Waiting

After giving my information and verifying. I’ve received no surveys which leads me to believe this is just a way to gather and sell on my details.

Poor support

I have contacted them several times in the last couple of weeks as the app has stopped working. I thought it was a technical fault but now I’m wondering if they just don’t want or like my comments.
There lack of response, proves they don’t really need the comments of a normal person I believe.

For real

I use this app all the time it pays. It does take time as surveys are not everyday. Some opportunities are missed is you don’t have a hard computer or lap top. I would like to see a refer a friend link. But cannot seem to find one. Overall this is a great fun app.

Not very reliable

Logged me out during my surveys without a valid reason, tried to log back in and it hadn’t allowed me on multiple occasions. Lost all my points have to start again.

Ridiculously Invasive

Why would I send my ID for a gift card when there are hundreds of other apps that don’t do such ridiculous things! The government is getting really sloppy with the grifting and surveying!

Asked for a picture of my ID

I have used this app for quite a while and actually cashed out several times. Recently, it is asking for a picture of my ID to verify my identity. I will not comply and do think it is risky to do so. I guess if they don’t send me anymore surveys, I will end up deleting the app. Very disappointed!

Don’t send your ID to third party companies

Please sketchy they’re pushing so hard for you to submit your ID to them. Most likely to sell your info and they know all of your political opinions, so be careful.

Great way to earn but can fix few things

I like the idea of giving my opinion on things. Is a good way to earn points to get gift cards.

My only complaint is to be able to earn even more, you can connect apps or accounts such as Amazon, Hulu, etc but you have to have a desktop computer. I haven’t had a computer in years because my phone does everything. Please make it so mobile can be used to link. Thanks!!!

Scamming

Now yougov wants to get your information from you and sends you a request to a third party identifying agency. After reading the policy for them . They want more information than necessary. Including your credit information. Don’t give in to this scam . It’s a way to sell your information and scam you as well . Tell you gov NO

I’m not sending you my id just to take surveys deleting

You are not getting my ID

Very sneaky lame app, they will make you do endless useless surveys just as you’re about to cash out they force you to give your ID to continue. Screw everything about this app, you will not be getting my ID.

Wow

Its been three months and no surveys

YouGov is good when it doesn’t crash/ logs you out of it

YouGov works when the app doesn’t crash/logs you out of it. Currently can’t login in because of the login code and already checked my email trash/spam folders and still no login code. Contacted YouGov support multiple times still haven’t received one email from them at all.

An actual legit survey app

Yougov is a reputable pollster whose polls get referenced a lot in the news, so this isn’t the typical sketchy survey app that promises you’ll get rich by using it. Some of the surveys are obviously from advertising agencies and are pretty tedious and boring. There are also surveys on current events which I find a lot more interesting. There’s also a fun daily poll that asks a few light hearted opinion questions, and you even get to see other people’s opinions.

Obviously by filling out these surveys your data is being collected, but if you don’t mind because every big tech company has it already, this is a good app. You can contribute your opinions on things and get a small reward in the process. It will take a while though. I’ve redeemed points for cash in the last, and it actually showed up in my bank account, so it’s all legit.

I am from Zap surveys

I like being able to play You Gov surveys too. I get a lot of extra surveys . Will continue to play them too. Great surveys.

Surveys don’t open

I’ve had no issues for years doing surveys, however for the last few months the links in emails as well as the app no longer load up. Filled in a few forms on their app and no feedback nor resolution.

It's worth doing

Many of these surveys for rewards are not worth your time but this one is. First these guys actually have a very easy simple layout, a lot of their topic are stuff of importance like politics, personal values, and topics that effect society. There are ones on brands, entertainment etc. too but most don't feel superficial . They also don't have you spend time on a survey that you end up not being suited for if you start it you get rewarded something even if your rejected you still get a smaller reward that's how it should be. I do wish I got more surveys from them but that's partly because they are so popular.

Victorian chimney sweeps earn more

So to get rewarded from this app you need to earn 5000 points, and that will get you a £50 voucher. Each survey that gives you 50 points takes at least 15 minutes. That’s 25 hours of surveys to earn £50. You’re making £2 per hour!!!

Stuck on points screen

When I click to go on survey, it shows the points wheel and then nothing, just keeps happening over and over.

I have deleted and reinstalled but same same
