This has been the best survey app I've ever used, it's easy to understand and works very well. I have made $120 worth of gift cards this year, and that is with not even using the app daily. I usually redeem my points for Amazon gift cards and just apply it to whatever I am purchasing, like food, pet items, clothing, or gifts. The surveys are relevant and don't take too much time to complete. You can also enter contests for many different types of prizes, like various gift cards, extra points
Reviews for Field Agent
← Back to Field AgentThis is one of the most inconsistent apps for payouts I have ever used. I cashed out at 10:30 am Friday, May 3, 2022. Over 24 hours and it still has not been processed by the app. I'm guessing field agent will not process this payout that was done early on Friday until sometime on Monday whenever they feel like it. Of course you can't call anybody to ask or actually get any help with anything at all in real time. They get paid on time I'm sure.
I'll tell you this much...Get this app for the audits. The audits are very easy to do, only takes 10-20 mins and you'll within a few hours get the money that's promised. Payout is very quick and easy as well. The other jobs are not so good due to the UPC thing. I always find the item they describe, but not the exact UPC, so it basically doesn't matter. Audits though are *chef's kiss*
I am deleting this app. It's such a waste of time. It seems like a good idea with tons of offers but I've tried maybe 15 offers and only received 5 dollars total. Usually what happens is that I'll find the exact item, down to the ounces, brand, and variety- and the UPC is one digit off. Quite frankly it's not worth my time or gas money anymore. I could spend the 20 minutes doing food delivery or something with actual pay.
Jobs are not simple, it takes a lot of time to search for items and more often than not, they are not there. Standing in a store taking 8 pictures of an item looks sketchy, and a manager did come and ask what i was doing. The field agents take on a lot of risk, time, gas money, for a few bucks. Then jobs can be denied as you took the pick wrong or they even make a mistake. So it is very hard work for far less than minimum wage.
The iSpy section should be renamed to wild goose chase. There is no way to notify them that you searched every item and that either the item they're looking for is not there or the UPC is incorrect. I went to a gas station and carefully went through every item with the description listed and none of them were there. Waste of time waste of gas waste of money. But I just don't get any credit at all like the item was not found but the item is not there.
I wish I could give no stars. I've been to THREE separate supermarkets and a 7-Eleven. Each time I went I have found atleast half of the items I accepted a job for. However, every single item I found did not match the UPC that I was given on the app but matched the description of what the item was supposed to be. This is pretty much a scam. This would be awesome if it worked but unfortunately it doesn't and I am EXTREMELY disappointed. Such a qaste of my time.
This app used to be great. I completed multiple jobs per week, and was usually paid within a couple days. Then they changed the app and ruined it. The last time I was actually able to complete a job and cash out was nearly a year ago. There are rarely any jobs (other than the bogus "ticket" jobs for the nonexistent drawing), and when there are, they're either so far away that it would cost more in gas than they pay, or so needlessly complicated and convoluted that you get mad and cancel them.
Waste of time and lousy technology. 99% of the jobs require you to travel to the actual store and spend time there, yet they only pay between $3-$5. You will spend more in gas getting there. The technology sucks too - it doesn't even have notifications. If it notified you when you were already in a store that had a gig available. It would be a decent app. For instance - if you were already shopping at Walmart and you got a notification that said something like, "There's a job available in the store you're in, right now. Click here for the info". Pay more and improve your technology, otherwise it's a complete waste of time.
Can't cash out!! In order to cash out, they ask to verify your account with Plaid. I put in my info, was able to see the last 4 digits of my account and the available balance. Then I only needed to put in the Field Agent code. I rec'd an error message about not connecting so I started the process over and I still rec'd same error message. If I receive my money, I will be happy to add more stars to this review.
Takes some getting used to... The support staff are really helpful. I enjoy the well paying jobs, but one must follow instructions precisely. Don't like that there are so many restrictions on how to purchase somethings as you may end up spending more than jobs pay. The audits are nice, scavenger hunts nearly impossible, secret shopping is fun, products are generally good. You can't make a living at this, but it's nice trying.
I have been using this app for one week and have already made $59. I did one mission that was a mystery shop, and 3 that provided free products in exchange for my review. However, some of payments for the jobs are laughably low. I think this is a good app to check if you are already going to a store. Things I don't like though- The time is too limited, and a significant number of the missions are unpaid or $3.50 for a mystery shop interaction. Missions also disappear very quickly.
I thought I would try out a new "gig" type app but this is difficult. You have to be super fast or things disappear. You are at a store and go to look for something (because you must find it first and then accept, otherwise you get points deducted) and the order is gone, which wastes time. The item description is horrible and there's no picture or anything, just a portion of the UPC code. The app would be helpful if you had the full name of the product or a picture but nope. Uninstalled.
HUGE waste of time!! If you enjoy running in circles (so-to-speak) and not getting anything done except spending your own time and gas then you'll enjoy this app. They don't put the full 12 digit UPC, so you have to do extra searching and a lot of times it's for items that are not even available. this app is getting uninstalled as soon as I finish this review. Scavenger hunts sounds like fun, but it's helpful to find something every once in awhile - even once!
This app is one of the best paying apps to do super easy jobs when you're out & about. I've been using it for a few months now when jobs are posted that are where I'm already going or not very far at all from where I am. I've so far made about $130! Cash out is simple, you can cash out your money straight to your bank account, pay pal, etc. It usually takes one day to get transferred. The only downside is I kind of wish you could choose the amount to cash out, rather than the whole balance.
I used this app successfully in 2019-2020, and I thought to give it another try in Sept 2025. There seems to be plenty of tasks in my area but the pay has decreased. The app repeatedly prompted me to log in, despite the fact that I was already logged in. The photos I took for my reserved job were all deemed as blurry by the app, and I couldn't retake them because the app kept telling me I needed just one photo for the job. There are simply better gigs out there, given the amount of tech issues.
Haven't been able to use it lately due to a location glitch. Otherwise I'd give it an excellent rating. Not just me either, my cousin is experiencing the same. Please fix. The change earned from this app is perfect for when I'm in a pinch. They pay you fairly quickly and it's usually just enough to buy a pack of smokes, a beer and some gas in the tank,,, depending on how many jobs I am able to do before they go into another agents pocket. 4 stars because it's not working right now
Waste of Time. You get raffle tickets for surveys. The items are never in store, and there's no way to let others know not to waste their time looking for something that doesn't exist. The Eye Spy is usually a list of items that have the wrong UPC. The audits are not worth finding 30 items for one penny per picture. Sometimes the real estate photo thing is real, but they are rarely close enough or easy enough to find to warrant the effort. It needs a "times attempted" stat to help users.
I like this app when I can actually use it. 90% of the time I get a message that the job is already taken. I spent a significant amount of time on a job that was asking to take pictures of certain displays, all of which were not in the store so I followed the directions and took alternate photos, just for them to deny me and try claiming that an other person found the displays. It has been over a month and the job is STILL listed. Apparently NO ONE can complete it!!!!!!!
There's been an issue with available jobs in the app this week. There were tons of multi-display store walks, & I claimed 2. I planned on claiming more once I finished the 2 locations, but now it shows no available jobs. Every time I clear cache, force close the app, & it shows a quick pop-up about an error with refreshing the list. I tried refreshing, & that didn't work either. This is happening while connected to wifi. Please fix it. Other than that, I'm getting more work this year, though.
