I didn't realise this....Jon could I please have the shed code? I've definitely made over ten posts now!

yup, just PM me

Well all apps are very fluid... one day could be a dozen jobs in walking distance from you ...another nearest is 30 miles away! The key is have all the apps on your phone and check them often.... then when one appears nearby you stand a chance of being first to nab it

I have done you should see my phone

Just been doing the RWW reprt, forgot how tedious and slow that is! Decent day whilst doing these in a few of the Tescos i had one or two other jobs... plus did some Sainsburys Marigold jobs on Roamler (easy) as well as 5 or 6 Paddys which went up in pay today!

I thought that soup buying thing was really weird. What's it's purpose? To try and trick the stores automated system into ordering lots more soup?

Find the soup. Take photo. Buy everything within a certain date range. Must have cost them a fortune in some stores.

I've got one of the soup jobs. What am I going to do with all that soup?

I'm doing it tonight. Should be 'fun'!

Thats exactly the reason... all mine got accepted.. but... be warned.. you will likely find like me that you will buy EVERY pot in every shop you do.. £2 a pot.. i spent £184 in total (all reimbursed)..take plenty of pics.. before... tidy up... after.. your receipt.. the report takes ages.. you also need to take pics of all the pots.. 3 pics one for each flavour... so if you buy 12 of one flavour arrange all so that bb4 dates on all are visible and in frame (dont give any away until you at least have all pics for all stores) also.. on the report answer every question even if not relevant put an n/a and fill every photo slot...even with duplicating pics already added.

This is something that really annoys me about these apps. Poorly thought out questionnaires and duplication. I had to do one for Co-op a while ago, can't remember it exactly but it was something like: is such and such poster displayed above the gondola end? If not, I had to take a picture of said end to prove it wasn't there. But then they asked if a different poster was displayed on the same end, and if it wasn't, had to take another picture of the SAME end to prove that poster wasn't there. I think they had 6 posters in all that all had separate questions and photos required of the same bloody gondola end. Could have done it with one photo and a drop down menu to chose the poster that was visible.

T'was annoying.

 

[mabozza]

Lol.. yes in many cases they do over complicate

Yep that is a common problem with Roamler. Would be solved as you suggested with a drop-down menu. Another problem is when they get you to search for an item in one section - then go to another section to search for an advert then the next question has you going back to the previous section to search for it. Found myself arousing suspicion with the security guard by rushing around the store like a headless chicken. They would benefit from good user experience design of their tasks.
All in all had a great day today - did a lot of non- roamler tasks.
