I've had 2 or 3 tasks off this app, not much but they do pay well

Currently thought I need to move to North America by the looks of it

I'm waiting for this one to take off over here - I've had the app over a year. I don't think they're bothering with it though.

My main issue with it is you have to apply for the 'gig' & then wait to hear if you're allocated it. Even if I apply today knowing I'll be in that town tomorrow, you won't hear in time. I'm used to either checking whilst I'm at a location or accepting a job in advance & know I'll be in a certain town on a certain day.

My next issue is if you have a question, you send it directly to the client. All well & good, but if I'm completing a job, I need an answer ASAP (like FA do - usually). I ended up contacting Gigwalk & asking for it to be de-allocated as I hadn't had a reply. They told me they couldn't, the client would answer my question / de-allocate it. I never heard from the client & it was eventually de-allocated. Even if they'd answered the question, I wouldn't have travelled back to the town to complete the gig.

Gigwalk said it wouldn't affect my standing.

Another negative post about an app...

The most recent thing I've seen is a couple of pharmacy visits. $34 - great (not near enough for me to do as the nearest was 2 hour drive away). What did you have to do? Covertly take over 100 photos of all the shelves, aisles, promotions etc. Yes that isn't a typo, over 100. Covertly. I'm used to covertly taking photos in shops, mainly supermarkets. How can they seriously expect you to take over 100 covertly in a small pharmacy without being noticed? If I'd done one I think I'd still be trying to upload / send the photos.

Despite never having completed a gig & only applying for 1 (abandoned), I am in the top 10% of Gigwalkers with an above average performance.

They obviously do a lot of gigs in the States as there are often gigs worth thousands of $ in cities.

I downloaded this a few months back and messaged them to see whether they were operating in the UK. They said they offer gigs in the US, Canada and UK. However I've still not seen one yet on the app. It's a shame because people will delete the app, meaning less agents, meaning jobs don't get completed, reducing the chance of future jobs.

Fred, I've got a score of 62, and am in the top 50... All I've done is downloaded the app and checked it a few times a week.

Some of you may of heard of the app gigwalk, very similar to that of field agent and roamer but in the US but what sets them apart is the design of the app and how it actually works which is were most people are let down. But when are they going to roll this out to the UK

Are you just trying to get your post count up to 10 by any chance? You miscounted and have only done 9 in quick succession.

If you were serious, I'd respond to this. Just because you make 10 posts, they have to be quality posts. One person has already been banned today because of this.

Looks fairly simple audit tasks all within M25
They are about £10 to. Looks like a good earner. I can see one on my walk to work so I might grab it monday if it hasn't gone already. Would be interested to know if they pay in USD or GBP as I'm only seeing USD on the app.

:)

Its actually been around for a few years Cas, only discovered it yesterday. Rev: It will likely pay in USD like Findyr does, if they pay into Paypal it will convert i believe. If you do one would you mind posting a wee run down of what is ACTUALLY expected of you? (Should be in the smoke again this week, may try some if near too)

Just done one task .. not sure if it will get approved .

The app has a couple bugs . Doesn’t upload photos properly.

With the task I couldn’t locate any of the drinks they were looking for .

So for a lot of the questions I put n/a

They mostly want to know how the product and where it isplaced and how many different types of drinks they have of the brand .

I managed to upload the task after about 30 mins , hopefully it doesn’t get rejected

Well done @Cas for the report, i may try some when next in smoke, I emailed their support over weekend to ask if they would have jobs outside of London, they replied back saying they have a very limited presence in UK and they hope to get more tasks here

Did everything get approved and paid ok Cas? Might have a look at this one.
