Smartphone Apps [OT] Streetbees tasks, (almost) UK WIDE :-)

[member=2821]mabozza[/member] Wow! You made that much in 5 days that's amazing!

Looks like I might have to eventually get an iPhone... but I do have an ipod nano with a camera (pretty sure). Not too sure how to get Internet on it whilst I'm out and about. Probably some device thing I could buy maybe. Will have to investigate.x

 

[mabozza]

To be fair I do 2000 miles a week driving around uk so hit them heavy... not sure about nano.. try it and see. .. if it has wifi then I see no reason why not... use tethering or wifi hot spots

I received an email from Streetbees that says they will be running a weekly job every Friday. The app still isn't available in the app store so they recommend using the web tool http://app.streetbees.com/webapp. I actually prefer the app when it's working! Will have to take a look.

[member=2821]mabozza[/member] do you think it's possible to do a fair amount of tasks by public transport and foot?

 

[mabozza]

Tbh I doubt it.... maybe over all apps ..Roamler tends to have hundreds of lower paying jobs packed more dense.. T360 tasks look close but can be 5 miles apart...maybe in London it would be easier than driving

The tasks in London tend to go very quickly - especially on Roamler. As soon as the regulars are released at 7.30 am they are gone. I find Task360 ones are more 'involved' and tend to have a slower uptake. I don't mind either way. It's all money

Depends on where you are in the country in my opinion. Billboards go quickly and so do lots of others. I find I need to be quick or that's it. But I like to stay within my city and surrounding areas. The only Roamler task I see go quickly is flowers but then again I don't check that often since the pay is quite low. I usually see jobs lingering before the price slowly starts to increase.

The only tasks I've been able to get on foot is blades with Field Agent. And that's only if I can get the city centre locations where 5 shops are bunched together. Other than that, I wouldn't bother myself. I agree with mabozza, they look close together on the map but they're often not. I'd yank my hair out on the bus. Public transport won't take direct routes and jobs will likely expire before you get to them.

 

[mabozza]

Agree with Rumcake above.. you may get up and see dozens of jobs there you reserve a couple and then the time you spend on the bus the other tasks get picked off and you find you've list half a day and only made a tenner... sorry to sound negative but that is the reality...blades Friday is insanity... 3pm they appear and 90% are grabbed by 3:02

Has anyone had trouble logging on? Got email this morning about loads of jobs going live in my area but when I log in I get my details then says no internet connect when I've got 4g and 5 bars then it crashes.

 

[Darkhorse]

In the email they gave a link to the web version of the app to log into while they are still fixing the app. Here:

We also highly recommend you use the web app by clicking on this link: app.streetbees.com/webapp

 

[Rumcake]

The web app isn't working for me. It gets stuck on the location message looking for tasks. I've emailed [member=527]Streetbees[/member] but they haven't replied. Hopefully they fix the app soon since it's still missing from the app store and I deleted previously because it kept crashing.

For me too.

Since the app hasn't been working they seem to have had a lot of tasks.

 

[L327tgc]

App is working now as I did 1 for trail as runs to 27th so if it gets past then these will be an absolute breeze to do as 5 or so mins per store for 4 quid and if you have local stores next to each other more the better

 

[melomanias]

The web app was working intermittently for me today. Planned to do a few tasks, but ended up only doing one - and taking forever due to lack of signal, photo file size limits, etc. Most of the time the task wouldn't become available and I would just stay stuck on the 'We will now check tasks for your location' screen.

Really looking forward to their next app!

 

[Rumcake]

I'm such a noob! I figured a way to get the app back. I was able to get previous downloads from within the purchased section in the app store by selecting 'not on this iPhone'. The task is there and working. The web app has been stuck all day. I will try to get some jobs tomorrow even though the app say to use the web app.. but it doesn't load.

 

[BreeziOG]

Has anyone had a task approved when they've submitted it through the iPhone app lately. I have a few supermarket tasks I want to do but like the rest of you, the web app is not working for me.

 

[Petrolman]

I've completed 20 of these new tasks and found them quite easy!! The web app wasn't working yesterday and they did supply me with a link to complete on whats app but today the web app has been trouble free!!

Anyone completing them for the first time I suggest you work out which stores your going to complete first and note down the postcode as you will need it - I simply went on Asda/morrison/tesco etc store locator and jotted down all the postcodes for all the stores small or large.
The small local stores and quick and easy to complete - £100 for around 3 hours work and about £5 in fuel so not bad!!

Yes, I did a survey task last week and it was paid on Monday.

 

[Rumcake]

I got mine approved almost instantly. I went for a large Asda & Sainsburys but found it quite tedious. I think I'll try again tomorrow with convenience type and Tesco expresses. Should be able to move a lot quicker. Nice work [member=504]Petrolman[/member]

 

[L327tgc]

I've only managed 2 jobs as I can only get the large supermarkets and my profile don't match for the smaller shops,very annoying as I've got loads of them where a work and drive around but can't do them
