GigSpot for Android
Take these bad reviews with a grain of salt. "Losing money" because the app won't open? News flash: It's not lost money if it wasn't yours in the first place. And you can contact the scheduler if you're experiencing these problems. I've been using this app for almost a year without any problems. The only reason I rate it less than 5 stars is due to things like the layout (could be better) and the (low) number of job postings...Not to mention the application process (i.e., you cannot just sign up--rather, you must wait to be approved). But overall, the the app itself has always, consistently, run very smoothly for me.
I used to like this app and company and then I mistakenly said I would rather log in to one site without Gigspot and now I can't switch it back!! Apparently it's a permanent thing which is too bad. The concept of this idea is GREAT to have so many mystery shopping companies in one spot but sometimes you HAVE to log into the other sites to get documents and such that you can't do from Gigspot so if you have to do that ever at all, your account gets deleted and you can't go back. So after awhile, if you decide to do new stores, this app/site is useless. Would be very interested in using it again if there was a way to switch back and forth and/or all the documents and such were on the site or I could actually even get back into the system which apparently isn't possible. Too bad!
Unable to sign up through the app because it was zoomed in and I couldn't zoom out. I managed to sign up through the website instead. Can't use the app though with everything still zoomed in. I Look forward to the issue getting fixed so I could give this a try
Would be a decent way to earn a little extra money IF you could ever get anyone with the various businesses to answer the phone or emails when you need help. And the software we HAVE to use to record the phone shops is nowhere to be found. They tell you you need it but I have yet to find a link for it ANYWHERE!
I loved the app at first, but their new policy of forcing us to either sign into the app or sign into the site is idiotic and redundant. If you have a job for a company that forces you to log into their site for either training or because the app IS NOT WORKING RIGHT, you suddenly lose your ability to use the app forever and the access to all those other companies, especially if you haven't selected a job from them yet and do not have their sites. This is a poorly implemented move that was not thought out at all and screws the users over big time. The fact that there is no forewarning whatsoever until you run up against this issue is the worst part. It really screams 'screw you we don't care about you'. I'm sure this company gets plenty of new users all the time, but if they lose each one to this stupidity then where are they going to be? What is the point of an app if you can't use it?
Great idea. But when you sign up they are suppose to send you an email so you can activate your account. But you never get an email and so therefore you can not log in. Please fix that!
The app often freezes up and will not let me continue hitting any links. The app is very user-friendly but it seems difficult to actually assign myself or apply to any jobs.
it sent me an email to confirm it it kept taking me back to the signup part they send u emails late to verify the account and its steady taking me back to the main signup screen
I have used this to get shops and complete them on site. Both features work very well.
Ok so I'm changing my earlier negative review. This app seems to be working out nicely and honestly may end up being the best one out there for me. I've downloaded several secret shopper apps and Merchandising apps. I like this one the best so far, mostly because it's simple to use and has lots of jobs in my area. Most of the companies represented on the app pay through PayPal as well. Which is great for me because I do not have a bank account. There's also more jobs available on this app than on any of the other apps that I downloaded. The jobs have very detailed and easy-to-follow directions. Just waiting to be approved and paid. So far I really like this app, but if that changes I'll change my review.
Freezes and spins... Certain companies on Gig s collective site are unreachable through the site to report.... Needs an overhaul...
I'm actually losing money because it stops working, won't open, and connectivity issues.
Tried creating an account with two different emails, verified both, and the login said that my information was I valid....for both emails used.
Would live to explore app but the link via the activation email just takes me back to the sign up screen. I can't get the membership activated.
Beware: some sites who use this app can make you choose between the app or the shop website. If you go to the shop site, your gigspot account is permanently deleted.
$12 for a shop not worth answering more than 10 questions, 30 min driving which equals 6$ gas, really left with no profit. Uninstalled.
Won't finish creating an account after email is confirmed
I tried to sign up yesterday and it keeps asking me about the postal code what is that come on you guys I want to make money
I really wish there was a place to see what our shopper ratings are past and present.
Went to sign up, verified account and it redirects me to create an account not to the log in and I can't log in.
Can't create an account
I like this App for the money making opportunities
It keeps saying my login info isn't correct but it is. Plus when I try to reset it, I never get the email to do so. If this gets fixed I will gladly rate better! Thank you
Can't complete my profile on a phone (web or app). Scrolling doesn't work. Can't get to section to enter my address. I can only imagine how much money this company is losing by launching with a broken website. As a professional developer, I would by fired for releasing a website or app like this. Buy a bunch of phones and test your stuff before launching it. Completely unacceptable.
Just like I said, I like the app. It's easy to use and occasionally, they have some good shops. I only wish they had more than just a few to choose from. Add more and this would easily be a 5.
I am tying to apply Joe a job but everytime I try to add my PayPal email it says error saving profile. Would like to use this app but I can't because of this error
Will you be getting any UK partners?
BAM!!! YOUR CAKE HAS SPRINKLEZ
This app does not provide the user with the same access to shops that the legacy websites offer. It also asking for information that each company already has on file. The app should not have been released with this many issues.
Wonderful
I love how I can look for and apply for shops from multiple companies in one spot even if I haven't registered with them yet.
It says you have to be invited in order to use the app but doesnt tell you how to make that happen. Should say that in the description
This is a true mystery shopping app, rather than the less rigid, more whimsical "gig" based apps that are out there. If you have experience mystery shopping, or are an exceptionally organized person with a serious interest in entering the mystery shopping field, this app is for your. If your looking to pop in to a gas station, snap a pic and get paid for it, be forewarned, these gigs are much more involved.
App redirects to sign-up after email activation and won't log in "wrong email or pswd" no it was all right I checked. Wasted my time and annoying
Just like the others. The link to verify email just runs u right back to creating an account gave up after 4 times. Re write ur code. If this many people r having an issue its u not us
App stopped opening for the 3rd time total waste of space on my phone uninstalled it
After accepting shops the app won't load them in my jobs section.
Keeps saying my email/password are invalid.
I signed up and it did not let me sign in I tried to email my password just in case I was wrong and I never received an email

As a whole gigspot is a good idea. However, I HATE not being able to login to certain sites (such as faith interactions) because I belong to gigspot. Especially when I'm Told to login to that particular site. Its more than a little frustrating. Responding to gigspot's comment: It does not simplify things. It makes things harder because now, I can no longer login to websites like faith interactions. I Have to login to gigspot and half the time, what I was wanting to look for on the regular site is not on gigspot's website.
