### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-03*

I love the fact that the app helps to monitor your travel journey everyday.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-05-30*

I registered every trip correctly and completed the surveys for each journey starting from home, yet they refused to provide the promised £20 voucher. The app also drained my phone battery heavily during the whole 14-day period. Very disappointing experience after spending time and effort participating properly. I do not recommend this app or survey program.

**Developer response:** We're sorry you didn't receive the voucher, which may be due to unmet qualification criteria. We send reminders and offer troubleshooting during the survey. Your input is valuable, and we appreciate your patience. For further assistance, kindly contact our support team.

### 4/5 — Minor glitches

*2026-05-12*

I installed the app as part of a 2 week-long survey. 

After a week, the app stopped recording activity. I tried resetting but this didn’t work so I contacted support who responded within 24 hours, advising me to uninstall/reinstall. I initially didn’t want to do this in case previously recorded information was erased but they confirmed it wouldn’t be. 

The survey ended & I was concerned the glitch would invalidate my participation but I received my reward within a few days, so I’m happy!

Thank you! 👍🏻😊

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. 

We are pleased our support team was able to help you. It's great to know the fix was successful and that you received your reward. Thank you for sharing your experience and for your participation.

### 1/5 — Heap of junk

*2026-04-15, version 2.25.3*

First journey is A to B. Second journey is C to D. Even a complete fool can see that if B and C are hundreds of miles apart, something is missing. Junk.

### 4/5 — Minimal effort for £20

*2026-04-14, version 2.25.3*

Sceptical signing up but with minimal effort provided I kept the app open at all times in the background and completed the short daily survey, after 2 weeks I have a £20 Amazon voucher - thank you!

### 2/5 — GeoQuest invitation £20 for 2 weeks

*2026-01-21*

I was invited to take part in the GeoQuest survey, the survey stated if I had the app running for 2 weeks I would receive a reward of £20. Well fast forward about 4 weeks, no reward and this app is draining my phone battery. When can I expect payment so I can turn the app off?
Thank you I received the payment after contacting you.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We were sorry to hear you had not received your reward. We hoped the voucher might have been located in your spam or junk mail folder, as they can sometimes end up there. If that was not the case, we would ask you to contact us directly so our team could investigate. We also appreciated you highlighting the battery usage.

### 5/5 — Good App however Drains your battery

*2025-12-13*

Great app and get paid promptly after desired period. However it is slow and does drain your battery. And sometimes it misses journeys or combines separate journeys

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you found the app great. We note your feedback regarding battery drain and occasional issues with journey recording.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-12-12*

Downloaded this to take part in a 2 week survey. Has all the settings right and location setting was enabled. 
Received a message from IPSOS after the 2 weeks to say that location tracking was not picking up my journeys yet I completed al surveys daily plus the final survey. Useless so drained my battery for 2 weeks for nothing

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the location tracking issue. Factors such as GPS signal strength and mobile / network settings can affect the experience. We do offer technical support during the survey, and we hope that our team were able to help you during your participation.

### 2/5 — Not fit for purpose

*2025-11-25*

Using as part of a 3 week IPSOS survey. This app is very buggy. Despite having my phone on, carried with me at all times and in a good signal area, it fails to record trips. To correct this I have tried to add trips manually, however this is infuriating as despite placing the curser in the desired location for a start or end point, it randomly places these elsewhere. A lack of detailed instructions just adds to the lack of thought and support that has gone into this. The value and accuracy of the data collected must be questionable.

**Developer response:** We apologise for the problems you've experienced. The app is designed for passive tracking, and manual trip entry is not a task requirement. We are continuously investigating these issues, which often appear to be isolated and potentially device specific. Your valuable feedback will be passed to the development team for further investigation and improvement.

### 1/5 — Very frustrating

*2025-11-14*

This is one of the buggiest apps I have ever used. It records trips when there are none being made or doesn’t end a trip; cuts out mid-trip; won’t start a trip; sometimes won’t allow me to add trips; tells me to restart phone and app but the problem persists… I am trying to do a survey, but the app is not fit for purpose.

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear about the issues you are having with trip recording. The app is designed to work passively in the background to capture your journeys, so you are not required to manually start or add trips. We understand this manual process can be difficult on some devices. Please contact our support team directly so we can investigate the specific issues you're encountering and work to resolve them.
