Quick process
The process is very fast from applying to test for register. Now I am under review of test gorilla but I had already an opportunity of study.

It makes my day go by i just wish the screen out benefits was always 50cents but it's a great app #imNotA.i #CincinnatiBased
It is reliable and nice.
Contributing to people's research
Overall, very good. There is a variety of surveys and studies and some are incredibly interesting. I'm a retired lecturer so it's a good way of contributing to others' research - and getting payment along the way.
Random Onboarding Retakes
i hat that i have to retake onboarding while i am giving opinions. Tis is a bad user experience

Pretty solid platform for participants
Pretty solid platform for participants. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, making the overall experience smooth. No complaints so far.
I love they pay what they have…
I love they pay what they have promised, but its so hard to find studies its always empty
Easy to use and reasonable pay off
Easy to use on the go or when I’m stationary. The rates are pretty reasonable and it’s very low effort
Restricted account
Restricted account, after being put on hold... for simply temporarily changing addresses and its my main source of income after being evicted and needing to find housing... WTF. God hates the gays I swear.... smh.
Still haven't changed my email to a current VALID one, after multiple requests. Support tickets seem to be based on a void made entirely of a lack of INTEGRIDY.
Shame...! Shame...! Shame...! *rings bell*
Good for some extra cash.
The tasks are usually pretty easy. I've managed to make around $170 the past 3 weeks while working a full-time job with 55 hours a week. I can easily pop on before, or after work. Days off I try to use it more heavily to make some extra cash. Payment is easy; my first payment was in my bank account within an hour of me cashing out. It is very helpful in helping make a little side cash. I imagine it won't pay your bills, but it will sure help supplement. I bought a new pair of work pants and now I'm about to cash out again and buy some hey dudes.
Poor User Support
After only two rejected surveys, Prolific suspended my account. There is no way to get a quick resolution to reinstate it.Surveys are rejected if you read quickly and are able to answer quickly. I also can't cash out what I earned, because they claim I have a PayPal deposit pending, which is completely untrue.
Prolific has been great!
I enjoy the opportunity to earn money with legitimate studies. I also really like that they are able to be tailored to my personal profile and that Prolific is so detailed in building that profile. I do wish that there were more available to complete on mobile devices, and I wish that there was an actual app for my phone though.
I had a great experience because the Prolifica team is so helpfull.
I had a great experience because the company provides all the necessary tools and a highly structured environment to succeed. They do really well with internal organization and maintaining clear, realistic goals. I highly recommend keeping this focus on clarity and teamwork.
problems with ID verification using onfido QR code
The overall experience from onboarding to attaining studies was smooth and the quick approval of submissions are welcoming.
I did have an issue about verifying my identity within 1hour of finishing a study where no matter how many times I scanned the QR code with my iPhone, it would respond with 'We couldn't verify this QR code' even though I changed the OS, incognito mode etc. and had to do the whole onboarding verification again.
