I downlaoded an app once from a survey but it was not for browsing history. It was a beverage survey and I entered in my own data. was sent a $35 gift card a few weeks later

Yeah, this is what I was talking about.  I have done it more than once.  I got $50 once.  The most I ever got for a survey was $150 but I did not have to download any apps or anything.

There are a select few with an app id do and they are legit. Anything promoting games on phones or diaries of any time usually pay well. Especially the . A month ago i just got done with a drink study which requires a diary app which paid 35

I have attempted a few surveys involving downloading an app, but I feel uncomfortable doing so.  I still remain hopeful that it is only for the purpose intended, but you still have surrendered your personal privacy nonetheless.  I consider the downloading of an app very carefully, preferring not to if I'm suspicious.

Nope,  I do not download anything on my computer or phone or anywhere else, you never know what kind of virus or spyware is in there

I don't trust downloads from any site that I don't know is legit.  You hear so much able people hacking your computer and getting your information now.

I have never downloaded and app for any survey or offer.  This is something that I personally would not consider doing. 

There are so many different types of surveys and offers that do not require any downloading.  Those are the ones that I stick to.

Never downloaded any type of app for surveys.  I always just X out them as I don't want to take the chance of something happening to my laptop or phone even though I have anti virus protection on both.

I would never Download an App for a Website either. I do not want anyone Tacking my browsing History or snooping into my personal Business at all.

I'm leery about those that want you to download a special app. I had a survey that was to pay a couple cents and did it...then it wanted me to download an app for extra $2. It would follow my browsing history for 60 days. I refused, don't trust apps like that. Well, didn't get credit for the pennies, either. I don't think that was fair. The app part was EXTRA, not part of the original survey.

Does anyone trust those download extras?

I try to avoid surveys like those. That wasn't very nice of them to not give you the pennies as well.

I stay away from these.  You never know what kind of viruses are going to come your way.

I am afraid to download anything. I do have some earning apps but have had no trouble with them so far
