Mobee - Secret Shopping App

I do missions while I’m already out to pick up a little extra cash in gift cards. If you have the 500 points for the $5 gift card you can literally cash them in, check your email and use the card right away! It is true some missions only pay 150 points ($1.50), but it adds up quickly if you keep an eye out for stuff near you. Yesterday I did 6 missions on the way home (4 of which were posted as I was doing other missions) after giving a friend a ride to work and earned enough money to get a cheese danish at Starbucks and have plenty left over to save towards a gift card to buy Christmas presents. I suggest you treat this app as a little extra cash while you’re out but not something to go spend extra gas on. Some tips-make sure you read the instructions, finish the mission completely (don’t get distracted with the sales!) before doing anything else-I’ve screwed myself out of missions by looking around the store and someone else scooped in and finished it! Also make use of the question they ask if you had any difficulties-tell them! They want to know and they will take that into consideration when deciding if you did the mission correctly!

And so much fun ;) I seriously don’t understand all the negative reviews. This is REAL money here, people!! I’ve gotten over $500 cash since I started back in January. And that’s without even really trying. I bet I can easily break $1000 before the end of the year, as I intend to do a lot of traveling and you get bonus $ for doing shops far from your location. I’ll agree with some users that getting your shops rejected can be frustrating...but many times if you explain the issue, they’ll end up approving your mission. And if not, often award you ‘partial’ points for at least putting your best effort forward. Again, this is an incredible app and I’ve done many MANY like these, as this is by far one of the best!! Don’t listen to the naysayers and download to see for yourself. Mo🐝 on!!!

This is an update to my original review. Apparently Mobee does not have the courtesy to respond to reviews. I have monitored this page since uploading this review and the only reply is silence. My inference is that Mobee is paid for the information we collect, yet keeps finding ways to cheat people out of the compensation they are owed. If you are looking to make extra cash from the gig economy, you definitely want to stay away from this app. I was originally a fan of this app. Then, after completing enough missions for a $100 payout, I completed the steps to claim my reward and waited and waited and waited. After a few weeks I contacted their support. I received an email from their community support person which I interpreted as the delay being my fault. She resent the reward email, but neglected to clear up confusion over how long I had to redeem. When I discovered the problem, I contacted he again and her response was that there was nothing they could do. I tried contacting the prize vendor but that was a waste. Mobee’s “excuse” was that it is a reward, not compensation for work accomplished. That is the lamest BS I have ever heard. Bottom line: wasting your time doing tasks for this app is definitely not worth it.

You can’t accept a “mission” unless you are at the location, which is very inconvenient and I’ll explain why. I saw a mission right down the street from my house so I decided to give it a try and see how it works. Drove 3 minutes to the location and when I went to accept the mission, it was gone. Frustrated, but wasn’t ready to give up. I saw another mission 12 minutes away and decided to give it another try. Drove as fast as I could all the way to the other location and as I was pulling in, it disappeared. Now, extremely frustrated, I was done. I just wasted my time and gas. Drove all the way home and as I was around the corner from my house, the first mission popped back up. I thought, why not, let’s try one more time. Pulled in and tried to accept the mission. I got an error message and it kept telling me to try again. I sat there for a while retrying and retrying. Tried to restart the app and guess what, the mission was gone. I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised. It’s impossible to make any more with this app. I wasted 45 mins of my time and gas driving around for a possible $2.50. Deleting this app and never looking back. Such garbage.

I have accomplished many missions for months and accumulated almost a hundred dollars but these days the app went wrong. The missions appeared and when I reached the destination they disappeared. It was the same pattern for a few days. On Monday. I emailed the support team and followed her steps to recover the app but does not work. I followed her last step and uninstalled the app and reinstalled it again. It is so frustrating that it could not connect with my Facebook again and keep saying I put the wrong password. I emailed the support team many times for 3 days asking for resetting the password but they never replied. So sad when I could not open my Mobee account again. So sad when I have wasted a lot of time doing these missions and many of them were only $1.5 . So sad when you reached the destination and found out that the mission was taken by others since the missions cannot be reserved. So sad when you have spent over an hour to complete a mission of $8 and they rejected it because they replied it was a bug. It is just a WASTE Of TIME here.
