    I am slightly concerned about reducing the life of my phone significantly by running these apps everyday. I have an iPhone, so the battery is not replaceable. These apps seem to take many hours each. Any advice from someone who knows?

    I've stopped doing it on my phone as then you can't do anything on your phone I have it on silent so don't hear any calls or texts. I now do them on my iPad after taking forever to find them on there

    Just looking at the indymusic.tv, looks like the shortest track is 2.42mins so if you let it run in full it takes about 40mins for 2 sb's.
    At least it will run itself with no Captcha's ( thinking of Radio Loyalty)

    have a look here and here (both are reddit links) although some may have been rotated out of use so check the later comments as well.

    Just wondering if anyone can help, I keep trying to sign up for tasks and as I've never done these before, it says a verification email is being sent to my account. I must have pressed this at least half a dozen times and I never get the email. Have checked my spam/junk folders and still nothing. Anyone else ever had this problem? My email account is with Hotmail if that helps at all.

    Thanks :)

    are you sure thats its crowdflower that your signing up for as they are the task provider and SB are just the middleman. All i can recommend is recheck your email address its been a year when i registered so not sure how long it takes for the email to be sent.

    @wizzbang and juliesg

    i would assume that it will have some affect on your phone but these things are supposed to be on constantly running the same video all day is probably not something that is advised. I use an old android phone and leave it running.

    if your using your main phone or tablet than i suppose you have to decide if its worth it for you.

    i've found the music app the most time consuming all the others have videos that are 30 secs.

    Hi, I click on tasks, and the details of what's available come up. I click on one that's of interest, and it asks for Crowdflower email/login details, and it says 'the email address for this account has not been verified. Click to have the email resent' so I click on it, but I don't receive anything? Maybe I'll contact Swagbucks support and see what they say, thanks

    I can't find them on my iPad-have they got a different name on there?

    When searching on the ipad you have to select iphone apps and they then come up.
