Scavenger hoax – Field Agent Review

First let me say that I've made 15$ so far so this isn't a total scam. It took about 3 days after I "cashed out" to hit my paypal account and there is no cash out minimum. Now for the downside. This app is separated into a few different parts. When you go on "audit" missions it's a fairly easy thing to find and you make about 3$ but those aren't as common as the different variations of "scavenger hunts". Which are total crap. I've gone on many of these and a few times there have been up to 8 scavenger hunts in 1 store for 6.50$ a piece so I would hope to find at least one. Hope, never happened. Tonight I found exactly what I was asked to find. A 36 roll cottonelle ultra comfort toilet paper pack. But it has to have the exact UPC number which it didn't. In fact, the UPC never matches up when you find things on scavenger hunt and it's frustrating because you don't even get a fraction of the 6.50$ for looking for it. I think the app should call it "needle in a haystack" rather than scavenger hunt because that's exactly what it is. Basically this app needs to do 3 things. 1) Be more upfront about the unlikeliness of finding things in scavenger hunt so people don't get frustrated and quit using the app. 2) give the option to take a pic of the physical items UPC code when someone finds the product and pay them something, even 50cents. 3) organize scavenger hunts by store name and not type of products. I would rather just look up "target scavenger hunt" than "scavenger hunt non grocery" and skim through stores I never go into. But, if you can snag an "audit" it does give you at least 3$ for a pretty easy task and 2 hours to complete it. Thanks! I hope this is helpful.
