Anyone doing the "Missions" app audits?

I was just wondering what the general opinion of these audits is among the forum shoppers.

If it's the Bee Missions, the app struggles to upload all the time. They pay starts way too low for missions such as the camera tracker might take all month before they increase to even 350-450. The travel bonus points help thought.
I like them. My phone plan makes it so I am only eligible for the stores that have free wifi. So, right now, I can only do the Staples and Target shops. I only turn my points into Starbucks gift cards. The shops are not a lot of money, but they are quick and easy. Plus, the report is done on the spot, no need to do anything later, at home. I pick up a couple when they are near other shops in my route for the day.

Added bonus: The product I purchase at Staples can be used in my usps shops and get reimbursed.
If you are talking about the shops that are a few cents for each price, they are very tedious and it took me a few times to understand the app. I've spent more than 3 hours once only to make about $30. I don't do them anymore. Too much of a headache for too little money.
I like the Missions app. Once you get used to the layout of a store, it gets pretty easy. I usually save them to the end of the day and keep adding on segments until my phone dies. This is my third month doing them, the two I've been paid for were $130 & $150 for a few hours.

using code words like "mission" and "bee" together pretty much identifies the company.....it is the same as outright naming it...it would help if people would just name it instead of trying to be cryptic....same with saying thinks like 'blue bank' 'burger restaurant with the number in it' using nicknames that do identify the client and then naming a client would be a violation.

some people are talking about the mobee app...no way you make 130-150 for a few hours...most any one mission I ever saw was $10 at one chain, but now they are down to $5 max. I can do a route weekly, 3 stores in one shopping center and a 4th a mile down the road...it will take about an 45 minutes to an hour and only comes out to $7....if i can throw in a $5 chain store a mile in the other direction that is $12 for an hour or so.

many of these are time sensitive and you can't save them to the end of the day.

I'm not talking about Mobee, there is an app called "Missions". The OP didn't mention bee at all, so I assumed that's what they were referring to. I've never done a Mobee mission. I have it installed to do some when I am in a mall, but they never seem to be available until a date after my visit.

Missions pays 20 cents a price input. A lot of the items are on 'sale' for a long period of time. If I'm the one to accept the mission each time, there are a lot more items that already have the correct price listed, making it fast to submit.

Yes I am talking about the audits done with the "Missions" app that pay per item input. I did not mention the MSC because I know for a fact that right now 2 different companies have audits going using this app. Thanks Sweeping for the reply.
You can mention the companies as long as you don't mention the clients. when you try to be cryptic, either people know what you are talking about or the conversation gets confusing because the 'clue' is similar to other things.

I tried looking for an app called 'Missions' but nothing came up.

even though OP didn't mention 'bees' it was mentioned later on....and employees of the client or other experienced MSers can figure out that is mobee...and mobee has missions

jmitw:There is another word before the word missions in the app store but I do not remember what it is. The MSC gives you directions on how to download and use the app. It is only available on the phones, I wanted to load it on my tablet but I was told it was not available,it had to be the phone.

your not talking about ground control are you? i don't remember missions being anywhere in it.
It is hard to find past all the games that have Mission in the title. Here is the link to the Android, not sure about Apple. [play.google.com]
thanks..you would think the app with the EXACT name Missions, would come up before the close matches
So, I just did my first Missions audit, and I was a little confused because the store I was at doesn't do promos or sales. But my real question is, now I see other audits that are available, but I can't tell what they pay, or even how they pay and when. The job I did was for an MSC using the app. How do I find out more about the ones that are *only* on the app?
Is this considered 'mystery shopping', or is this not contract work? I'm confused with the app and how to sign up, and who the company is behind it.
It seems many of us are concurred alot this app. No invite for me although i requested, twice.
I originally found the app after applying to a "Price Audit" shop on KSS International. Lorri Kern scheduled me and forwarded a PDF on how to do shops. I've mostly been self-assigning myself whenever I see new ones pop up on the app.
I've only done a few, but I wait until they call me so I can get a bonus. I didn't like them after the first one, but working with the app gets easier with each one so they go much faster now. I like that I'm done after submitting the mission/s. Nothing to look "forward" to when I get home.
I still haven't figured out how much the audits on the app pay. Can someone who uses this app regularly tell us where to find the payment info?
