Title. They said if I followed their instructions I’d get a gift card. They then ghosted me after submitting. Be wary.

After apply to 100s of applications, EVERY SINGLE TIME “sorry, this mission is not a good fit” Please save your time & effort and don’t register with this one.

Such a great way to make money!!!! I’m a student and have some extra time over the summers/winter breaks, so I always spend time applying for missions and I’ve made $700 so far. The more thought and effort you put into the applications is the more likely you are to be accepted; it’s not necessarily “easy” money because you have to take the time to apply and complete what they ask, but it’s usually not too difficult and I’m very happy with it. You get paid via PayPal within a week-ish after the mission is over. DEFINITELY recommend downloading to anyone who wants to help with market research and has some extra time!

Constant pop ups asking to paste the text from my Mac. Can’t even type. Blocks typing. I’m not even trying to paste stuff. I’m just trying to type. Fix this Profile boosters y’all had me fill them all out and I still get applications that don’t apply to me. Either use the information and give me only relevant applications, or don’t asked me to fill them out if you’re not going to use the information. I waste a lot of time filling out applications that don’t apply to me when you have the data to know that. For example, in my profile boosters I say I only have an Apple Watch, yet I just did an application where when I selected I own an Apple Watch it said I was not a good fit because I didn’t have a different smartwatch. Well… you already knew I only had an Apple Watch. I told you that. So why waste my time showing me an application that requires me to have a non-Apple-Watch smartwatch… stop wasting our time. USE the profile boosters or don’t waste our time with them. Just constantly asks for permission to copy paste. Every single letter I type. The app is unusable. Used to take me back to the homepage when I was not a good fit, give me that option back please.

I have spent so much time applying for studies and just keep getting disqualified. It’s frustrating because some of the questioneers are so lengthy that it feels like such a waist of time just to get denied in the end. It low key feels like the researchers are getting half their studies done for free with the insanely long “pre questions” and it’s starting to feel a little scammy.

Listen guys let me tell you straight up: The amount of time it takes to answer screeners is ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH THE EFFORT. Look- Most Screeners end up requiring at least a video answer and a written one. And they are not one word answer quickies. D Scout is strict on quality respondents, too strict. Be prepared to complete a hefty demographic profile, and devote at least 10 minutes to apply to each opportunity. Think about it; you spend 10 minutes applying per opportunity, and say you do 2 a day. By the end of the week you devoted 100 minutes to them. Is that rational? I am a longtime respondent and worked with various qual/quan platforms. The ones that you want to stick with will at least incentivize part of the application process when it’s THAT LENGTHY. Even if it’s stupid points to accrue. At least it’s something. I’d rather get tossed a peanut than nothing. And D Scout, I have no idea how you guys swing this thing now. I feel bad for you guys screwing people over.

I use to love this App, but it feels like I haven’t been able to earn successfully in over a year. I find myself going far into some surveys proving good information and then later being told I’m not a fit after wasting my time. And even if I do make it thru, I’m no longer being selected. My biggest issue is that I’m no longer receiving express. This is the problem that makes me question why I still have the app. The last time I completed an express mission was 04/05/2022. After one update, I no longer get express missions. I’m honestly just about to delete this app because it’s taking up valuable space.

Legit way to earn some extra cash. Earned over $2000 in 7 months. Scout support is awesome should you have a problem. Most missions are actually kind of fun. Only negative is occasionally mission leaders go MIA and leave you hanging with a partially or fully completed mission. Dscout steps in when this happens and I’ve never not gotten paid… but it can take several weeks. I’ve also had lives cancelled last minute after arranging my day around them. Most of the time everything goes smoothly though.

I don’t normally write app reviews, but I cannot rave about this app enough. I love that feeling I get when I make a difference and this app gives me the opportunity to do that. I’ve seen many things I beta tested become a reality in my 3 years as a scout. I got to test myfitnesspal, the hair type filter on Pinterest, features on the metaverse of apps, etc. It’s really cool to see these things come to life based on feedback I’ve provided. I haven’t always been consistent with applying to stuff, but I’ve made over $16k in the last 3 years. That averages to about $450 a month and there were many months I didn’t apply to things at all. I even got my 75 year old aunt hooked! She routinely gets $150+ studies. The interface is super user friendly as well, and dscout is always finding ways to make it easier to use.

The fact that I am writing this says it all But Can you guys make it so you can edit the questions after you answered it, I almost threw my phone at the wall because I had to restart 25 open ended questions. This has happened to me several times aswell
