Rewards - Prizes & Rewards

I enjoy keeping up with this app on a daily basis - the only issue I have is not being able to tell if you won. There should be a notification that comes up, or some way to tell on the app who won which sweepstakes or something like that. Also, if there could be an option or way to earn more points for consecutive surveys or something like that, because the amount of points you have to save up for guaranteed 1 and 5$ gift cards is so high it is basically years of using the app to earn $5! I have recommended people and they have downloaded the app from the link I sent them, but I never saw any portion of their points or any bonus for convincing them to download the app and give it a shot - just suggestions to better appease your users - but I love the concept and the app itself is flawless.

I’ve had panel app for over 3 years and have so far only gotten 1 reward (I don’t do the sweepstakes stuff, I get the “guaranteed” gift cards). I finally was thinking I was getting to enough points for another gift card but the points requirement was increased. I need 10,000 more points now :-( [to put it in perspective, in 3 years and 4 months I’ve gotten about 41,000 points]. It is pretty easy to periodically take a survey but sometimes it asks you about your location a week later and you have to look at the map and really think about where you were. I guess they get money for advertising because it often asks if I’ve heard of a product and which products I prefer. I do feel like since they are constantly able to track your location you should get more points (it’s kind of like having a little spy). But a few extra bucks for people to know where I am and what I’m doing (which is already being done to everyone anyway) is OK for now.

I still like this app but, at the beginning giving up my time which is as valuable as the app creators and I was compensated properly and fairly. Now to get to a prize etc it takes forever and I am not contacted as often as before and I drive at least 5 days out of the week. Updates causes the page to show errors and I loose points after responding to all the questions. This is what they call bate and hook. You start an app like it then it turns to something you just don’t want to waste your valuable time on anymore. One thing creators have to understand without us there is no winner apps and they become deleted. Think about it.

It’s an okay app but don’t expect to actually get money because it takes probably months to earn a dollar. However you are getting points for doing pretty much nothing so I can’t really complain. Overall, I do like the app and think it’s worth having (I’m not sure if they pay out and I’ll update my review if I ever reach enough points to cash out). My only real complaint is that I did refer someone and she joined and has been using the app but I didn’t get the points. I contacted support but nothing happened. I didn’t even hear back from them. So I don’t know what to think about that. If I got the points for the referral, I’d give the app 5 stars because again you’re getting something for basically nothing and I can appreciate that. I’ll keep using the app but I’m not referring anyone else until I get my points for the first referral.

This app consistently has point earning surveys, but you earn so few points per survey that it takes forever to earn from. Each survey is super quick and easy though, only 1-5 questions usually and only takes about 2 minutes. The questions are either about naming where you were based on a specific location you were at a specific date and time (w/ a pinned spot on a map), or asking if you went to a certain location or purchased a certain item recently. Also, it doesn’t always tell me I have a new survey available. Between that and being a slow earner, that’s why I only gave it a 4 out of 5. Overall, for how little time it takes it’s worth it despite being a slow earner.
