[R8] Zap Surveys 5/5 · US Zap Surveys: First of all, I enjoy taking surveys and I especially like to take zap surveys because you get paid at least a few cents even if you get in a situation where you are screened out. It’s a quick and fun way to make extra cash. I like the fact that your surveys not only tell you the time it should take you to complete the survey but they are much more accurate than some other survey site
  8. [R12] Zap Surveys 2/5 · US Survey failing to load: Please zap is suppose to have upgraded their platform since theirs no options to use website . At least provide refresh on your page when doing survey and the survey platform keep rolling even without doing survey . Sometimes surveys do hangs and no options to refresh the website to load automatically. I have ended losing a lot of point. Because I had to quit the survey

It’s not like we’re getting paid hundreds of dollars. Until I get this resolve
