Swagbucks Watch (TV) for Android
Does that mean you stuff the app full of feature length ads & then inform me that the app can't reach the server to actually start earning SB's? The app is now unusable, unless you want to make Swagbucks money by watching endless ads.
Some days the app runs smoothly and you get your points without much fuss. Other days there are more ads than TV commercials and you have to babysit it constantly clicking the red x. When it works right, it's a great way to build up your swagbucks.
Only 3 starts one due to the huge number of ads and 2 because of how slow the loading is sometimes but maybe with a new update I'll give more stars if some of the ads are gone and a few others kinks are worked out..Overall swagbucks pretty easy to earn gift cards etc
I love this app! I like the fact that I can earn points by watching videos. But with this new update there are way too many ads in between each video. I have to watch 3 to 4 ads before I get to the video. If they can lessen the amount of ads I'll happily give it a higher rating.
Plays vids then freezes, or continuous circles until it times out and the phone goes to sleep Why? It took me 8 hours one day to collect 4 points. It works great when it works, but i havent got time to baby sit it all the time.
App has a lot of long ads in between videos, and some amounts of videos you have to watch to earn are long. Sometimes 8 Vida, sometimes 22. Sometimes it cuts me off way early and it's supposed to be unlimited. However a good way to earn extra points. Hopefully they can fix it!
Goes black a lot requiring that I go to a different app for a few minutes and come back again to view more. Also 15 Or 16 videos to earn 2sb is way too many. 5 or 6 is enough. Not hardly worth the effort even on 2xsb days. Also way too many ads between videos.
Does what it says on the tin. Allows you to watch swagbucks videos on the go to earn sb. The quality can vary and apart from movie trailers there isn't a lot of great choice for me personally. But it's an easy way to earn a few more sb daily.
Just cashed out my first £5 but took forever to make it. Ads between videos are too much considering how many we need to watch just for 2sb. Be better if we gained more swazbucks for having to watch two ads before viewing actual video cos videos alone can be lengthy without added frustration of more ads being added between each one which has only recently happened when I updated the app. Wish I hadn't bothered now
I do Swagbucks watch on my phone and on my computer during the work day to earn a little extra. I generally get $10-$20 per month worth of gift cards for almost no effort.
Okay at first I thought the commercials weren't that bad but now I'm watching more commercials then videos and it's annoying. I might even give it one star and delete soon.
Go Go swag bucks i have been swag bucking for a long time i never have any problems with them. they have a great customer service. when i earn my swag bucks they reward me with what i requested. some days are slow and my app drags and some days are cool.some times i go to the swag bucks site and swag through it.Happy New Years swag bucks thanks for being on point. hope for 2017 i will get to earn even more swags.
Used to love using it since it was easy to earn SB anywhere. Then the entire system updated with 10SB limit on mobile. what's the point? Now I just can't open the app at all, just saying can't connect. Swagbucks is literally getting worse overall. Less and less survey available. Suggest people go find new website for money instead of wasting time here.
I understand that Swagbucks makes its money through advertising for their sponsors. However, the number of ads has become ridiculous. I have to watch 3-4 ads, just to get the opportunity to watch an ad for a movie. It takes about an hour to get to the daily limit of videos now. It is overkill, and its completely disgraceful.
What the Hell??? I signed up online using my Facebook account, but I can't sign in to the app using Facebook? So all those points I've earned were for nothing? Stick it where the sun don't shine... Uninstalling immediately...
Every update they release makes it worse. Now you have to watch a minute of ads before every video and it usually stops working on the third video or so. It's the same for all SB video apps
Lately lots of interrupted service. Black screen says rotate device. Which I don't understand since have auto rotate and video before played. Worked much better when first installed.
It freezes a bit too often, but is okay when it works. I think it is a little better than 3 stars, but under 4. However I can't give partial stars so I went with the closest option. Will update review if app is improved.
This app can be good (earn $) but very frustrating as it will hang up/get stalled or say that it can't connect to the internet even though I have full bars. It will sometimes even skip playing movie previews and go straight to the next commercial without giving me any points. If I wasn't so financially strapped I'd forget this altogether.
It will literally take me 50 days and an average of 30 min a day to earn 5.00. Soooo yeah, free money is free money but it takes a very long time. The videos are interesting tho.
