r/dscout

on dscout, i started two express missions and qualified and began the applications, but something came up, and I could not finish them. it shows reward rejected due to quality, but i didnt even finish the mission. i maen to say i did not even submit something (obviously) but I want to know will this affect my standing? i have already completed and earned a reward from a past mission if that provides comments. will i be shadowbanned?

Is anyone else getting fewer missions on dscout lately?

I’ve noticed that I’m not receiving many mission opportunities compared to before. I also enabled the SMS alert feature, but I’m still not seeing much activity.

Just wondering if this is normal for everyone right now?

How many missions are you guys typically seeing these days? Are SMS alerts actually helping you get more opportunities?

In my mobile, Whenever I click on " Activate xt to unlock" i only get magic link on email for signup which redirect me to Discout homepage in my browser and nothing else

Has anyone else had this happen with a Dscout Live session? I was scheduled for an interview this morning and have been waiting in the virtual room, but the moderator still hasn’t joined. It's been 30 mins already, and nothing.

I sent a message through the mission chat, and an Email to Dscout support, but I’m not sure how long I should continue waiting or what happens if the researcher never shows up. I also had to rearrange my schedule to make time for the session, so it’s a little frustrating.

Has this happened to anyone else? What did Dscout do in your case?

Just venting because I finally received a pretty cool mission I had qualified for. After speaking with the researcher, they basically just thought that I was lying about my knowledge and usage. Even asked me to do something that wasn’t mentioned before the meeting to like throw me off. The meeting ended for other reasons but, I’ve never had this happen before and I’ve done many interview like surveys. I’ve just never experienced something like this before and wonder if it’s common?

Anyone else get super annoyed when researchers only let you select one answer for a question? I use all four options equally and all 4 are relevant to my life. Yet they will only let me select one. I debate and pick one, and yup…. Sorry this mission is not a good fit. Umm actually it would have been because I shop at all these stores multiple times a month. You just wouldn’t let me pick them. Ugh.

Sharing again since it’s a known issue, but extremely challenging to identify the cause. Don’t give up! It’s an easy workaround (see below)! 😊

Issue: Dscout will detect the connection from iOS to the Apple Watch as a VPN and block your access to the application.

Fix: Disable the bluetooth connection to Apple Watch in iPhone settings while using Dscout.

Why: To support advanced Siri on the new OS, iPhone creates a silent VPN to the Apple Watch for secure communication. This is not a user-manageable connection.

Reach out to Dscout Support: Please take a moment to report this to the Dscout team to highlight this issue and validate when turning off Bluetooth, or disabling the Bluetooth connection for your watch, the VPN notification stops. This was reported during iOS 27 beta 2, however no development change has been noted thus far. It’s imperative they correct this invalid detection within their app, however I have not received direct confirmation they have or will be taking action. The more direct reports, the better.

When a mission is "closed", and it says "this is what your submission will earn if it meets quality requirements"

I have like 10 or so of those. How frequently do those actually get paid? I really made sure to have high quality video and responses. I just fear it will all be for nothing.

Any tips? Tricks? Or advice too?

I been using Dscout since last year and I never got any Express Missions, I saw people getting them but I never saw any. I only got Diary Missions and Live Missions, do you get them often or sometimes?

$436 in the past 3 weeks. Signed up having no idea what to expect and I am obsessed!

So my app crashed during a mission and I’m sure nothing uploaded but now it’s closed. Can they reopen it for me? It was going so well 😭
