Job Spotter

The app used to be really good, but lately the algorithm is completely backwards. The most I've ever gotten was from a corporate chain restaurant and all the small, local places only give 5-30 points now. It used to be that the independent places would be about 70 points, which is worth the time. Not worth my time to pull over to the side of rhe road to take pics for 5 points. They should also bring back the option to help validate pics from others for 10 points. The app had potential.

The app used to be great, went around town whenever I could to snap a few places looking for staff and got rewarded good. For the past month or two, the points have been cut a lot, you barely get more than 60 points even for a first spotter of a small shop. Not worth the time anymore for such a small amount of prize. Also, the app's become very slow and crashing from time to time.

I really enjoyed using this app, it was a casual sort of thing that could be done as and when, and I liked the fact it supported employment and local businesses. Then they removed the verification feature. As someone who doesn't live in a big city or a bustling shopping scene with frequent and plenty job opportunities, its now increasingly hard to build up points. Disappointing.

I'd like the verify option back. You'll only get points if you are constantly going out places where there's job postings in the window. I don't always get that option and having the app for the rare occasion I get to post a listing is a little inconvenient to say the least. It's also unfair that those that haven't done the update still get to use the feature and get points.

New version is terrible. Crashes when it opens if you try to snap a job before it's fully done it's thing (taken it's time and loaded maps). Camera lag is awful. The old old version was great. It's rare that I use it now. From £20 a month to £20 every six months if I'm lucky - just to slow. And I used to love verifying, that's gone too. It's now a great big slow app and you don't earn many points!

I've been using this app for 2 years now and I make between $50-100 a month. While there was a period of time when the app was unusable, the developers seem to have worked out the bugs and it's now stable. You get more for smaller businesses etc. Sometimes ads will be categorized as the wrong business or as not being an ad, but there are CS support options that are quite simple to fix the issue

Awesome app for those who look to help job seekers all while out and about just by taking a picture. However, it's gotten to the point where places you submit aren't eligible, they've been submitted already so you can't submit them anymore, or the app gets an error so the GPS signal gets disrupted and causes entries to be not accepted. I got to the point where the errors weren't being fixed and I was just wasting my time with this app.

This is a fantastic app to make a little cash while out shopping or going for a walk. You never know where you might see an ad for a job, and when you do you can make sometimes £1.50 for spending 1min taking a quick photo. The app is so simple to use and you can get your earned cash redeemed in an amazon voucher immediately if you want , or just watch the money add up until you want it. I have had issues with the app starting at times and had to uninstall and reinstall it.

I used this app to collect points for half a year. I happily uploaded pictures and accepted whatever points were given. However, upon updating my phone, I opened the app to discover I had to sign up again. All progress was completely lost, as I had not yet redeemed my points. I worked hard but this company DID NOT follow through with their end of the bargain. They did not give me any of the money I earned. I will no longer use Indeed from now on.

very easy to use, and the Amazon gift cards rewards arrive very quickly via email. the algorithms are a bit odd - sometimes the points that are rewarded are not what you would expect according to the guidelines, but overall a great way of earning some extra cash for the effort of taking some pictures. just make sure they picture of the job ads are very clear and easy to read, and the picture of the premises advertising is likewise.

This is a great app to use since it doesn't take extra work if you are walking around anyway. However it seems the points assigned can be random at times and inconsistent. Overall I like the app and the goal of it to make an updated database of hiring positions. Hopefully points can be more rewarding in the future or the app could risk being not used.

I've made up to $50 in a month, and $20 in a few days if in a smaller town with a lot of independent shops. I only wish the zoom option was still available in the interface and that I didn't need to be connected to internet to open the app. EDIT: the app has introduced expiration dates for credit, and the points awarded have dropped significantly. It's not worth my time to stop and take a photo for 5 cents.

Update: I used to love this app, and I was patient with all the glitches: false network error, blank screens, slow app which resulted in restarting phone on multiple occasions and getting signs rejected despite being the first one to submit for the day. However, it's not worth the trouble when pay out is $0.05 per sign (previously $0.75). A few people have stated how the same folks keep getting high scores and that it's rigged. It's not hard to rack up points when you live in a big city.

Absolute con! I spent a lot of time on this app only to open it up to find "too many spam ads" I work all over the country so has been a good past time while hanging around. But opened it up to find the accounts been lcoked! I had 2 x £100 vouchers pending! The message i get doesnt have any type of support or anything. Don"t bother waste of time and phone data.

I've been with this app for years! I'm not sure what happened, if it's the time of year or if they got stingy but the payout is AWFUL compared to what it used to be. I usually go to the same spots for points year after year and months after months. Keep in mind I've easily made close to $200 with this app in the past but now I struggle to accumulate $5..... The same spots I used to go to for 20-100 points now are giving as little as 5 points! It's ridiculous I wish I had more room to type!

I use this app for over 2 years and it was one of the good apps as far as using it in conjunction with my other gig apps. however, as of the latest update, it is starting to become more work for less. you're now competing with people in your area with the way the new app is now set up, which means you have a lower chance of making decent points. i used to average about 60 points per posting. Now, it's less than 20 points. I have to review a map in addition to taking a pictute otherwise. not fair

Good fun. Dont take it too seriously, but it's nice to give my Amazon credit a little boost ftom time to time, just when I notice an ad in a window. Cant knock it. Money for very little effort. It is a shame you can't take photos and submit them later, as sometimes I find ads where there is no phone signal or Wifi and the app won't open. I usually have to walk to find a signal to open the app, then walk back to the ad and snap, then walk to get a signal to upload. First world problem!

Just recently without any warning and without letting anyone know, they have changed the criteria and "algorithm" they use for giving points. The other day I went out and got 5 pts for almost every single one I submitted, even though I typically higher points for it in the past. Now you have to use the map feature and only submit the ones with bright green dots, otherwise you get next to nothing. Hardly worth it anymore. Oh, & don't get your reflection or in your pics or it'll get rejected.

Update 11/02/2019: after some correspondence with the support team last year, the apps issues remain largely the same. (i.e. "This app closes unexpectedly"). I took a break for the winter months due to the cold, hoping that the issues would be fixed by the New year but unfortunately they are not.

since the app was updated, my account has been suspended due to "spam" issues. considering ive been a user of the app for years, this didn't make any sense, as I've always followed the guidelines. unfortunately customer service offered no sort of resolution nor support, except for informing me that the credit I had was revoked as well. This is extremely upsetting and disappointing, especially since it does take awhile for the credit to accumulate, for it to just be revoked due to an app update.
