How Smart App Works

With Smart App, you’ll need to apply to become a member. To apply you’ll answer a short survey about your personal details and your tech habits, including how often you use your smartphone.

Onerous Onboard and faulty App

October 23, 2017 by kris from United States

I tried the smartpanel app several times. I know it was installed because heretofore working apps started failing. I tried contacting support and they presented an arduous onboarding process. This group is also associated with www.sandbox-community.com and www.research-connections.com. Their web sites read as if they are a progressive and together organization but I experienced something quite different. They are arrogant, the type of arrogance that does not believe in feedback. So if this group doesn't click with you, you should not expect that to change.

Damaged

September 24, 2017 by Martha from United States

I downloaded the Smart Panel App. The next thing I knew, I had lost Facetime and Camera apps off my Ipad which meant reinstalling them. I was knocked completely off Google Chrome on my PC. Next thing I noticed was I had lost my program I use to open certain email attachments. It was a mess to figure out exactly what had happened and how to correct each item. Needless to say, this app was deleted, uninstalled and will never be reinstalled again.

Impossible to Change E-mail and Retrieve Rewards

August 11, 2017 by Terese from United States

These people refuse to let anyone change the E-mail address they registered with. Because of this, I am not able to retrieve the money I've earned by having their app on my devices. I tried to E-mail them multiple times asking how I can get my money, since my former E-mail no longer exists and I therefore can't get access to anything they send there from PayPal or Amazon. I keep getting auto-replies that if I am writing from another E-mail than the one I registered with, to resend with a prefix of [New EMail]. I keep doing that and get the same stupid auto-reply!! I am so furious with them. I may try sending a snail mail letter to their New York office, but I wonder if that will do any good. Also, I discovered they changed my phone status to Inactive, though I've had their app installed for months, and are therefore saying I've only earned $10. I may just delete their app and forget the whole thing. So disappointing to have promises of earning each month and then have no way to retrieve it.

They killed my phone then wouldn't help me

August 4, 2017 by Nicole from United States

I joined under the idea I was going to be paid to have the app on my phone. The app suddenly updated and started something new every time my phone turned on which drained my battery terribly. I put up with it. However, when I went to withdrawal the $100 I had accumulated, neither PayPal or Amazon worked. I emailed the company THREE times trying to figure out what's going on. I finally was sick of an app draining my phone battery for no reason and deleted it. I suddenly get a response to email someone else. I did that, and they FINALLY responded that "I had a change in devices that voided my payment." Yes, because I deleted the phone app after NOBODY would help me with the fact that I couldn't withdrawal the funds! Unless you want your phone to die for no reason and receive no help until they don't actually have to pay you, don't even bother with this.

App Cripples Browsing

July 12, 2017 by Keith from United States

This worked fine for a few years but the latest PC app update prevented me from accessing too many sites and slowed browsing down since it forces your PC to use a proxy server. Used to be able to disable that but latest software will automatically switch it back. Not worth the trouble, especially since it prevented me from completing surveys from other panels.
