    Just a note to anyone thinking of using this new assist like the normal assist it picks up surveys which are full and for the others it seems to reserve a space and then return it straight away may be because its the trial version as I have had a few messages asking me to buy the basic package.
    Hmm, I have had no issues with it.

    What shall I spend these untold riches on?

    There is always this. Although the delivery charges are a little eye-watering.

    I think it does this if the study has filled up in between the notifier detecting it and the page opening - which happens quite frequently, as a lot of researchers seem to be putting up studies with only one place available recently!

    The study How UK consumers think about popular foods still had 300 places left when the asist returned it automatically it reservers the space for me but when I click on start I get a message saying this action is unavailable and then when I go to submissions the notifier had returned the study I preume it was the notifier as it wasn't me

    Maybe a glitch in the software or my trial period had ended unsure what the problem is

    Two surveys doesn't seem sufficient to adequately trial it, when there's a good chance those two surveys will be full already or automatically returned (I think it's probably Prolific doing this, for whatever reason, rather than the addon).

    I have been trialing this for a week had 2 which it reserved a spot and I managed to complete a few which were full already 1 which timed out was doing other things and forgot it was running and the 2 which seem to have been returned automatically did wonder if it may have been a prolific issue but as it seems to still be working for others that looks unlikely.
    It did say in the details for the trial Max 2 Studies which is fine just seems a bit mean to still work but be returning the studies if it is indeed the addon but as no one else is experiancing this it seems this may not be the issue either.

    Plant Naming Communication Game (4 players) - earn up to £6 for up to 40 minutes

    Hosted by sms.ed.ac.uk
    £1.5037 minutes £2.43/hr 0 places remaining

    This was unusual, you had to learn plant names and remember which plant was which and then speak them through your mic.
    A bit tedious but I found it fun and got paid the full £6.
    My memory is terrible, so I didn't get many correct.

    I did this one earlier. After the first 20 rounds or so, no one put a foot wrong. Then again, I’m not convinced the other players were real or playing live. As we all know, they usually aren’t.
