He rejected my hit but reversed it after I told him my height. Normally I wait until the second date to tell someone that but nothing can be done about it.

Pros:
Wow, just wow. It's a requester like this that restores my faith in requesters especially after the very disheartening zero paying hit last night that was posted. I mean, that dude was basically paying us nothing to write a bunch of turk related pay questions and then had the nerve to threaten rejection on a zero paying hit if what was said was not up to their standards.
Then a hit like this ... Read more

I've done a number of hits for this requester and communicated with him on problems and found him to be super responsive. That said - never have done a smartphone app one for him.

Did everything turn out OK?

 

theres major ethics issues buying positive reviews

 

The issue is that this is a university affiliated requester (Stanford, to be exact) literally buying 5 star reviews for an app that's supposed to help with research into autism.

 

What do you mean?

 

I've done the autism hits - they aren't easy, but are fairly paid and well thought out for the most part. I'm confused as to what is happening here. I know I am a newbie but really liked these hits, felt like the researcher corresponded quickly and fairly so not sure what you mean about buying a 5 star review?

 

Would you trust buying into an app that has blatantly fake 5 star reviews from people who've never used it? Say you're buying a vacuum cleaner on Amazon that has a lot of 5 star reviews. However, upon further investigation, the majority of those reviews are bought because the manufacturer offers them a $20 voucher to leave a positive review. Would you not feel deceived? Especially if you buy it and it turns out the vacuum cleaner is some cheap piece of made in China junk. Now imagine doing this for an app that is supposed to help diagnose and further treat autistic children, isn't that even more shady?
