dscout for Android
Cool concept but impossible to use without the app crashing. Most of the time I can't submit entries.
Great idea when it works. It take several hours to submit my answers.
While I have not been selected for everything I've applied to, I have been selected for several. The initial applications surveys are usually brief. If your (honest) answers align with the project needs, you get selected (they state how many people get picked). The payouts are via PayPal and typically occur a week or two after completion of the project. It's absolutely worth signing up. My best advice is be honest in your answers and profile. If a survey doesn't apply to you, say so. I see new surveys pop up a couple times a day and in a couple months have completed around 10 already. It's always been worth the work required to complete missions.
1 star, was paid for a survey $100 via paypal...only to have payment reversed a few days later and have paypal charge me a fee for this. Unacceptable, app may likely be a scam. Will change review when remedied
Awesome
Hi! May i know how can i receive notification if there's opportunity? Its been weeks already but i haven't got other opportunities already and i already updated my info but no avail. I really wanted to try another challenges pls.
I love the missions however this app is CONSTANTLY freezing!!!!! Makes it so difficult to complete missions!!!
Great survey app. I make quite a bit of money on here for my opinions, easy as you like. 2 stars because there is no back button on surveys. So often I get halfway through an application, click the wrong thing, and can't go back and fix it. I just quit the applications halfway through. I'd do so many more surveys if there was a back button, it drives me bonkers!
Yes, it's a great way to make money...if you get passed the screen freezes and losing all your entries and having to start over. This has been going on for yrs! Not sure why dscout tech's have not been able to correct these issues after all this time. Would love to participate more but it's just too frustrating and when you have to redo your work several times, the $ is no longer is worth my time.
It's been a month now l keep fill up some survey but l think l did not qualify not make money. No mission
WARNING! I completed all missions and was informed to receive a reward the week after. Then i received an email telling me to claim my reward using the virtual card. They don't support other money transaction, you must sign up for entropay. In order to get your money you must top up your card. Now this made me pause for a bit. And upon reading the reviews, it collects charges in your card, others complain about their card being blocked and requested to submit lots of documents and IDs. Let's just say the reward was real, but I think it's not worth the hassle when you get your card blocked because of the 3rd party transaction. How come they don't accept other kind of money transfer? While asking about the rewards, my main contact told me that she is not responsible about the compensation.????????????
I've just started using it, so I cannot comment on qualifying for surveys, but I do find the app a bit combersome to navigate. I would like to see a back button in the survey application and whether or not I have a mission is a bit confusing- my profile says one, but home page says none???
This is an amazing app,at first getting paid just for doing all these easy missions seemed too good to be true,but it is and the missions are really enjoyable.Im in South Africa, this is the greatest app I've seen to date.
I really love this app. A great way for me to make extra money for my family as a sahm with the simple missions I can do on my own time.
Awesome
It is a good survey app and I've made quite a bit but it's really buggy and crashes a lot. Also, the gestures to move between the applied and accepted page don't really work.
Super easy to use and I got my first mission with a couple days!
I had to edit my original review, the android app for dscout needs serious improvements. It crashes frequently, takes up to a minute to load when opened, looses my video entries for missions, randomly loses my profile photo, and will jump between opportunities and missions when I scroll down (that should only happen with a side swipe). I've used the apple app for dscout, it's flawless. Besides the app functionality on android, the surveys and payouts are great.
I love dscout and the missions I've done for them gave been fun and interesting, but lately the app has been awful. The app crashes all the time, and takes a long time to load new missions. I've had four videos "uploading" for 10 hours, and more than one video was lost when the app crashed during the uploading, forcing me to redo them. Very frustrating experience.
This app has to be one of the worst coded apps I have ever used. It is so slow to load and do any missions that I just give up sometimes. They needed to fix it like yesterday as it has been this way ever since it came out on Android and have never had another app run this poorly.
Would be good if there were ever any missions available I've participated in a single study in 6 months!! Other research platforms perform way better and I've made in excess of $6k with those .. pathetic app .. very disappointing
I really do love this app, and I've been using it for quite some time now. However, since I started using it on my Galaxy S8, it's been extremely buggy. It will completely freeze upon launch of the app and won't respond to any input for nearly 30 seconds at times. It also crashes every time I try to submit a video after recording it in the app, so I'm forced to use the phone's native camera app and upload it that way. Great app and service, but really disappointed with the performance as of late.
The best survey site around. The absolute worst app around. If you can't fix this app, maybe you should stop mobile surveys. No, it's not my phone, two different phones and 95% of the time the app hangs.
Good idea, terrible execution. App is slow and buggy. The main page of different missions available takes a ridiculously long time to load. Viewing a mission and going back to the main page causes another long load time. I've used the app long enough to know how to get the video upload to work on the first try, otherwise it will crash on any following retry. What happened to the social missions? I haven't seen one of those in a long time, even though they're a highlight feature in the app tutorial. I've participated in over a dozen missions and have enjoyed the payout. But, using the app leaves a bad taste in the mouth. PLEASE MAKE THE APP FASTER!
It used to be pretty good, but now the Android version is incredibly slow and freezes up constantly. The concept is good, but they need to fix the Android app - otherwise they're only going to get iPhone participants in their research.
I've waited a awhile to write a review on this app just simply to give it a chance and see what opportunities become available and the first couple time I entered a survey I wasn't chosen and I figured I'm just getting started and I'll see what happens. But as of today I have enter over 15 different survey's and havnt been chosen for one! I get alerts for new survey's and do then as soon as I get a notification, still nothing and i very aware that i qualify or i would of entered ....i feel to receive my input on it and use my information towards the survey and still don't get paid for it is very upsetting! It's a waste of time and space on my phone, I will my uninstalling and finding another survey app that actually pays!
Too many bugs and problems... Reach me out I am an Android developer I can help you with better app.
For the past several months, the app has been very buggy on my device. The app freezes up every time I open it and sometimes I need to apply multiple times for my mission application to finally go through. It's been very frustrating.
I give the app 2 stars because it crashes often. So much that half the time I don't bother looking at potential opportunities. I have been a scout for about a year and have participated in several campaigns. But it's a hassle even if you get chosen. For example, last week I was invited to participate in a mission. It took over an hour to get the app to work properly so I could view and accept the mission. I get daily notifications and I am never able to get the app to open without problems. As someone else said, loading videos takes entirely too long. I am wondering why the developer has not responded to the concerns. If the app keeps crashing, I am not going to bother applying for more missions. Which is a shame because I have made a decent amount of money for easy, fun, missions but come on. The headaches involved in getting the app to work is not worth the pay off.
The app is awful. I like the missions and the compensation, but the app is slow and makes it difficult to accomplish anything. Fix it please!!
I kept on filling out surveys after surveys but never got anything in return. They'll take your videos and photos in the surveys but won't give you anything in return. So they're basically getting for free your information and thoughts on all the products.
The opportunities load very slowly and it makes the app difficult to use to the point that I don't use it
Won't let me log in. Says password incorrect however same password logs me in ok on my Web browser. Requested password reset link but never received.
I have been an active dscouter since the apps inception participating in several missions and recruiting friends / family. It is great easy side income
Seems spammy and never paid out.
Cool, inventive way of checking out new products. Love the mission creative ideas. And allowing your thoughts to be heard.
I was skeptical at first, but have enjoyed my missions.
So easy to use for survey studies :) thank you so much for this great company
Keeps freezing

I have made almost $200 this year with this app. Not bad. Totally worth submitting the application for missions, which doesn't take much time.
