    Ive only made 84 SB so far on apps today, despite running them all day on 4 phones.

    How do you work that? You're only allowed to complete one activity at a time.

    I was have problems a few weeks ago so cleared off my history cookies and updated flash it seems to be working ok

    I can get them to work on Chrome. They run on Safari, but just hang on the score screen at the end, so you never get rewarded.

    Swagbucks say you should "actively engage with activities", but Im sure we can all multi task.:)

    some stop working if you run 2 windows, tabs or browsers logged in at the same time. They know....

    Of course they know. Enrage Me has a 3 devices rule. Perk used to have a 4 devices rule. Perk changed it, they now leave it vague and say they'll let you know if you are using too many phones. Swagbucks also leaves it vague- perhaps because restricting our use of Swagbucks restricts their income from advertising.

    But advertisers arent stupid, they know households have multiple phones and computers. They also know many people dont pay any attention to the tv adverts they spend billions on.

    It's basic common sense, you can't be actively engaging with 4 different videos at once. Same as you can't be playing a game and get a search win at the same time. You also can't move the watch videos on too fast, or they get suss.

    I'm not prepared to risk my account, especially given the sheer volume of people that have just had theirs removed. The only thing I'd ever do is have 1 app running, whilst occasionally using the site for a survey or to play a game/ search.

    Also, I'm simply not rich enough to own 4 smart phones!

    The watch videos give a warning about moving on too fast when the JavaScript has crashed. It thinks youve moved on without seeing the advert so it warns you you may need to watch again. They don't care if you move fast, as long as you see the advert, why would they.

    Anyone rich enough to own an eye phone, is rich enough to own many android phones which you can buy for under £20.

    Ive been multi tasking on Swagbucks for about 5 years and theyve made far more money FROM adverts because of it.
  • 4 phones running at the same time lol... does swagbucks earn you enough to keep them charged!
