    I did one for 8.70 the other day which was 520 sentences into a Chinese app. It was a ballache, but more than I'd have earned for watching celebrity Masterchef
    That's the one I'm doing! Did it glitch a lot? A lot of them won't playback, so I keep re-doing them, and sometimes it cuts off the end. Oh well, I've nothing better to do with my time.. just very frustrating!

    I'm trying to do it but having lots of issues. I've been messaging the researcher about all the glitches I'm getting but they said no one else is having trouble. I'm not convinced :think:

    I couldn't get a single one to play back for me. Yes I kept getting it freeze on me and at one point I pressed the back button by accident and thought I'd gone back to the start but it went back to where I'd left off. It was approved within an hour too

    Ok, I think you've just talked me out of it.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    I've had 2 studies today, both of which were absolute bollix: The first because it gave nothing like enough time and was just not worth the effort for the money and the second because it was just a load of pointless, random video clips with no study attached. Bleeeuuuuurrrrgh! Both full now but I wish I had been warned. HTH.

    Further to my last and having messaged the researcher, I have actually been paid for that brain strain study:

    Please can someone who is doing the never ending Clothing Study remind me where we are up to? I have done part 6 and do not think I have missed part 7 but am beginning to wonder. Cheers.

    Who was it mentioned that Distill page monitor thingy; was it you, Chrisv? Whoever it was, I want to say thank you. It works and seems to be working better and better as I am alerted to fewer and fewer studies I cannot do, it seems, as time goes on. Megacheers!
