anyone downloaded the smart app on their devices?

note3

Hi I got the opportunity to sign up for a smart app. It's a new tracker you download onto all your household devices then as you just generally go about your business it monitors what sort of shopping and things you do. The payout is great (around 175 over 2 yrs) but I feel uncomfortable as to how much it tracks. Whilst I'm not up to anything dodgy I also don't like the 'big brother' feeling and wondered if it was legit or going to be able to track bank info and passwords.

Am I being silly? Anyone else got any feedback on this app?

Does "household devices" include the kettle?

Lol if it's an internet enabled one then I guess so!

I signed up with them last year through swagbucks. My money got messed around, i didn't earn as much as they said i would be entitled to and the phone app kept blocking my internet etc, I had to uninstall in the end.

Yep that's the one thanks. Hmm doesn't sound good from what you said and tbh I think hubby would be understandably cross if I installed it on our laptop and it messed it around.

Don't want to risk the stress so will avoid! Least I earnt an easy 4 quid just filling out the application!

I think this is the one I installed a couple of weeks ago. I have a security programme on my laptop called rapport - which I got from RBS. It blocked every site I tried to open because of the smart thing, kept freezing my internet, so I had to uninstall it. When I tried to email them the email bounced, so if it is the same thing, and I am pretty certain it is, I would avoid it.

Thanks...yep I decided to avoid and reading your post made me relieved i did!!!
