Smartphone Apps [OT] Task360 - Earn money completing tasks with your iPhone

[Rumcake]

Did anybody have any problems uploading today's billboard tasks? I reserved two, carried them out, but kept getting an 'Oops' error message when trying to upload. The online support guy was quick and friendly in response, but had no record of me reserving the tasks, so couldn't help. They then disappeared from my app altogether - not appearing under 'My Tasks', 'Available Tasks' or my profile. Ended up wasting a couple of hours, and now the app starts to crash. Tried logging out and in again, as well as deleting then re-installing the app on my iPhone 4S, both to no avail. Was it just me?

I didn't get the long awaited billboard tasks - only stacks of street name tasks which were too far away. I've got the 4s too - I hope that any updates of the app have not now made it difficult to use with the 4s? If I manage to access any billboard tasks I will let you know...good luck

Billboards have been going extra fast recently. I managed to get 18 yesterday morning. To be honest though, they were a little difficult this time. I couldn't find any of the fly posters. Felt like a wild goose chase. The majority of the others were off the pin slightly. Lot's of walking with limited parking...

I've had some new street name tasks pop up today. Not seen any of these billboard tasks appear at all this week. Maybe I don't live in an area that has any?

There are now over 8000 street name tasks for November on the app.

I've had this app a while and the only task I've ever seen popped up recently, it was a street name task. Maybe it's something tondo with the area I live in but I'm thinking of deleting the app as there's not much on there for me

Billboards tend to be bi-monthly, on a Monday. That's because the industry, as standard, replaces billboards every two weeks. They are sometimes nationwide, sometimes specific to local areas, sometimes none at all.

Streetnames last the entire month, depending on what quota the client has specified. I believe these November street name tasks will be on for the entire of November. There's no set days these come on, it depends when Chris (et al) receive the data from the client, how long it takes them to process them and get them all tested and online.

For Task360 and FA it's best to 'like' them on facebook, not only are they very friendly and supportive but they keep you informed of what's happening, when they're likely to go live and provide maps of where the tasks will be.

Without a doubt these are the BEST apps you can have on your phone, you just have to be patient.

Hi guys
I don't (yet) have an IPhone, but do have an Ipad, I just downloaded this app and signed up on the Ipad, just to see if it warrants buying an IPhone to get out there, however, in the map view I can see only 1 single pin in the entire UK for a street name thingy, is there maybe some kind of setting I need to adjust or is it really that quiet?
Thanks

Jobs come and go but it really depends where you live. Some people do really well with it. Personally I bought an iphone and am selling it as it wasn't worth it for me. I would say its OK if you have an iphone but not worth buying one for, but thats just my personal experience.

 

[mabozza]

Thanks Sarah
Yeah everyone has differing experiences, Jon has advised it is worthwhile getting an IPhone (But I do travel all over the UK a LOT) but just that as I look at it in map view there appears to be only 1 task in the entire UK, whether this is down to me using it on an Ipad or some proximity settings thing or does the app have levels (like on Roamler) and I only see one job because I am at the lowest level??

personally I wouldn't sell that iphone as work WILL COME as many tasks are nationwide and the client base is only going to get bigger

Scrap that...just figured out how to see more jobs.. disable push notifications, go back to map, zoom in a bit hit refresh and loads of jobs popped up

 

[xDPS]

there's no varying levels like with Roamler, it just depends on where you live. I started using the Field Agent last year. This time last year there were tons of street names near me, I could literally fill two full days driving round doing them, just within a 3 mile radius of my house. Plus regular blades and billboards.
This year there isn't a single street name within 10 miles of me.
Blades and billboards don't come up so often either.
Been a disappointing year with FA/360 for me.

Blades are every four weeks, without fail and appear on the FA app.
Billboards are every two weeks, however the poor weather over the last month or two has meant many of the billboard tasks have been put on hold as the advertising agencies have not been able to replace the advertising.

It's ALWAYS worth following FA and T360 on Facebook. This weekend alone I've made £145 from FA.

Whats a blade? I've never seen one

 

[Jon]

Whats a blade? I've never seen one

Blades checks come on on a Friday afternoon. They come on at 3pm and you start doing them from 4pm - You are checking for razer blades being stocked in various stores

btw

No tasks on T360??

They came on about 3 days ago

That view does change quite a bit if you zoom in on certain areas though
