To collect this information, SavvyConnect uses a VpnService that establishes a Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunnel to VPN servers that collect web requests while adding an additional layer of security to your sensitive information.

User reviews
for the last few months it hasn't worked correctly. Even when granting all the permissions,which are absolutely excessive to say the least, the platform does not consistently give you credit for sharing your information, which means you're basically giving them your information for free. You have to constantly uninstall and reinstall the app otherwise you can't use your phone fully with this app active due to it's VPN. Luth needs to make an effort to quickly update to address app problems

Wow! They just lowered the incentive from $5 to $3 per device and now you can only have two devices instead of three. I went from making $15/month to $6/month. In the midst of rapid inflation, lowering the incentive seems nonsensical. Nevertheless, I don't understand who would go through the trouble of using this app for a measly $6/month. The app drains your battery and slows down your device significantly. Not to mention the invasion of your privacy.

They used to pay you $5 per device. After years of paying $5 they lowered it to $3 per device. I am confused as to why they would think paying people, especially long time users, less money is good. You would think the pay would increase. I have been using this service for over 10 years. They still will only pay you in check form. I used to love this app, but I'm pissed that they cut my pay. And I never qualify for surveys. EVER. ValueMe pays $5 a month and sends it through PayPal.
