### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-07-05*

Useless … did everything that User interviews told me to do . Sent messages to User Interviews and to researcher still after completing the task 3 days ago no answer from either . User Interview asked about their customer service . 
Answered in a reasonable time but no resolution or response again and again. . I am done with this and I am not going to get paid for my time . Don’t waste your time!

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-05-28*

App consistently gets stuck with no way to back out or restart

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-04-23*

App is broken, instructions are hard if not impossible to follow - As such they told I didn’t follow all the steps for compensation when it was impossible to do do

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-01-24*

The app is not working. I have used it for 3 different studies by now, and every time the app freezes at a certain time, the instructions are not clear, or worse, even when they are, you can't execute the action they ask you to do because the button fails or because the site that it is supposed to be showing you is more like a static image than a real thing you can interact with. It is very frustrating because you try to complete it even then, but in the end, they would send you a message telling you that you didn’t follow the study rules or maybe might not send you a single message and just get away with your session without rewarding your participation. 
This isn't worth it.

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time

*2025-04-30*

Just say no to any studies that involve this app.  It doesn't upload.  (or if it does, they don't acknowledge it and you don't get paid.  Tried twice.  Over an hour of time that could have beeb spent doing literally ANYTHING ELSE.

### 1/5 — PlaybookUX

*2025-02-06*

I have tried repeatedly to complete this study. I have followed the directions as given.  I get as far as a screen that say playbookUX and turn on the microphone.  There is a timer icon to g up   After 5 kin I hit back arrow  I checked and I have downloaded the app  I’m generally good w this kind of stuff but you got me beat   Sorry.  I feel directions were not clear !

### 1/5 — Fake app *Dont DL*

*2024-11-16*

! Do not download this app!This is a fake app that Just uses to app get your information and then head to upload but it never allow uploads to complete

### 1/5 — Flat out doesn’t work

*2024-09-25*

Can’t even test my microphone - tried many times. I give up.

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD

*2024-09-11*

They will make you download it saying you will receive $75 card after completion, but the app won’t let you upload anything. If you try to reach out to them about it, they will ignore you until the end date and then say that the study is over.

### 1/5 — A waste of time

*2024-01-19*

I finished an invited user test. But the tool has so many bugs and didn’t record my response. So I didn’t get paid. A waste of time.
