Hi, my name is Jack and I’ve been Roamling for just over 3 months now and I have to say that I am addicted! I heard about it from www.studentjob.co.uk who sent me an invite.
I was a bit skeptical at first, as the idea of completing small tasks with my iPhone for money was new to me, but being me, I didn’t pass up this opportunity. So I signed up, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I love the idea of walking around London and finding all sorts of things for the team back at Roamler HQ. I think the best way of describing it would be ‘A scavenger hunt of the digital age.’
Some of the tasks I have done were quite fun, and although I can’t imagine what I must have looked like to passers-by when I was taking a photo of a public toilet there is a sense of accomplishment when that message comes in from the Roamler team with their feedback. They always respond with friendly and personal messages which reassures me that I’m actually conversing with real people as opposed to automated messages. My favourite task to date was ‘Rhyme Time’ when I had to find two items found around the house that rhymed. I of course opted for the conventional shoe and kazoo!
I’m constantly checking my page for new and interesting tasks, and my goal at the moment is to complete the ‘Spot the Fox!’ task. I have tried to get a shot of a fox so many times. I’m so desperate to get that picture that I’m out every Monday night (bin night) walking up and down my road looking for foxes. It sounds sad, but I’m a devoted Roamler and won’t rest till I get that shot!
I love being part of the Roamler community and sharing my opinions and ideas with the team and look forward to future tasks. Keep up the good work!
