It’s pretty fun. $70 to take a ferry, $50 reimbursements for restaurants, $9 just to inquire about 3 phone recommendations, $40 reimbursement for GAMBLING if you lose, free $17 car washes, free city parking, $20 to wonder around a store for 15 minutes, $210 just to open up a savings account at 18 y/o, $15 just to see if they’ll sell cigarettes without carding a kid, $75 to fake like you’re taking out a home loan...and on and on. Those were real shops I’ve seen and/or completed! Love it! You’ll want to either have a PERFECT memory or keep your phone recording audio so you can better write the reviews.The app isn’t perfect but it’s functional. It makes me feel like my phone screen is too small. The actual website is pretty well polished.

Let me preface this by saying I do secret shopping for half a dozen at least companies so I don’t keep track close enough of my income from the individual companies. The most recent group of projects I did for iSecretShop was for hotels and I was supposed to be paid $50 per hotel. I did three of them so that would be $150 last month I did four Lowe’s shops for $15 apiece equaling $60. So there’s $210 right there because I’m a little bit short on cash right now,. I looked to see if the $150 has hit my PayPal account yet. After doing a little digging in my PayPal and bank account ledgers I found that I haven’t been paid by iSecretShop at all in five months. It’s between two and $300 that they owe me. I sent an email the problem and a snippy little thing named Ivan returned the email saying that “yes I HAD been paid for every single project I had completed” with no other explanation at all. NOW I’M JUST PLAIN OLD MAD. I’m not stupid, I can read my bank statement and I know I haven’t been paid. Yes it’s taken me five months to come up with this but now that I have, I would like my money don’t fall for this app. It seems easy and the project themselves are easy, but apparently getting paid paid is not easy.

Do not waste your time here. Jennifer the founder and CTO is rude and unprofessional. I worked for them weekly for 3 months faithfully fulfilling my secret shop obligations. A few weeks ago the app began having issues. After reaching out several times and not getting answers or a resolution to the problem I was connected with Jennifer. Numerous emails were sent back and forth as I continually provided the information being requested. During this exchange she became increasingly argumentative, disresptful and condescending. She then DENIED my most recent (Completed) Costco shop in an effort to assert her authority over me. It wasn’t until I questioned this and requested contact information for someone else to speak with that she backpedaled and accepted it. She then informed me that “I’m Not A Good Fit” for my Costco shop that I’ve done every week for the last 12 weeks. She and her company are unprofessional and dishonest. My suggestion… Don’t waste your time with this one. There are plenty of other opportunities out there.

iSecretShop is an awesome company. The shops are fun and they pay pretty well too! My only suggestion would be for them to have more variety in their offerings. One can only do practically the same type of cell phone shop, with the same scenario at 17 different cell phone shops without it getting just a tad repetitive. But again, the company is great and provide excellent customer service. The app is pretty good too; it locks-up on occasion, but all I have to do is exit out and go back in. I would highly recommend if you’re looking for a little extra ca$hola. You won’t make a “living” out of it, but will bring in some extra moolah for some fun later on down the road ;)
