Individuals who download this app will be directed to take and submit photographs of objects in a particular category, for which they will be eligible to receive compensation on a per image basis.

What are users saying about A9 Data Collection

Q70%
by Q####:

Having items listed by category would be helpful as well. Eg: Grocery/Food, Electronics, etc. Similar to Dept stores. What would also be great is to be able to Retry a Hit that you accidentally hit "Return Hit." Once you hit that button, you are NOT allowed to accept that same Hit again. Either button placement should be changed/adjusted. OR asking the user to Confirm their decision before Returning a Hit and/or Submitting a hit. Sometimes a hit can be submitted prematurely for the same reason.

Now when I open it (always on wifi), it tells me I'm not connected to the internet and shows nothing but that. What gives?

T70%

Flips the camera upside down. The app does this because it's using a very old and obsolete version of Google's camera API. A9 Innovations, you fixed this in your Flow Powered app 2 months ago, why not this one?

I have only used this app a few times so far and I had no problems using it. The hits I did were approved in a timely manner.

Q70%
by Q####:

The camera is always upside-down and in reverse when I'm trying to take a photo. Makes it difficult to get a clean shot.

Pretty cool a year ago... Yet to have seen any new picture hits for many months 12+. Better off just working on hits on main site

I don't understand why only certain states can do it. I was really excited. I'm from the midwest.

Have used this app for the past year with few problems. Has stopped working in the past month with the error "No Internet connection." Not sure what's changed. I hope A9 brings out a patch to fix the trouble soon.

It would be nice to have a little film strip on the bottom so we can see the pictures we just took. That way, we can ensure they are different angles etc. Button placements could be better or a popup confirming a submit, discard. Just minor things that could make the app/work better.

Mine is saying no internet connection. Right along with my girlfriend. We both can't access this app. We do have internet. Why is this happening? Anyone?

C70%

Will there ever be new hits added to this? I've been waiting months for new ones, as I've already completed all the ones i have the ability to take photos of.

I am now uninstalling, as I have lost my chance to do anything for mturk with this. Don't know why it won't work. Very irritated. Thanks for nothing.

Was a great app until one day it told me I had no Internet connection when I was connected. Haven't been able to get on since then.

U70%
by U####:

I did about 10 HITS and can't do any more because I don't have any of those things around here. I wish it would have more. I'll give 5 stars if I see more to choose from. Otherwise, everything works perfect and I get paid within a couple hours.

All is says it 'No Internet Connection, Please Try Again '. I obviously have internet connection, it let me login.

They finally made a app for mturk! !! So ecstatic hopefully it's as good as the online site will totally rescore this after I play with it for a while an see how it does *long time mturk user*

Ive only been mturking for a month and a half and I downloaded this app when I started . I had no problems the first couple of weeks and I took pics and submitted what I could. For the next month I continuously checked the hit list to see if new stuff was being added or if the hit list options had changed. They never did.....just the same list of kitchen items that I didn't have. A few days ago an error message started showing upon launch that stated that I had noInternet connection which is not the case and no matter how many times I've refreshed or cleared cache, it's still the same. The app is totally inoperable. I will change my rating back to 5 stars when these issues are fixed. If they haven't been fixed within a decent amount of time I think I'm just going to uninstall. I would like to ask while I'm updating this review if the list of hits ever changes or if new things are ever added? If not then the app is not beneficial to me and I might as well uninstall anyway as I've done all of the hits that I can do. This is a legitimate question.... (I'm truly not being snarky).... since I'm new to the A9 Data app and because I have never seen any different hits since the first time I opened the app. Thanks in advance for any response that I may get!

U70%
by U####:

Great so far. One complaint, however, is that most HITs I select give me an error saying that it is "reviewable" and not able to be done. If there was a way to know ahead of time which HITs are active then I would give it 5 stars.

H70%

It just keeps saying no Internet connection but I am connected to the Internet. I have tried it on WiFi and on my phone services 4G Internet.

U70%
by U####:

I do mturks on amazon all the time. But you can only use this app if you live in certain states. If I would have seen something that said that beforehand, I wouldn't have taken the time to download it.

I made an extra 7 bucks one night doing hits. Wish there were more apps like this. Highly recommend to anyone who uses AMT

U70%

It will only work if I am connected to WiFi. Even if I have 4G and 5 bars it says I have no connection. Could do a lot more if it worked across data.

It only showed me a few kitchen item hits, which I did. They paid quickly which was great, but now I'm out of hits and it never updates with new ones.
