### 1/5 — Not worth the pay

*2026-08-18, version 4.65.6*

Time spent versus payout is extremely low compared to other apps with the same jobs. You can have thirty tasks and if they think you took one photo wrong the entire job is not paid out. Instructions are repetitive and time consuming and the layout of them is an ADHD’ers nightmare. Pretty sure support is AI - one job continued to be refused for a photo that I had taken and the feedback is like a broken record. I still don’t understand why the job was denied payment. They use example photos of what is missing in some cases but the photos I received were clearly from a different location. Not every national store Is set up the same so the refusals and their “evidence” are invalid. Furthermore stores frequently change their layouts - again making their “evidence” invalid. Absolute rip off.

### 2/5 — Confusing

*2026-08-15, version 4.65.6*

They have a bad problem with communication about these assignments. Have been doing the same assignments for two weeks and because this app is so confusing I wasn’t able to confirm that I was getting to the stores but I talked to someone an told them I would but because I didn’t take on store outside of my duty they canceled all of them smh.

### 1/5 — Survey shipping offers incomplete

*2026-08-13, version 4.65.6*

Please make it easier for people to plan things by telling us when the job starts!!! (Or are we trying to trick people into taking the job?)

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-08-09, version 4.65.6*

After completing a few simple takes at a local store I noticed several better paying opportunities at multiple locations needless to say I contacted support an agreed to complete all projects between my home an almost 3 hours away totaling more than 40 stores after the second day an almost done my app started to glitch needless to say I spent more than 15 hours of my time to complete these projects an countless miles an I was not paid not even a penny do yourself a favor and Do another download this app

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-08-08, version 4.65.6*

Been working with this company for 2yrs now and I must say it has its ups and downs. If you’re looking to make good money, you must be willing and able to invest the time and resources (gas, car, printing, time) and stick with it to prove yourself reliable and capable. There is a learning curve and so jibs don’t get done as quickly as estimated or quoted in beginning and pay starts low as well. No clear cut way of knowing when it will improve, just have to be diligent and keep at it, assuming you are trying to live off earnings and expect to work long 10-12 hr days including the travel time

### 1/5 — Rally Poor Support

*2026-08-07, version 4.65.6*

If it wasn’t for the fact that the app requires at minimum one star to post review rI wouldn’t even give them the one. My fiance and I have been trying to get ahold of someone in support to call or message 1 of us. That’s a joke. If they sent a message it was just to tell us that one or the other needed to contact them. Bigger joke. Now down to the wire of having a problem with the OPENFORCE account without support even once taking the time to explain exactly what needs to be done or how to do it, we are informed that the project to start won’t be able to be started if this problem isn’t fixed. But again. No help to complete the account. And still after an entire week, there hasn’t been a phone call.

### 1/5 — Data miner. Nope.  Deleted.

*2026-08-06, version 4.65.6*

Really tired of data mining bait-and-switch scams.

Can’t complete profile without agreeing to push notifications and keep getting the message to complete a question, and when I try, get the message “improvements coming soon” and can’t go any further.

Downloading the app automatically authorizes the developer access to our data.

Not interested in giving that away without access to jobs (reason for downloading) or other form of compensation.

### 1/5 — Support

*2026-07-30, version 4.65.6*

How do I talk to a real person? Phone number provided is all ads, and chat with Steve does not work. I have 18 yrs merchandising experience! I gave some questions!!

### 5/5 — Great side gig with reliable payouts

*2026-07-29, version 4.65.6*

I’ve been using Survey Merchandiser for a while now, and it is a fantastic way to make extra money. The local store tasks, like taking product photos and placing promos are straightforward and easy to follow. Best of all, payments are highly reliable and consistently process on time. Whenever I have a quick question about an assignment, the in-app customer support team responds fast and helps me resolve it. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a flexible side hustle!

### 1/5 — Unhappy

*2026-07-29, version 4.65.6*

This. Company  does to much  it takes for ever to get paid it too much with extra stuff
