So fed up with Appen and the Tigris project, constantly sent me emails about my FB URL not being valid and to send a proper FB link, time and time again I sent them my FB link, and here they are back again with the same old not valid email. In the end I just hit the "No longer interested" reply, really unprofessional, just shows they don't even bother reading what I write to them.

Sadly we are just numbers to them. I've been 'welcomed' to two projects recently and have heard nothing since, it's not unusual behaviour. They have more than enough workers to pick from and once they have enough they don't even bother to let you know. I try to use the money I earn to create other income streams as I know the work I'm doing from Appen will end.

With regards to technical issues, check the chat. Other workers normally have solutions to help. I've found that if it's not a widespread problem then the support team don't care. Sadly, it's the nature of this type of work. I keep my expectations low

The guidelines kept saying error anyway, it wouldn't load up, so I tried to guess my way through the quiz and failed lol!


If this happens again - click on the learning centre button next to the project.This has a link that allows you to open the guidelines. Also don't forget to always check the social tab you can always ask for help or see if anyone has the same problem.

Just wondering how was you able to obtain the guidelines for this project? The learning centre link doesn't work so i'm stuck

Hi everyone.

I am new here but have been working for Appen for 5 years.

Just a couple of questions (if it is OK to ask).

  1. Have seen a few references on this forum to people transferring their Payoneer payments to Paypal. I can’t see any way of doing this on the Payoneer website. So, can anybody explain to me how this is done..?​
  2. Earlier this year my bank introduced a fee for receiving international payments. I have managed to avoid these so far by only transferring small amounts at a time, but this is going to get more frustrating from now on as I have recently been let go by a second company, meaning I am now working for Appen only. So, is anyone with a bank that does not charge a fee to receive the payment from Payoneer?​
  3. Has anyone ever done either of the two ad projects, and if so would you recommend them? Cos if I need to boost hours in the near future, it looks like these are my only real options. Is the work easier or harder compared to the main project?​

Just on point 2

Remember that any banking fees (international fees, paypal fees) you can claim back in your tax return ;) - Don't even let the money go and not claim it back as it can often end up in the hundreds!

Anyone done project Nile?

move worked it for the year and got the email saying my access would be removed on the 21st. But I can still access the project.

Do I work till they remove access or just stop doing the work from the 21st?

Obvs would like to carry on but don’t want to do work I won’t be paid for.

Yes unfortunately they are like this. I've lost count of the number of projects I've been invited to then not given logins or access to the tools despite emailing them again and again.

I have probably another month left on it myself but from what I've heard they are normally pretty efficient at ending your time on it and I know of no one who has been extended beyond a year.

Yeah I’d heard the same which is why I’m wondering if I’m supposed to continue work until my access is removed.

Same here. I’ve qualified for numerous projects, and never get any work for them.

Thanks. TBH, since I started doing self assessments I’ve never put anything down as costs as that has never seemed relevant to me up to this point. But will keep this in mind if I do incur any of these fees.

Bank charges, laptops, etc - claim it all! You’re entitled to if you are self employed!

Anyone doing project Newskah on Appen? Just got invited to it, and went onto the surveys tab, (well I assume that's where I'm meant to go) but when I hit the link, it just said "this content isn't available right now" so I take it I just wait until it is? As usual with Appen I find everything so vague, and badly put together.

It appears to be a common problem. Send them a message to let them know. I've been invited to 4 projects in the last two weeks and none so far have come to anything yet. I think they are over inviting and then cherry-picking. It's very annoying.

Thanks, I will, they definitely don't seem to be a very well run company I have to say.
