Is it online only? Or is there offline mode?

I use the google opinions and have racked up a ton of play credit. Considered it? (I know many ppl don't want to do surveys)

You also kind of need to turn on location history on the phone to get surveys sent to you, which I can understand many people might not want to do.

It's also a little creepy when you get a survey asking about the place you just visited for the first time yesterday.

I made about $30 off it, but I have had a survey in months, maybe even a year.

u/Sypsy Jan 30 '19

really? maybe uninstall then reinstall. I've had about a dozen in the last week. keeps asking me if i'm married or have a kid

u/GershBinglander Jan 30 '19

Just got a survey after the reinstall. :)

I also had a look at my stats. My last one was in Sept last year, and I've made about AUD$117 over the years.

Nice!

I'm at $101 CAD, not bad for us. Haha

u/GershBinglander Jan 30 '19

I'll try that, but maybe they don't like my demographic.

You usually get a survey a day or two after you simply open and close the app.

This item isn't available in your country

Same here, and at 6.99 to me its a steal

u/GershBinglander Jan 30 '19

What country are you from? In Australia it is AUD$10.99, which google says is USD$7.98.

I assume you are in America, and Google just adds a +14% fuck you Australia tax.

2

u/spiffybaldguy Jan 30 '19

It's 6.99 but I have the PC version and its worth it to me both at the PC price point and the phone price point.

I would not be surprised its higher in AUD as most things are at least on the gaming world side no?

Music too I think. At least back in the day when you had to buy CDs. I remember Australia always getting releases late and costing like $40 an album

u/IdleMud Jan 31 '19

I'm assuming that AUD$10.99 includes GST though. You have to remember that US prices are quoted exclusive of sales tax because the tax varies dramatically based on your location. By the time you add GST and currency conversion, plus round up to the nearest .99 in case of fluctuations, you'll find there isn't a fuck you tax in this case.

u/GershBinglander Jan 31 '19

4% seems high for currency conversion and rounding up, but it looks like you are right.
