DataForce Contribute

Offered bonus to do recordings. Didn't receive bonus as promised. They claimed I didnt meet deadline. Well, I completed 250 by deadline, then mysteriously 2 were rejected. Nothing wrong with them, and I wouldnt have even known they were rejected unless i had went into app to check. So now they could say it wasnt completed in time. That's fishy to me. Without the bonus, the pay rate is not worth the time and effort - if every recording requires 3 seconds of silence before and after, thats at least 10 seconds per task. Times that by eg 250 tasks, add in the upload time and a few retakes, thats a good chunk of time for not enough money.

It’s a shame because I have successfully completed audio tasks and been paid out in the past, about a year ago, no issues. But quality and communication with this company has gone down hill. Just recently, after a few rejected qualification jobs, I did qualify, saw this in the app, and received an email from Vivianne stating the above. Then I get emailed very late updates on the previous job rejections, they remove the full job from my job list, and delete my previous successfully completed qualifier. When asked, Vivianne refused to address why she told me I had qualified and to claim the full job. Guess it was a “mistake”. So I am done with dataforce, deleted my account. Don’t even recommend trying because you won’t get anyone honest or competent here.

The app is okay. It’s pretty slow and there isn’t a lot of options to search for specific categories. Also, this seems like a lot of work/a lot of data being collected for only paying $1 per photo… I saw some reviews that said they didn’t get paid. Information is valuable. I don’t know if I would do this again. I guess we shall see how it goes. It’s a cool idea. The app just needs to have some more user based features to help with organization and accessibility, as well as more transparency on how much information is going to be collected
