Forget SavvyConnect

January 1, 2017 by Sondra from United States

I know the SavvyConnect was working and yet they never paid me for it.

Unusable

December 15, 2016 by Meg from United States

This app locked me of of my phone completely. I had to factory reset, resulting in loss of personal photos and many hours worth of artwork. I wouldn't recommend this crap to my worst enemy's dog.

Forced VPN

November 24, 2016 by Andrew from United States

I always was annoyed by the fact that you have to route all your internet activity through their VPN service to get the $5 for your phone and another $5 for the tablet. It was always slower browsing or just simply using the internet on your devices.
They say they offer to pay you if you notice a problem with your phone or using any other app while using Savvy Connect. So I recently sent them 2 problems I noticed. One was with a well known and used app. The other was Google Play itself. It took over 40 seconds to load while it only took 4 seconds to load when not using Savvy Connect.
I found this to be one of the most ridiculous setups for a survey site also. They have no list of what surveys or activities you have done. Also depending apparently on how they feel you get credit for what you have done sometime between 1 to 12 weeks. If you only do their surveys it takes 4 to 12 weeks to get credit. If you have savvy connect it's suppose to be 1 to 6 weeks. With all the time that passes you have no idea what you are getting credit for.
I say make your own decision if you want to try it, but you better have really good patience!

( UPDATE......I have stuck with this Survey site and it has been a little more profitable but you still need patience.)

Excellent in the Past but Now??

October 17, 2016 by Kathy from United States

I have been with Survey Savvy for several years. About 2 years ago they started the SavvyConnect which is an app installed on smartphones, computers, and tablets. I don't have a tablet so I had this installed on my computer and iPhone and was getting $50 every quarter no problem. Then beginning around April-May, they seemed to be trying to keep people from being able to qualify for something cause I haven't gotten a payment since June and I have had this app active and I have notifications active to know when my app is not active on my phone and computer. Beginning in August they changed their payout for the app from quarterly to monthly for $5 per device, but have not paid me. A couple of weeks ago I found out that my app wasn't active on my computer and it took me several days to get a response and when I did discovered that they have issues with Windows 10 and that Microsoft Edge is not compatible with their program. However, after getting a supposed downloadable SavvyConnect file that was more compatible with Windows 10 my computer was active again. But still, no credit to my account for anything from Jun forward although when asked about it was told that anyone that was active would be credited in 6-8 weeks??? Way past that point. I was selected for a project during August where I qualified and got $120 in a matter of a few days -- the quickest ever but the payment came from another company, not SurveySavvy. Maybe they thought I didn't deserve anymore credit??? But that project was outside the SavvyConnect app. Hope this company performs soon. I referred others to this company. Disappointed.

My experience with Savvy Connect

October 16, 2016 by Patricia from United States

So far, I am okay with Savvy Connect. It is very aware of the connection with my laptop. Tonight we had a power outage for 45 minutes. When I got back on my laptop, I got a popup from them asking what was going on and offering help. I like that. I have not gotten any rewards yet (too soon), but supposed to receive $5 a month per device, plus take surveys for cash. Most of the surveys I don't qualify for due to demographics; but that is typical of all the survey sites I am on. A tip I have is to bookmark this and all my survey sites to my bookmark bar on Chrome for easy access.
