    Did anyone do the £9 survey where you had to download the app register and it was for 9 weeks, I couldn't register on the app so had to return it
    yes, I've just completed that one.  Researcher messaged the access code, and I created a password to log in to the app.
  • I tried but had to Return it as I couldn't get access 

    The Researcher informed me that a desktop should have been used before reaching download to commence.

    I could only see that it was for Tablet or Mobile and this is why I was unable to reach download.

    I did it by using my desktop to register and then installing the app. The survey itself gave me brain ache, but £9 a week for nine weeks isn't to be sniffed at.

    Just had another survey where I’ve messaged the researcher to say if they actually showed products not just targeted towards men,  they may find that their survey responses are more accurate across the general population.

    The last one like that, I commented that they were asking opinions of a website for managers and every single manager shown was male. Still happening even in this day and age.

    Has anyone else had this poorly paying study hanging around their screen like the smell from the corpse of a small rodent your cat left under the mat?

    I started it because it was showing £6 ph at that point, realised it was going to take longer than the minute they said, and also that I was just not interested, so I returned it.

    I saw the amount they were offering and binned it.
