Field Agent

I really like this app a lot and have completed many jobs on there. But, like others have mentioned, the pay is pretty low for the amount of time and work that is required. I also don’t like that I’m unable to see a list of all the requirements and questions before starting. I am only able to see them as I complete one question/photo of the assignment and click to the next screen. This makes it very difficult to complete the assignment without bringing attention to yourself, unless it’s just one of those quick jobs. Another issue I’ve found is that sometimes you’re required to take multiple photos in any given area but have to separate them between screens instead of being able to load them all on one screen. This takes longer and makes it easier to be seen. I have never had any issues with submission or customer service and have always been paid correctly. I wish other apps like this worked as efficiently with processing. I will continue to use it and I recommend it to others that are looking for work on the side but I do wish a few things like I mentioned above were improved.

I love the app and it’s by far the most well managed and efficient process I’ve seen for this type of assignment work. But I gave it a 3 star because like some of the reviews before me had mentioned, they DO NOT PAY ENOUGH FOR THE ASSIGNMENTS! It’s actually quite insulting the rate of money they expect us to be okay with. There are some as low as $2-$3 and the assignment could easily take 30-45 mins to complete especially including travel time and gas money to get to the store. Home Depot and Lowe’s jobs pay $3 and they want around 20 pictures and 60 questions answered sometimes. It’s sad actually because myself and many others are desperate for cash so we can’t refuse work even though it’s so obvious that companies are taking advantage of us by not being fair and sticking to equal pay for equal work. These assignments should be at least $10-$20 each one depending on what the requirements are and how many pictures taken. I agree with the reviewer that said they should pay $5 each picture/5 questions answered. These companies are saving so much money by hiring people like us for pennies instead of having a regular worker with benefits and all the good perks that come with permanent jobs. The least they can do is pay us fairly for our time. If Field Agent starts paying us equal pay for equal work, I would give them a 5 star perfect review and recommend to people all the time. Thank you for reading.

After becoming increasingly disgruntled with my very demanding job of 5 years, I quit my full time job in April 2018. I had no clue what i was going to do for income but I knew I no longer wanted to put my all into a business that was effecting my personal health(mental and physical) and personal life; as my yearly gross income decreased every year because of poor upper management. I had heard about “secret shopping” apps I thought this would be a way to earn a little cash, while I was figuring out my next move. So I started searching apps in the first one sounded where they are trying was Field Agent. After completing several jobs, and getting paid, I was very happy. While working with Field Agent alone, will not make you rich, you get to select your own jobs and work at your discretion and payout is generally very quick. I now do this kind of work, for several companies and also have a few cleaning jobs I do. I’m happy to say, my gross income for 2018 was only $2,000 less than the previous year and I couldn’t be happier with my work! I will stress that jobs must be completed correctly to get paid, so take pride in the work you do, as you should with any job!

I wasn’t sure if I even wanted to try this app after reading some reviews. Let’s be honest, though, those reviews are people who want free money handed to them. This is one of my favorite apps so far! In less than a week I made over $30! Not even kidding. Some jobs are low paying, like $1 for 1 picture, but that’s better than nothing. I’ve gotten paid $2+ for surveys, which I love since most survey apps pay less than $1. (Not every survey pays, but you can choose which ones you take). There’s lots of different categories to choose jobs from, buy and try is probably my favorite, because they let you buy an item and reimburse you for it, plus pay you for trying it!!! Which is absolutely awesome. Downside, since it’s such an awesome app jobs go quick, so you have to check it a lot, but I don’t really feel like that’s an issue. Huge pro for me: the support team is amazing and quick to respond. When I’ve emailed them they get back to me in less than 24hrs. Honestly I would download it and try it, just to see. If you hate it no big loss. If you love it, I told you so :)

First let me say the app works very well. Also with some company’s I would just rate how the app works. With this company I believe the review should be as much about how the app works and how well the crowd sourced jobs are. I have used this off and on for 5 plus years. They are good about paying out jobs and getting the money transferred to your account. Based on all of the above it probably should be a 4 star app. Now why I gave it 2 stars. The main reason for using this app is to earn money and the app has changed in 2017, just like a lot of work. Field Agent continues to increase the time and effort to complete a job while reducing the payouts for the jobs. I believe they should have a simple payout formula. The $5 covers a job with 1 picture and 5 questions. After that the job should pay $5 per picture and $5 per 5 questions. Yes it would increase the cost of the jobs. It also would be less than what it would cost to have a full time employee do the jobs and it would help keep companies from requesting unnecessary task as part of the jobs. Just wanted to share my frustrated thoughts. For the short term I will keep the app on my phone but very close to just giving it up.
