Ratings and reviews

There are two items that are annoying: 1. When it says "Enable Accessibility data collection," Enable the Accessibility Service for Screenwise. I try every time to figure out how to do that, but I can't figure it out; 2. The second is when I get on the internet, and it repeatedly asks me to sign in when I'm already signed in. Neither happens very often, but it's still often enough to be frustrating. The former didn't start happening until the last year. Other than that, Screenwise is fine.

I have been on the panel for 3 years with no problems or issues at all. As a mater of fact, it has been a good ride, and the little extra cash was nice too. Today, I could not sign in to the google extension or the screenwise app. When I contacted support, I was told my account was deactivated due to low usage and they cannot reactivate my account. Apparently, my usage is not getting reported has every device in my house goes through the router and the app is on my phone. From reading some of the other reviews, it seems like others are having the same issue.

When it works I do get my rewards and have redeem them on multiple occasions. On the other hand however, app keeps crashing every time I try to load it. It doesn't notify me of check in or anything. I have to constantly uninstall and reinstall it over and over again for it to work for one time then it stops working. Support wasn't helpful as all I got in response was "did you uninstall and reinstall it?" like what else is there? The app literally closes the moment I open it.
