FURIOUS IS NOT THE WORD

What's wrong?

After travelling 6 miles away my compass doesn't work and I have tried everything you can possibly imagine to fix it
You might be joining my party after all then, although I'm nowhere near you.

Have you practiced with your compass at home? I have to re-calibrate it almost every time I use it which is a bit annoying (but these tasks are the only time I use it & I've none to practice it on, lol). I have sometimes found that although I get the compass direction I don't get the location, longitude & latitude showing. I close it down (swiping up, not just go out of it) & re-enter, re-calibrate etc & I get it back, sometimes after a couple of attempts.

Ahhh there was nowt wrong with me compass.....

It was the magnetic phone case.................. ::)


Doh! :p

Re: Field Agent UK - Earn money using your iPhone

Does anyone know what the oldest iPhone I could get away with is? I'm thinking of picking up a 2nd hand one fore this work but, tbh, I don't think there'll be much near me because I'm in the middle of nowhere so I don't want to spend a lot (just in case!)

Re: Field Agent UK - Earn money using your iPhone

I use a 4 & I get the same issues on that as I do on a 5c.

I'd go for the most up to date you can afford - a 4 may not be good enough for some tasks quicker than a 5 onwards.

If you're happy to give an indication of your area, we can look to see what there is currently - but that would just be a snapshot. At the moment there are only a couple of jobs in my county. Other people currently have loads of them on their doorstep with the sat nav tasks. Even queen81 had some nearby with that task. Jon always has loads where he is.

That would actually be fantastic if anyone could - I usually work in the Mid Wales/Aberystwyth area and it seems to be a dead spot for these type of jobs! I might see about trying an iPhone - the good news is that it'll soon sell again if it's no use to me!

Re: Field Agent UK - Earn money using your iPhone

I can answer that without looking, lol. Mid Wales nada, zilch. Well almost all the time. I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen something in Newtown (I've been with them a long time). Same with Welshpool. There are odd random ones occasionally e.g. Montgomery.

Aber does get a few, but Powys rarely exists unless you're down by the Brecons/heads of the valleys. Coastal areas do get a bit more (mainly north & south coast, west to a lesser extent).

I'm stuck on constant refresh & communication errors, so struggling to check the app. Currently 1 in Llani, 1 on the way to Builth, 2 going east of Rhyader, 1 north of Aber & one on the A road about level with Borth. Approaching 20 spread though out Snowdonia & NW. Lots Swansea, quite a few left in Cardiff & some scattered round the valleys.

Re: Field Agent UK - Earn money using your iPhone

Remember though that the work is dynamic

All it takes it for one new task to come on the system this week and you will have work to do

Just because the situation is whatever it is now does not mean it stays that way

Re: Field Agent UK - Earn money using your iPhone

Lol - thanks Late that sounds about right! I might just stick with the other apps for now and keep my eyes open for a bargain phone :D

That's why I've covered most of Wales with what I've said. The fact that basically since the start of FA I can count on 1 hand the number of jobs in quite a wide area (certainly time wise travelling) means there is very little there, but that is also representative of the shops in the area as well - 5 years ago there were no Tescos in the area stated, then a couple opened in quick succession. They even got a Tesco Express in Aber a month ago. For one county, which covers getting on for half of Wales, I could probably just about scrape into double figures the work I've seen, but the population is also sparse in most of the area as well.

Personally if I was covering that area, I wouldn't get an iPhone for this, but if you were looking to upgrade, I wouldn't discourage someone because there will be the odd bit of work & you may be in another area working, visiting family etc & hit on the jackpot.
