ncrave not working despite showing some available.

Apps are progressing nicely today after the ad debacal

ncrave, I refreshed the page came back to them and they worked again., sometimes have to re-open them a few times before they start.

Except the Chic trends one which has remained blank all morning. No loss.

I used to bank on getting a total of 60 sb by midday from these.


For the last few weeks I`m lucky to get 20 approx. by 6/0 pm .


Is it just me or do these really suck now ? - anybody having similar experience of this? ???

Like you I used to get through all the apps by lunchtime, but it is so painfully slow these days. I started at 8am and have been playing them constantly since and have reached 48sb so far, so not as bad as it's been for you, but still annoyingly slow!

On days when I have other things to do and am not able to run the apps constantly it can take up to 10pm to earn 50 to 60sb, and I'm running the shortest videos I can find. Does make you wonder if it's worth bothering with them. :mad:

I've had to stop using apps recently and resorted to surveys (I've been hitting the first diary goal for ages with just apps twice a day)
The 3 or 4 long ads between each video meant I was earning between 2 and 4 SB per hour :mad:

Same here. Had no luck on iPhone, only the SBtv one works.

I tried buying a cheap Android phone (Vodafone Mini 7 - don't buy it, utterly woeful!) but the apps are just as bad with the endless ads. Hours on end to do one round of Lifestyle.

Mines made me something like £180 since May. If i'd bought a more expensive phone it would barely be paid for.

I'm suffering the same woes as many of you re the apps, averaging 4SBs an hour! My main concern, however, is not so much that but the fact that (like at least on person noted) my phone is overheating! Also having to run these almost 16 hours a day (and still not coming close to the 70SB I used to earn by early afternoon), it can't be doing much good to my battery. Don't think I'm prepared to ruin my phone for the sake of 30 or 40 pence a day!

I don't object to adverts but I do object very much to one (or 2 or sometimes 3) per video, to those that need to be closed to continue and to those that simple freeze.

They really need to get this sorted out or I'm sure people will leave in droves.

Well, based on it's performance over the last few days where its made me about 6 (six) sb it will take about thousand years to pay for itself!

Even after solving the sleep issue it doesn't run anything properly, every time I check it, it's frozen and needs restarting or the apps closing.

Yep. It doesn't cope well with these stupid ads, but they've been a relatively small part of the last 7 months. Who can tell if this will continue. Some off them run through, some stall and crash. They probably require a better specced phone, but to buy a better phone just because it'll run certain ads on SB would not be wise. The ads change and the apps change, the payback period would be too long. We don't know what tomorrow will be, let alone 6 months time.

There's an ncrave I haven't seen before that is 30 pages for 1SB. I think that is really taking the !!!! given that the regular ones are 10 for 2SB and 20 for 4SB, and up until recently I'm sure they were 6 and 12. Keep skimming SB, keep skimming.

Sums them up at the moment - seemingly making it harder and harder to earn. You wonder if they are deliberately trying to shed UK users. Looks like it to me. It is starting to get less fun day by day.
