I had a task yesterday that wanted me to install inquisit, but I wasn't sure about it and returned it. Is Inquisit bad?
It's generally safe but most people hate it because it hijacks your entire screen and you can't do anything else while you're doing it. Plus people (me included) seem to really hate Implicit Association Tests, which are most often done with Inquisit on Mturk.

there's bad inquisit, and good inquisit.

most inquisit is bad.

don't do an inquisit task without confirming with somebody who's done the task before if it's good or not.

this particular inquisit is not terrible, but not great. but better than most.

if it's against Mturk T&S to login to two or more devices simultaneously, how are you supposed to do HITs on iphones etc without risking an account ban? Not that I own an iPhone, strictly curious....

nope. Their support team told me specifically in an email. I was telling them my old Mac was dying and would there be any problems logging into the account from a new machine. They said no, but don't log in from both at same time because it was against the T&S. I'll try and locate the email when I have some downtime today.
