Unfortunately, I am unable to register. It will not recognize my phone number, nor can I use the Facebook login (which is ok, I hate logging in via Facebook). Ok, a couple hours later, I could finally register. Now, to wait.

Downloaded this just to see what was up, turns out to be a legit video company. I have submitted videos involving interviews, schools, shots of rain, street closures etc. Pretty cool to be honest and they pay decently well. If you got a phone and a good sense of videography, wouldn't hurt to test it out.

The app is a little clunky and doesn't tell you why your video is rejected, which is frustrating after you've spent hours and hours driving around to collect it for them. It is also as rare as lobster chins to make a sale. Most of the time, if your footage is accepted, it just sits there. I will say that they have a wonderful response time and you can actually get ahold of somebody on this app. I guess it's not their fault that very few things sell.
