  • Is it the AA shopping centre ones you've booked? They're super-easy with simple little reports as long as you've chosen well -- only choose shops you expect will give good and, more importantly, almost immediate service! For that fee you don't want to be spending more than 15 mins in store. I've done as many as you've picked up before, plus 3 "proper" MS visits, and still been home by 3pm. I used a small notebook, which I don't often do, but there are very few questions on the report so it was easy just to grab a bench and scribble down the info after each one, then on to the next.

    Good luck!
  • Break open the champers - have FINALLY managed to grab a couple on TNS!! :D
  • Hi all.

    Quick question - hope you can help :) I recently signed up with Albatross, but am slightly confused - I applied for an assignment, and it now says that I need to click to pass a certification exam. I click on this, but it says 'access denied'. Am I to wait to hear from them before I go ahead and click to do the exam, or is there an error somewhere?
    many thanks :)

    The app worked for me. Though I have since taken it off the Droid, as it kept popping up and would not go away. The report has also moved to Received and been totalled, so it looks ok at that end.

    Thanks, the app drained the battery before I could even park the car, let along get anywhere near the shop:rotfl:

    I left the house with the Droid fully charged, but I had a circuit of very short jobs before I got to the big supermarket and did manage to note down all I needed for the other jobs, do the app job, snag my BzzAgent cheese and do 2 other little jobs on the way home with a still working phone. The Droid made it home with enough juice to do what it had to do while I did the reports and it recharged. But this was all within walking distance rather than a long car journey.
  • I tried to do the app jobs again today, without any success. It's draining the battery, and then telling me that the survey isn't available. Not a winner.

    A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work
  • I completed one without any problem, although the constant location searching and battery drain are quite annoying.

    I have done two. First one I answered 1 question before it crashed and the second I didn't get a survey. Submitted both and provided feedback. I think if you turn off GPS on your phone until you need to do the shop it will save your battery.
