    Its not a download - it adds a VPN profile and an email account to your iPhone and routes all your internet traffic through it so they can see what you are browsing etc.

    As its just a VPN profile its very easy to turn on and off as you see fit so not dangerous in the slightest.

    One nice thing about iOS is the ecosystem is so locked down that almost nothing dangerous can be installed on a non jail broken phone.

    So perfectly safe and a very easy 500 points

    Thankyou dreamy, I appreciate your help on this. I did some research on the actual survey company last night and it would appear that it is a legit company and many people have signed up with them and they are deemed to be safe. As much as any if these sites are I guess.

    I didn't know what a VPN was and what information they could obtain from my phone hence the reason I asked in the first place as I didn't want to just accept willy nilly so I appreciate your help.

    Note to anyone stashing those bucks, cash out at the lowest possible amount incase they go bust! It's happened to the best of these sites- I think they all have a short lifespan really.

    Just as I had decided to save my bucks to go for the paypal reward lol, now I'm wondering what is for the best.

    Any long term swagbuckers seen this kind of draught before.....should we be worried?

    Stupid, stupid daily survey from toluna on cars that I got 20 minutes into, they now know the ins and outs of both cars in our household. Got to the make of tyres and got disqualififed. I don't usually moan about it, because I understand that it sometimes happens, but after ALL the HUGE amounts of information I put it, it really is stupid. I've now been plowing through for over an hour trying to get a daily. NOT IMPRESSED.

    Rant over

    That's odd, they were gone earlier, but I just had a look and they're back. :)
    Maybe there's a 24 hour limit or something? I think I started earlier today.

    Yes, there have been down times before. When Encrave disappeared before, they didn't even have the radio and there were no surveys whatsoever.

    There will always be up times and down times but I don't think we are particularly seeing a down time right now.

    Apparently, the radio is being tweaked and hasn't gone completely.
    Encrave always goes up and down.

    They need to get the advertisers and to get those, they need to show an active membership. The only way they can do that is by testing with one or two videos and getting people to watch them. It's not a sign of desperation, it's just an advertisers way of testing the site for viability. If people don't watch them, then we won't get full encrave back.

    SBTV is still sure and steady

    We have a new App

    We have brand new quick homepage surveys.

    Other surveys are plentiful. I've never seen so many.

    Offers are same as they have always been. Just that the longer you use the site it might seem there are less because we end up doing a chunk of them.

    The only real downer that has changed for the worse is the orange videos that have gone from 1SB each to 1SB for 2 or 3 videos. But again, that about advertising and Swagbucks will try to eke it out to keep people busy and on the site.

    I don't believe there is anything to worry about just yet. My 000,s are still in my account, put it that way :)

    Submit a ticket to Swagbucks support as soon as possible.
    They will reply to you later this evening and might very well issue you the full amount.

    You don't need the survey number or anything. Just fill out the form as best as you can remember and let them know what happened.

    Even if you only get 10 courtesy bucks, it's better than nothing :)

    For information. Just completed a DS on lamb when I got the following page at the end.

    Your answers have been received and this survey is now completed.
    We appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to share your thoughts and opinions with us. Your input today will directly impact future products and services that everyone will enjoy.

    Thanks again!

    However I was not returned to the normal swagbucks screen and therefore the 70sb has not been awarded.:( Ticket raised.

    They've removed comedy from the sbtv app.

    .

    we are not allowed to use the svtv app in the UK, you risks your account, unless you mean normal svtv via the site or tool bar,
