Description

Field Agent is the first app that pays you! We have clients across the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia that need information from places you go every day, like your local supermarket. Our App pays you to report specific pieces of information and return it to them via our iPhone App.

Almost anyone can become an Agent, simply download the App and create an account!

The Field Agent process works like this:
1. One of our Clients logs onto Field Agent and creates a job.
2. Our system prices the job and releases it to Agents in the field.
3. Agents with the app installed are notified of the new job in their area via push or e-mail.
4. The first Agent to accept the job has 2 hours to complete it.
5. Once the information is approved, the agent's account will be credited for that job.
6. Agents may cash out at any time. The funds will be transferred to their PayPal account within 48 hours.
7. The Client has the information they needed and the Agent made a few extra bucks. Mission accomplished!

Job Examples
A common example of one of our jobs is an item price check with a photo. The App will instruct you to go to your local discount store, find a specific product, take a photo of it on the shelf and enter its price.

This type of job is easy to complete, but is very important to companies who need insight on their competition. Never before has information been so accessible at an affordable price, thanks to technology and capable users such as you.

Another simple job example is a survey. Our Clients often need the opinion of consumers just like you. Surveys are distributed in the same method as other jobs, except you can complete the job and make money from any location. Survey jobs are popular, so act fast to reserve them.

Things to know:
Jobs typically pay between $3 and $12 each.

The money you make with Field Agent is real. We do not deal in points or pennies. This is how it works: the money you earn is stored in your Field Agent account until you decide to withdraw it. Withdrawals are handled through any standard PayPal account. You determine when and how much to withdraw on FieldAgent.net and we transfer the money for you.

Except for surveys, jobs are typically dependent on your verifiable GPS location and usually require you to take a picture with your iPhone as confirmation. This helps ensure the accuracy of information and keeps our Clients happy so they come back with more jobs for Agents like you.

What's New in Version 1.92

Agents, thank you for all the feedback! We're listening and we've made several critical updates to improve stability. Here's what's included:

– Photo improvements (smaller file size, faster uploading) to help reduce photo crashes.
– New Barcode Scanning Interface
– Minor bug fixes, thanks for the feedback on these!

As we move forward and seek to stabilize the app, specifically around photo crashes, we will be discontinuing our support of iOS 3. While we understand this will affect some current Agents' ability to do work, this will allow us to focus more on quality and less on finding ways to keep the app working the same way on all devices. At this time, older devices will still work, but will not be able to receive the 1.92 update.

Customer Reviews

Great idea but not so great execution. (4 stars)
I absolutely love the idea for this app! The jobs are often easy, fun, and pay fairly well. The problem is with the process of getting the money earned.

First off, some clients will take their time to approve completed jobs. For instance one job I completed 6 days ago is still waiting approval. On the other hand some jobs will be approved within hours of being completed, so it isn't very consistent.

The second problem is

Little jobs while you shop! (5 stars)
App fixed… Yay!!!
I love Field Agent!

Great, but crashes often! (2 stars)
I have accepted two jobs, yet the app crashed while accepting both times. When I go back to the list, the jobs are gone and are not in my current jobs cue. When it works, it's great, but it has crashed on me far too often to give very positive marks.
