One poll iPhone app waste of time?

Waste of time? I've had it since it was launched and have received no surveys. Has anyone else actually received a survey? I check it everyday and my profile is 100% up to date.

In fact is one poll itself a waste of time? I rarely receive surveys and when I do they are never more than 25p and that's if the website actually works! I have got up to about £4 since January it will take me five years to reach the £40 payout at this rate!! Should I cut my losses and stop wasting my time with them?

What is everyones thoughts?

    You need to log in several times a day, the surveys are not highly paid but they certainly mount up. I'm almost at the £40 payment level again, it only takes around 3 or 4 months to reach this level.

    The website at present, is annoyingly slow, hoping someone will sort it eventually.

    About the OnePoll app, there were surveys when I initially installed it, but none for ages. Wondering whether to uninstall.

    I log on everyday. The only time I have more than survey is when the website is very slow and its impossible to do any of them!

    Had about 4 in a year. Useless app imo. And yes i checked different times a day and went on the desktop site too.
    The only thing we know for sure, is that we know nothing
  • I log on several times a day and normally have three or more waiting on me. The ones that are low in value under 15p are normally quite short over that they tend to be very long and repetitive. A lot of the surveys you need to qualify for, and ask if you have children or been on holiday, i just lie to qualify and get the 10p ha. I'm at £22 so far and haven't been doing it for that long. The website drives me nuts as it keeps crashing or saying page can't be found. I just keep pressing F5 and smiling. Don't know if i'll get my money but we'll see :)

    You're getting this many on the iPhone app? Lucky you then - I'm in the same boat as the OP - had a couple of good ones when I installed it but nothing at all since!

    No,the app didn't work for me so I gave up and just been using the laptop. I think it just depends on what time of the day. Keep at it, you might get lucky yet
