Do any of the video ones come up for iPhones, or are they all android? I’ve got 28 showing at the moment and can’t do any of them.

At the moment they are all Android. Some of them even say so, though clearly they haven't altered the wording on them all.

Block the researcher. There is now an option to unblock researchers if you change your mind. It won’t hurt you or them.

Thanks very much silvercar.  I have just blocked the researcher.

Update at 2220 hours.  I have just received a nice message from the researcher saying:  "Sorry for the trouble."  It was good of him/her to reply.

Just android phones it seems. Must be frustrating if you've got the time and will to do them but can't access. I'm hoping some better paid ones make an appearance at some point.

@magic57 I've also been a member for many years, and been asked for verification.

Unfortunately, these days I no longer have either a driving licence or passport.  Wondering whether they would accept anything else.

Did you find out if they accept anything else? I'm in the same boat and trying to decide whether to renew my really old passport or get a provisional driving licence even though I have no intention of learning to drive!

@LilacPotato I emailed their support line, and they are quite strict in their ID requirements, it's either a valid passport or driving licence.

Do you think they would accept a provisional licence?  It might be worthwhile applying for one as it's less hassle.

I had a $20 survey last night meant to take 1 hour.

Had to login with prolific email and password which I was dubious about but chanced it and it was the dullest survey giving in struction to a photo. Then the AI didn't do what is was meant to. Gave up after 10mins as just couldn't get on with it

I joined that one, but then got booted out straight away as it wasn’t working.

Glad it wasn't just me I thought it wasn't working then assumed I was doing something wrong. I didn't get booted but gave up

I joined that one and didn't like the interface or the look of the tasks and returned it straight away.

I've blocked the Android only study researcher, can't see how you unblock though?
