What I didn't like was Nick, the owner mentioned months several times. Also that if you eat a burger a lunch when you get home you amazon Alexia will tell you take a jog, and because you been jogging Spotify will change your play list to suit. I'm getting a little worried about this app now. If it's our data and we in total control of it. How does that fit with things being modified without our approval.
I have asked about linking Gmail too, they say they can't see anything, but the can ask questions of your Gmail, and log responses. But won't say what they ask or how often.
Anyone else noticed the screen in matches from Peter etc, occasional flash green and your phone pauses a second? I know I'm not the only one who does.
I also asked them for a copy of my data, which is mine. Got told ATM with all the work going on behind the scenes they are unfortunately unable to generate my data and provide it to me.
Sorry don't like to sound like some conspiracy nut., But things just aren't adding up.

The update by Nick felt like five minutes of hot air and waffle, with nothing tangible being offered at all. I felt that a lot of the things that he said were just pie in the sky stuff to keep us coming back to give them more data. I'm beginning to get a faint whiff of my avatar.

Think if everybody just stopped doing any of the daily questionnaires then they would be forced to get the marketplace up and running asap since they would not be getting any data.
Unfortunately allot of people will just continue to give their data and answers for free just hoping against hope that the Market Place will just appear.
Better to give nothing at all until the Market Place does appear if it ever does. I just can't see how they could afford to pay everyone with the amount of points that people have built up.
Not going to delete the app just in case I will be able to redeem my points but just not answering anymore questions until I can redeem the points I have if that ever happens or the app shuts down or disappears.

I used the app before the marketplace disappeared but i hadn't had the chance to redeem. It seems ridiculous how long they're taking to put it back up. I refuse to do anymore of their surveys till it appears again.

I agree with @Blackpepper1 if everyone stopped doing the surveys they might just get the marketplace up and running. Is there an independent survey watchdog we can complain to? I am pretty sure the answer to that is no!

There is a code of conduct that they have to adhere to (if they've signed up to it). However, I couldn't see anything in it about rewards. Also I'm not sure if they're signed up to it...

I am so glad that I am not alone with being disappointed with people.io maybe we should just call it a day and all delete our account with them. I have reached the payout amount and so have other members of my family.:confused:

Dont know if anyone saw it but the owner Nick Oliver was on TV last week on a programe called Facebook google and me. It was about data. He said you could earn money from the app and keep your data secret. He was interviewed. Surely he is telling lies then if he is saying the app is still active and you can earn money.

Why dont we get on to him instead of letting it go.

How much money are you owed from them just out of interest?

According to the weekly updates, the marketplace should be coming back in the next week. They've said they have rewards in place ready and are just doing the final tweaks before the launch. We shall see if they do.
Personally, I've carried on doing the daily questions. They take no more than a few seconds to do and are quite fun. If I get paid, great, if I don't, so be it.

It's back. And for 30000 points an iPhone x is up for grabs. Shame I've only got 6000 odd

Does anyone know what the marketplace was priced like before please???
I've got a feeling nothing is going to be as good value, at the moment my 8 months of points = £10, and that's if it's ever not sold out!
