Five Surveys - Earn Money Fast 4+

It’s not terrible, .. however.

I’m gonna give this 5 stars just to be nice. It’s not terrible. 5 dollars to complete 5 surveys is a selling point for anyone. However bear in mind, the surveys here I find are incredibly finicky. They are hyper selective. Whether you’re employed/unemployed, which ever the case may be of your situational circumstances, it only takes a few answers that they aren’t looking for or hoping you’ll select or select the wrong answer to a trick question, ..aaaannd they won’t wanna talk to you, you’ll be screened out or disqualified. Only speaking for myself, I’ve been fortunate enough to have completed as many surveys as I have but I have been disqualified more times than I have completed surveys. So just a cautionary tale.

If I was to name one improvement to the developers, it would be to have the surveyors be a little more forgiving to the contractors or members for selecting answers that may or may not be in the target qualifications. In other words, allow the members more chances to complete the surveys. More passes means more surveys completed and less screen outs. I mean, that’s how I’d develop it.

Thanks for the love, Diamondfan72! We're thrilled to hear you're finding value in our app, especially with the survey rewards. Your suggestion for more forgiving survey qualifications is invaluable, and we are constantly looking to improve our survey inventory to prevent screen-outs from happening very often. Remember, the more surveys you take, the easier it is to match you with better surveys! Thank you for choosing our app!

Needs work

First I’ll start by admitting that I love the layout, design and how extremely user friendly this app is….. however in my opinion as an expert survey taker with 10+ years of experience I believe there are too many steps allow me to elaborate…. As soon as you locate a survey you want to take you first click on it this is where the app will ask you a short series of questions to see if you qualify to take the survey this has been an average of 2.5 additional minutes for myself. If the app determines you qualify you will move on to the actual survey. Sometimes you will provide an answer that flags the system and the system will automatically screen you out of the survey which is another time consuming issue with no compensation for.
A fantastic resolution to this issue would be a more in depth profile assessment upon signing up, a more in depth series of qualification questions per survey in order to better ensure a qualified participant doesn’t get screened out in the middle of a survey. This could also help reduce anxiety, frustration and anger which are the root causes people eventually get fed up and delete their accounts or just stop taking surveys all together. As you know when people stop taking the surveys the data stops and when data stops revenue stops…. Anyway that’s enough opinion therapy from me thank you for your time.

Only works well at first

At first, there will be plenty of survey opportunities (the ones that are rated and within a reasonable time frame to take) but this does not stay consistent. And seems to go away pretty much completely once you get close to cashing out (I noticed this the last two times I cashed out / cashed out a total of three times before calling it quits) then, the worst part is you can spend 10-15 mins or MORE on a survey (or multiple surveys) and be screened out at random and without any real explanation (seems as if they get the answers and then are avoiding having to pay) and you DO NOT get compensated for that time. Then, not all surveys are actually $1, some are “half surveys” where you just get a half dollar for completing them. This additional feature would not bother me if we were atleast compensated for our time when being screened out of a survey or even just disqualified at first for whatever reason. Now that I have finally been able to cash out, I will not return to the platform unless the issue of not being compensated for ALL efforts is resolved. A referral link would be nice, but there is not one. Again, this wouldn’t bother me either if I was being compensated for all efforts. Please consider improving the app and touching base thru email to let us all know the app has improved. Otherwise, I will be just using other survey sites instead. Thank you.
