What happened to this app?
This used to be my favorite survey app and I’ve used it for years to help me buy my kids gifts for Christmas, but it’s changed. All of a sudden, I can’t do any surveys due to fraudulent activity. I don’t understand. This used to be honest and trustworthy. Now I’m stuck at $21 and can’t get anything else. I’m thinking of uninstalling, which is sad bc I’ve used it for so many years and I’ve enjoyed it so much. I’m honest and consistent with my answers. As a college student, I’m aware how companies use surveys for their products, so I remain trustworthy and honest throughout the surveys. I’ve never had this happen before. Did someone else take over or something? I’m so disappointed. I haven’t uninstalled yet bc I’m hoping they’ll get there stuff together, but at this point, it’s useless. I can’t do anything! It won’t let me do any surveys at all! There are other survey apps that I’ve been doing for years as well. Looks like I’m going to have to stick to those. But I do hope ipoll gets it together. I miss when it worked properly. I enjoyed it so much.

Not a scam
Let me start with is: I don’t write reviews for anything. However, I know what it’s like trying to find something that works to make an extra buck, and this app really does pay you. Not a lot, but it does. I’ve cashed out over $150 over time, and that’s being very inconsistent. Sometimes the surveys are frustrating but I’m just glad I found a simple survey app that actually pays out.

MAJOR SCAM!!!!
I did this surveys over a few months, and when I finally reach the $25 redeemable amount I was unable to. So I did what most people do and filed a claim this is what I received in an email:

Here’s the thing, this is the only account I have with this app and I gave accurate information. I think this maybe one of those data gathering apps. This seems so weird, I wouldn’t do this again. But there are genuine surveys that are true to their claims, this one ain’t one of them.

Only works once. Takes time. Shady af.
I’m giving this app two stars because I did actually get a $25 gift card when I really needed it, but don’t stop reading yet. The customer service is atrocious and they’re all so very sketchy.
First, it took me two or three months, as they only give you a very limited number of surveys.
Second, they locked my account as soon as I tried to redeem my reward— they waited until after I did their surveys and was checking out to lock it. I had to message them on Facebook, and they took a week to reply. Apparently they locked my account because I did surveys on my phone and computer, and they told me to only use one device from now on. They unlocked my account and I checked out.
Third, after I checked out they stopped giving me surveys altogether. It’s been months or even maybe a year and still no surveys have shown up for me. I guess they got what they wanted.
Anyway, use at your own risk but play by their arbitrary rules so they’ll actually pay up and be ready to only use it once.

SCAM!!!
I’ve had this so for a long time. I have money that I’ve earned and I’m NOT able to cash out because my app hasn’t been working for a long time. I’ve tried to get in touch with anybody in reference to this but they do NOT provide any customer service. I managed to find a way to email them with but I get a message telling me it can not be delivered because they won’t accept it. It’s really frustrating! It was great in the beginning but as soon as I tried cashing what I earned app stopped working. I believe it’s illegal to keep my earnings from me after I earned them answering the surveys.

Promising app, but scam like so many survey apps.
To fellow people wanting passive income
I havemade good money on merchandising apps like survey by merchandiser, field agent, easy shift, and mobee. And while I have had my difficult moments with them, they at least pay. This app collects all this valuable “profile” or personal info to start, so they can mine or sell it to other companies. They then pry for more personal info through surveys they deny payment on by saying once you’ve answered the first 80% of questions a that oops sorry this survey wasn’t a good fit for you. I literally made $2 in like ten minutes on 2 surveys and now I have wasted 45 minutes getting denied on 4 straight surveys payment. Yet they get my info and continue to email me hey we have a survey to make money. At least with field agent and my other apps I dont get offered something and not get paid. If your interested in making money and not giving up valuable personal information for FREE I suggest staying away this app and using field agent or mobee or easy shift Observa gig walk or any number of apps that don’t let you waste your time answering there questions to deny you payment to the actual survey.
Sincerely,
Ryan J. Gross

Overall good
Overall a good app, but sometimes the bottom of the survey page gets cut off and you can’t click the next arrow. There needs to be extra room at the bottom. Also, I’ve taken quite a few surveys where you get far in and then booted out and no pay. I assume it’s because they think you’re going too fast and not really paying attention, but I can’t help if I read fast.

