User reviews

TERRIBLE APP

The app is really bad, they deny every single one and when you try to appeal the appeal process is non existent . They never respond to emails either. Imagine working all day and 5 days later it’s gets denied with no appeal process.

Earnings With Gig Work

Overall if the instructions are read and followed thoroughly your experience will go well and the payout is processed usually within 72 hours. Follow the instructions to each offer, in the most professional manner possible. Take clear pictures and answer all questions asked during the audit. Submit once it’s done. Customer support usually responds and resolves issues promptly. The only thing that could be better is the amount offered for each opportunity and also the app interface could be better. From a marketing standpoint, this app is perfect for growing businesses promoting a new product. This app is a great way to ensure the product is in stock and on display. Getting maximum exposure, is a great way to increase sales. Great idea all around. Maybe create more ideas for marketing a

NO!

I promise this is a huge waste of time it’s horrible dreadful awful never again!!!!!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! SCAM and these good reviews are probably paid for

This is the most ridiculous waste of time. Their standards are either unrealistic or they reject your perfectly good submission because they already have your photos and feedback- why would they even bother paying you now.

Needs improvement

High rejection rate compared to other apps. You can make some money if the app works, or if they don’t decide to change their instructions. Large files won’t upload to their server, regardless of your internet connection, and regardless of how long you wait and keep the app open. (5G or WiFi)

Instructions say 1/2 to 1 product of overlap, then you get denied for not enough overlap and say they require 1-2 products of overlap. So you go back for another 45 minutes of taking photos with new instructions and they say it’s too much overlap.
