Contact Field Agent Support

These guys will find any reason to reject your submission and not pay you, probably while still using the data you sent them. Unlike other market research apps, this app only gives you the opportunity to submit one picture for each question so if the tiniest bit of a sign is cut-off because the aisles are too small to get a proper angle, well, guess what? Submission denied, time wasted.

Their job search function is also severely lacking. Rather actually searching by keyword, you have to browse through sloppily organized jobs.

Pay is okay for each job, but considering how often they deny submissions for the slightest perceived infraction and because you don’t get paid for ANY of your work if one photo has a tiny bit of signage cut-off (never mind the other photos for the other questions and the other answer work you did), it brings the pay scale down significantly to the “not worth it” category.

Also, it takes forever to get paid. Way too long.

I was really hoping this would be a good app to add to my money-making app lineup, but I’ve been severely disappointed. In my other market research apps, I’ve never had a single denied submission, but in my week of having this one, there have been two for incredibly minor things. Plus, if they just gave you the chance of uploading more than one photo like other apps, there probably wouldn’t have been a single denial (though I’m guessing these guys would find a way).

First let me say the app works very well. Also with some company’s I would just rate how the app works. With this company I believe the review should be as much about how the app works and how well the crowd sourced jobs are. I have used this off and on for 5 plus years. They are good about paying out jobs and getting the money transferred to your account. Based on all of the above it probably should be a 4 star app. Now why I gave it 2 stars. The main reason for using this app is to earn money and the app has changed in 2017, just like a lot of work. Field Agent continues to increase the time and effort to complete a job while reducing the payouts for the jobs. I believe they should have a simple payout formula. The $5 covers a job with 1 picture and 5 questions. After that the job should pay $5 per picture and $5 per 5 questions. Yes it would increase the cost of the jobs. It also would be less than what it would cost to have a full time employee do the jobs and it would help keep companies from requesting unnecessary task as part of the jobs. Just wanted to share my frustrated thoughts. For the short term I will keep the app on my phone but very close to just giving it up.

This app is pretty incredible. I started using it about 2 years ago and became the biggest fan. I did jobs all the time. One month I even made a whopping $400! It was my favorite part time gig, and if I had the chance to work for field agent full time testing products and writing reviews I would. I love trying new items and giving my very honest feedback. This app truly brought me genuine joy amidst a very hard time in our world. I looked forward to opening it every day, wondering what new jobs I could do and how I could help my family with even just a tiny bit more income.

But sadly, for many, many months now, there are far fewer jobs available to me. There are some scavenger hunt jobs, some eye spy jobs, and occasional audits. But I don’t think I’ve seen any opportunities to try and review products for several months now.

I don’t mean to complain, as I know it’s such a wonderful gift and privilege to get to do these jobs at all. I’m not owed these jobs, nor entitled to them. I just miss them. They were so fun.

There are still many great ways to make some extra cash doing the scavenger, eye spy and audit jobs. But I think the review jobs were my favorite, preferred jobs, and I’m just missing them. I hope I get the opportunity to do them again some time in the future!
