03/01 - Super Sunday!

Afternoon everyone!

 

[HelloHello]

That's a bummer. It's difficult to communicate with the clients on Usertesting, with their design, sometimes.

I've had to focus on the Android tests, because I found out my computer mic wasn't working well. I keep hoping to nab a Usertesting $60 session someday, although I need to get a USB computer headset on the cheap first.

$30 last week with UserTesting. Hope things sort out with your test

I decided to give up on the Android phone tests as pretty much every single time the widget disappears and I can't figure out why or bring it back. I read in Reddit that it's not an uncommon problem. I just find it too frustrating.

What are you using for a computer mic/headset? I've been eyeing a few Logitech $20 cheap basic models to get started (with my budget, next week).

 

[HelloHello]

xlabs anyone? I was out of it Friday but I didn't see any yesterday or so far today.

For the PC tests just my laptop mic. For the phone tests just the iPhone mic and for the Android just the phone mic.

The evaluate one’s were posted two times yesterday.

ah, gotcha. My main desktop computer has no built in mic, and the mic jack seems to be fritzed, so ... USB workaround. Ugh.

Need to check out the reddit Usertesting group.

Does anyone know how long the Craig Fox one is? I qualified for it, and it's been 70 min of bubbles, and no end in sight lol. It says 0.10 for each correct answer, and I have done 200 already, but worried it's not going be finished before the 90 min timer.

Is there an option where it allows you leave the survey and have it recorded/submit? I would have thought they'd give that option for those to leave when they feel fed up.

Nope. There was no link to skip to end to get code, and it took up all the time of its 90 min limit. I submitted it with workerID- It's a great paying hit, if it pays out. There is no link to skip to the end, and will be >$22/hr if it pays out, but he is a limited requester on TV, hehe.
#prayforme

I'm going to go up to 300 sentences rated, since you can run Qualtrics still after submitting hit, and see if it has a rounded number ending lol

Hi there,

Apparently there was a HUGE mistake in the survey. I am SO sorry that you had to deal with this. You should be bonuses such that your compensation will be $6.50 total ($0.40 payment + $6.10 bonus) as an apology for the hassle you had to put up with.

We're so embarrassed and sorry for the headache it caused you.

My best,
Jon


It apparently was supposed to end much earlier haha.

Huge kudos for the 2 min email reply though.

He responded to my email in literally 2 min though, so great communication.
