UAE’s First App That Pays People for Feedback

Task Spotting FZ-LLC, a Dubai-based tech startup has launched a smartphone app that pays people in exchange for their feedback. The app leverages the concept of crowdsourcing to help businesses get retail information by connecting them with smartphone users who are willing to provide it.

The app requires the users to complete simple tasks when visiting restaurants, retail outlets, and shopping malls. The users (Spotters) will need to complete tasks ranging from conducting retail audits to mystery shopping. Each of the missions assigned usually takes few minutes to complete, earning the spotter anywhere from AED 10 to AED 75. The spotters can transfer their rewards to their PayPal account or redeem them once they exceed 200 payment points or donate them to a charity.

Mr. Karim Aly, CEO and Co-Founder of Task Spotting was confident about the value of feedback businesses will be able to gather using this app, saying, “It’s a win-win situation. Anyone can sign up to make some extra cash for something as simple as taking a picture of a supermarket shelf, and businesses on the other hand get a chance to see their retail environment through the eyes of their customers in real-time”.
