RE: CrowdFlower

[clickers]

What you think about CrowdFlower? I think it's okay. Some of the tasks are tricky, some you don't get paid. My overall opinion they could be better in terms of customer support.

I've always been paid and customer support has usually gotten back to me within a 48 hours usually with back credit and a bonus.

never really used it alot there are so many other things to make cash on i never get to it.

I've only recently began using Crowdflower seriously.   I'm enjoying it and find the tasks I've done fun.  Haven't ventured into many of them after reading the instructions but I hope to get better and do more.   Another way to earn some cash.

Crowdflower seems so complicated to me.   I would love to figure it out, because it seems like it would be a lot of fun, once you get into it. I  never seem to have the extra time to explore it!

I just started using CrowdFlower. I'm really enjoying it so far, although I get the sense I'll be grinding along for a while until I level up and can access the higher-paying and more complicated tasks. My favourite task so far has been spellchecking - I found that one really fun!

Crowdflower tasks some can be tricky if you don't understand the wording or what they are asking you to do. Others are easy you just need to read the instructions carefully and if you don't understand the language look up the words being said then apply that to whats being asked to do

havent tried it in a long time, but having some time on my hands thought i'd give it another try.  it's not allowing me to do any tasks.  says i dont have permission.  so do i just keep checking it every day?

I normally like Crowdflower, although many of the tasks are too long and drawn out for me to bother with.  I pick and choose especially with the surveys.  They usually pay more cents, and are pretty easy to complete.  Today I need to vent.  I found a Crowdflower survey that was interesting and relevant.  The task went into an explanation about taking your time and answering your questions thoughtfully.  I did just that for about 25 minutes and received my confirmation code.  When I typed in the code, it said I had timed out!  I never read anything about a time limit, so was very disappointed with the outcome.  Next...

Not fooling with it anymore. it takes too much time and it never likes my answers anyway.

Happy Ending!  It appears that my post above has a happy ending after all.  After venting my frustration, I decided to see if I could retake the survey and try to complete it faster.  (I'm in "never give up" mode), trying to get enough to cash out for September.  When I clicked on the link for the survey, I was greeted with my completion code a second time, the same code as the first time.  When I typed in the code, I was given my credit.  Way to go Crowdflower!!!  I guess my grandmother's favorite saying is a good rule to live by.  "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!"

I have no issues with Crowdflower and whenever I've sent in a support ticket, they've always responded in a timely manner and I get my credit. The tasks I usually do are surveys because I usually qualify for those.

[BlackSheepNY]

I have to agree with ladavia89.  Crowdflower's Customer Support normally gets back to me pretty quickly, and if I put in a ticket to them telling them of a problem with a particular task, they usually credit me for the effort.

I agree with you  it was complicated. I started doing it but found I spent way too much time on something and got nothing in return. I gave up.

I just despise the "quiz-mode" based tasks. I notice that there are a LOT of those lately. Grr!