The ads are getting out of hand. I have to watch two to three ads to finally be able to see the videos, why?
Ability to only earn 10 Swagbucks is disappointing. I live in a rural area, so my internet is super slow at times. My phone will work fine on it, but my computer won't. The mobile limit means MUCH less time on Swagbucks.
Just hit play and let the trails play. I am a movie junkie so this is perfect for me and how I pick what movies I will be seeing next. It does freeze or give error message but overall great.
Used to love this app. Put my favourites list together and hit play and I got my 10SB + bonus. I updated my app yesterday and hate it. Playing 4-5 ads then not taking me to my video. My favourites list doesn't work and impossible to get my points. Support is great and payment is consistant. Please fix the app or I will have to uninstall. Previously it would have been 4-5 star now useless. My review will change when these issues are resolved.
Again a bug fix update, again it makes the app worse and less functional. How and why do you fail at this so much? (Extra, you managed to get the app to demand a rating from me, yet you made it only worthy of negative critique)
Keeps stalling so it takes forever to hit the daily max and has to play the ads three times in a row between each trailer. Best used while sleeping.
"What's New Bug fixes and performance improvements. Requires Android 4.1 and up" Swagbucks "LIES", saying only "Jelly Bean" OS is supported. "KitKat is NOT supported any longer. They don't care if you can't get it to work. Update is horrible. No longer works on tablets (forcing users out), took several attempts to get it to load on the smartphone. The videos lock up, program freezes and then the "UNAUTHORIZED" user pops up and forces you out. Support is horrible. I would recommend others to find another earning site as this on e is only lining their pockets now. SWAGBUCKS BANS you from Facebook site when you complain about issues. Too many ads in between that aren't even there. Uses LOADS of bandwidth for small % of pennies. Don't bother to complain on FACEBOOK, they like to ban you.
Insane permissions. Wants ability to do tons of things it had no need to. Huge battery hog. Crashes/freezes constantly. Runs at startup for no reason. Frequently causes network issues.
This is so easy to use. Im a bit bummed that you can only earn a certain amount of SB (a very low amount btw). Other than that, i love this app!
They have made it more difficult to get points, and make it harder to get the goal points to achieve the goal for bonus points. And if you start to make what they consider to much then, they require you to watch more videos for the same points. I remember when you could watch videos on the mobile app and get 50 points a day. Then it became 35, and some malfunction made it impossible to get points for almost a year I think. Now you are lucky to get more than 10 points on mob.vids. Any worse 2 or 1 starrating
Ad filled slow unusable flaming pile of garbage all for a whopping 10 cents a day if you have the patience and data to spend 2 hours to watch enough videos to get the 10 cents.
This app fails to load video on almost every try. I've tried letting it run to see if it corrects itself but it doesn't. It leaves a black screen that won't turn off so it burns through the battery. Buggy. Buggy. Buggy
New upgrades have made this app almost useless. Plays ads on end, but not paying videos. Do not waste your time with this app until they get it running properly.
Way too many ads now. You have to watch at least two before and in between every video. I'm deleting it until this is fixed
Usually I am able to get a few SBs here but there is always a lag in loading the videos. Sometimes it will replay an Ad twice before moving on to the next one. However it is pretty easy to use and navigate, which is always good.
I'm happy this app is FINALLY available for tablets but it keeps freezing and I routinely have to restart the app altogether. I hope they fix this bug so I can give the app a 5
I like how I can just turn on the videos and forget about it. It's SUPER easy to use. I just wish that the maximum SB you can get daily can be higher than 10. Other than this, it's really good!
This is one of two (2) apps by Prodege for Swagbucks. Over one year the amount of SB earned through this app alone decreased from 50 per day to 10 SB per day (03012016). Don't bother wasting your time with this company any longer. 03-01-2016
Today i just made 8 bucks after that im not able to get bucks plz help me . When it will be fixed then i will change my review and give you 5 stars.

I've had very few problems with this app. I use it extensively almost every day on a relatively cheap android phone. The videos are mostly interesting and will continue successively, usually without user intervention, earning Swagbucks for every 6 videos up to a max of 10 SBs, after which you are eligible for a bonus if you keep watching. All in all, it's an easy way to earn a few extra SBs which I think are worth it.