It’s not a scam...
I’ve had this for almost 2 years now. Although the payments are meager, it builds up over time and it does require some patience. Not qualifying just means that the companies are looking for a certain type of demographic and you may or may not qualify. I’ve cashed out over $100 dollars now and that’s usually over 2 months if you’re patient enough. There is a browser version of this app if you want to have an easier time taking the surveys. Along with that, if you’re faithfully taking surveys and being patient with it, the algorithm starts giving you surveys that cater to your interests and the money starts increasing. Just recently I did a video game survey that took about 20 min and they awarded me $5.50! So just be patient. 2 things that I want to mention for suggestions to the developers:
1. Allow phone users to change the orientation for certain surveys to allow for better viewing and access.
2. Provide some small rewards for at least attempting the survey (like 10 cents or something to make it feel like you didn’t waste your time if you’re not qualified).

Love it
Well I used to love it. Always enjoyed the survey topics. Never had a payout issue. Surveys are a good length and the reward is sufficient. The past 3 days it is given me the message that there is no internet connection. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I’ve changed my network connection. Restarted my modem and still can’t get in. I’ve left messages through messenger but haven’t heard back yet. They are usually pretty quick to respond. So I’m just waiting. So close to have reached the cash out point too.

Ipoll
Update - Found out this app is apparently known for lack of customer support. But when you email them directly from the app (the email directly to their site) it comes back as undeliverable. It seems this app is good for wasting time and “possibly” making a few bucks.
First and foremost let me begin by stating that you are getting “free” money for you to stare at your phone and answer questions you probably answer multiple times a day anyways.
What’s better than that? Well with everything good there is always at least a little bad/negative.
Pro’s - App is well made. Money. Easy. Free. And as long as you are logging in everyday then you should be rewarded with plenty of surveys to occupy your time.
Con’s - You only qualify for maybe 1/4 the surveys and unlike other survey apps you do not receive any incentive for your time spent on surveys you do not qualify for. Not all surveys are screened very well so when they come to you, you may not qualify even if you didn’t do anything. Some of the surveys are obviously not well made as they are trying to control the outcome or you don’t qualify. Taking them on your mobile device can have visual issues when completing an outsourced survey. And last but not least, you can only earn a certain amount per day (which personally is disappointing).
Whereas the con’s out number the pro’s, the fact that you are getting free money and you don’t even have to get dressed...? I’m sold.

This app hardly works...
I have had this app for awhile now and its a waste of time. Most surveys do not work, they send me email saying I have a survey however when I try to use it it ask me a bunch of questions and never gives me a survey to complete. The App won’t even open anymore. I did a few surveys after I complained and cashed out. Then I thought it was working again but it suddenly stopped and I am back to not being able to open the app even though they sent me daily surveys. I have wasted hours of my time.
I just got more surveys and spent 2 evenings taking them and the balance in my account has not increased. I don’t understand why they aren’t paying me. They have asked all this personal information about me and then they don’t pay the money they promised. I wrote them a few days ago and they never responded but did send surveys, which I took and it didn’t increase my balance at all. I wondering about this app!

Good if you give it time!
This app has helped me so much a lot of times when I need extra cash on the side. It does take time to get good at it though. There will be times where you do surveys and might not get them but most of the time with experience you'll know how to answer them effortlessly and it'll just keep giving you more to answer.

Don’t fall for it!
SCAM SCAM SCAM! This app is not an honest one!! User beware!! I don’t normally write reviews but this is worth the review! They pay people to write positive reviews. You, like I, will spend countless hours answering stupid questions for a few cents per hour. You will finally reach your limit and be able to cash out. You, like I, will get a pop up message saying your account has been flagged and closed and you won’t ever see the money that you’ve earned. It’s a complete waste of time. I emailed their help desk asking what this blasphemy about having my account flagged is and they said they’d review it (false hope) then they emailed me saying they’re sorry but I’ll never be allowed to participate in surveys again or make another account. Yeah like I’d fall for this again and make another account! My thoughts friends, there’s plenty of other survey apps out there that I’ve cashed out several times that are completely legit. Avoid this one at all costs. It’s a SCAM!!!

Easy to get rewards, but what’s the point if they’re not going to pay you?
As the title suggests, I have been for some reason blacklisted after doing all the surveys to the point where my cash was redeemable. I have been answering it truthfully and very rarely make a mistake. Now, I’ve been doing all of this until I reached $25 which took about a week. However, a message interrupts saying you have a “technical error” and proceeds to tell you that you have been blacklisted for fraudulent activity. Why? I don’t know. But this company seems to be very deceiving and misleading, and perhaps using people to gain profit for themselves. Also, if it was going to blacklist me why didn’t it do it before I tried to redeem my earned rewards? Further proves my point on how they are using people to complete surveys and leaving you nothing for you. I had high hopes for this app, only for it to be ruined by the people behind it.

