

Working for free

Don’t do this if you plan on making money with it. I see their postings all over LinkedIn huge scam.
