They used to be really good. used for over 2 years now. But now so many of their surveys are breaking at the end by not redirecting so not giving you your survey reward. sometimes after spending 20mins plus on it. unlike other survey apps, curious cat wont email the company and ask about the error and pay you if it was a genuine error. it strikes me as odd its pretty much the only survey app that doesn’t do this. The customer service is also extremely poor. i’ve now deleted the app. it just wastes your time these days. there is a facebook group about all the issues curious cat has.

So tired of nearly completing surveys (upto 90% sometimes) which has taken more than half an hour..then all of a sudden the screen freezes, or I’m redirected. This means i get no credits for survey.

Curious Cat used to be good.
They used to pay out 1 pawoint (1 pence) every time you started a survey.
So if the survey died at the start, you would still get an incentive.
Then they changed it so you would only get the 1 pawoint if you were screened out.
Now you ONLY get pawoints if you complete a survey.
And now!!! Even worse, they are full of scam surveys.
You fill out one survey, then it leads you to another survey which they KNOW you are not eligible for (looking for C level managers (CEO, CFO, CRO etc.) in a large company.
Good luck finding any C level managers who are on CuriousCat!), and screen you out.
So you complete a survey for free, and do not get any incentive.
Also, the customer “help” is useless.
They flat our refuse to compensate you if a survey crashes at the end.
I have had this happen – brings me to a “Thanks” screen, then nothing happens – it doesn’t lead me back to CuriousCat and doesn’t credit me the points.
The only redeeming factor is the very low payout threshold.
I don’t trust Curious Cat any more, I used to wait until I had around 1,000 pawoints before cashing out, but now I cash out as soon as I can… I kind of expect one day that they will suddenly shut down and everyone will lose their pawoints.

I agree you have made a few good points regarding Curious cat. I searched the web and found another app called POLL PAY which is available from google play that will give you surveys to complete every day, minimum payout and usually instant

Normally this is a good app and will respond back to people who have issues. I’d try to email them again to find out why your account is locked or you can no longer use the app. The major reasons apps will block your account is because you use a VPN or Proxy service to access the app. They don’t allow this type of service and want people to use their own IP address. This is very important.

I’m sorry to hear about this. According to the other people who work on this app, they are still being paid. I will keep an eye on this app and see if anything changes. If this app stops paying a few other people, I’ll change the status of this app to a non-paying app and stop recommending it to people to use.