Nice little money maker
I don’t understand why there are so many negative reviews? I’ve had no problems with this app at all. It takes a little while to get to the $25 in order to pay out via PayPal but what do you expect for a survey app? I like this one the most compared to others, it has less glitches, and I get more opportunities for surveys with iPoll. Don’t change a thing!

iPOLL IS TRASH
SCAM!! I earned over $30 in rewards when I was suddenly locked out of my account. I emailed the help desk and I was told my name looked fake. When it’s my legal full name... which I explained. The last response I received from them was stating my account was indefinitely suspended and I could no longer use their services (i.e. collect my rewards). Other than someone thinking my name is fake, I was giving no other reasoning as to why my account appeared “fraudulent”. It’s so beyond ridiculous that it’s now funny.
Upon reading other reviews from unhappy users, it’s evident I am not the only one experiencing the horrible customer service.
DO NOT USE!

Usually pays fairly, but so many bugs!
This survey app usually pays better than other apps and websites. HOWEVER, there are a lot of regular functionality problems/glitches/bugs. Most importantly is that I can’t switch to landscape mode on the app no matter what I do. A lot of surveys won’t let you advance until it’s in landscape mode or it just won’t work if it’s not in it! I’ve tried making sure my orientation lock isn’t on, still not working. I know that it’s just the app doing this because I can switch to landscape in every other app just fine. Secondly, is there are issues with playing video and sound. This ranges from pressing the play button repeatedly and nothing happening to no sound playing no matter what I do (and if you don’t correctly guess what sound was playing, you get kicked out of the survey). If you can’t continue a survey because it stopped working in the middle of it, there’s nothing you can do. Also, a lot of surveys take much longer than what the app says it should take. Another huuuuuge problem is that I can’t contact support form the app. It says that “I’m not set up to send messages,” whatever that means. So, I would have to go onto the website to contact support. Very tedious. It’s a shame, because this app would be SO MUCH BETTER if it didn’t have these big problems.

SCAM APP!
I would give it -5 stars if I could. At first you earn some decent money but then suddenly you stop qualifying for surveys or they say this survey isn’t a good fit for you right after complete the survey.... called customer service (says all lines are busy and to stay on the line but forces you to leave a voicemail) with your email and everything and they will call you back. (Pretty good set up for not getting a call back) also I should mention that you have to call them because they don’t have a customer service email. After about 15 or more phone calls and messages (wish I was exaggerating) they email me and say they don’t know a record of anything and I couldn’t remember the date because they got back to me 2 weeks after the first call. I ask them to just fund me the money I have in there and they ignored me I emailed the same thread asking again and I haven’t heard anything. This was in the end of 2018. I still have 17$ on there but can’t cash out because there is a limit of 25$ but I “don’t qualify “ for surveys that I try. So basically if you want to waste your time and energy thinking you are going to make money. This app is the one for you. Waste all that and you get nothing but time killed.

Do not waste your time!
This is the first time I've ever actually been compelled to write an app store review. If you're thinking of downloading iPoll to make some extra pocket change, run away now! There are better options available. Here's the gist: You will spend hours earning .50 cents here, $1 there, slowly building towards the $50 cash out requirement. At some point your account will be suspended. You will have to email to find out why and will be sent a boiler plate response saying that your account has been flagged for accuracy. Your wages will be forfeited and you will have no further recourse. This is wage theft and I am surprised this company has yet to have been sued or forced to shut down, probably because no one is willing to go to that length over $50. For your own sake, don't download this app or otherwise engage with this company (Survey Sampling Intl). They're making a fortune off the work of the financially desperate. Learn from others mistake and run away now.

Best thing that ever happen to me!
I have been using IPoll since the summer of 2018. I wish I had found it earlier. Doing surveys to get paid honestly is cool. Who don’t want to get paid when their bored or even in the train?! IPoll is the best way to make money if your young and not working or even extra cash for yourself. Sometimes you may not be able to qualify for a survey and that’s alright. Their system will have glitches. But it doesn’t stop you from trying other surveys within the next hour or the next day. It’s a good way to save and be productive.
