I just completed a daily survey that was quite easy on cough medicines, they seem to credit me 80sb now instead if the 60sb it says - not that im complaining though

It's been like that since they changed the site a while ago - says 60 sb but credits more, the same as before. Maybe the 60 sb is for different geographical region.

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but I've just gone to download SwagbucksTV on Android and it says they need access to:
storage - modify or delete the contents of your SD card
phone calls - read phone status and identity
network communication - connect and disconnect from WIFI, full network access

It doesn't bother me as this is not my main phone, but I might have second thoughts if I was running it on my main phone.

Aesop

A lot of apps say that if you read before downloading.

Is anybody else having trouble with the apps? On SBTV it plays an ad after every clip and chucks me out of to the main menu after each cycle to award SB. If this is across the board, then they may have wised up to the use of apps...

SBTV mobile working as normal for me.

Are you using iOS and have mobileXpressions installed ???
If so disable the mobileXpressions VPN while you run SB apps else you may be going through a USA mobileXpressions VPN connection, thus seeing the adverts the USA users have.

Also if others using the same VPN IP connection have used the app that day you will find it says you have reached your limit for the day before the normal limit.

Any Swagbukcs app and extension is a form of spyware. Swagbucks itself and all the surveys sites are spyware. This is why you get paid. You are trading personal data for money.

yep, else how is it going to store/cache/change adverts etc.?

phone calls - read phone status and identity

so can stop when you get a phone call and also knows what country/USA state you are from etc. and knows what adverts to show?

network communication - connect and disconnect from WIFI, full network access

so it can connect to SB via wifi rather than use your 4g data etc?

all look normal for many apps that connect to the interweb.

Anyone else having big red warning messages coming up on SBTV (Not mobile). It has happened twice this morning and made me a bit wary of using it - and I need the SB !

Do you mean the 3 popup boxes from srv1.mediads.info? After 3 popups it directs you to another phishing website and your browser will usually put on a big red page warning you?

I have been getting them all weekend on Chrome and thought it was something on my PC but I have run all the malware stuff and I think it's from SBTV itself.
