Those using swagbucks ???

[havaneselover]

I do have an ipad mini! Would that be faster and allow me to run the apps? I really am not much of an apps user so this is kind of new to me. My dh is actually an IT Director (so, kind of embarrassing that I am so technologically behind!) but he is busy and like Cydney's dh, he thinks this is kind of silly. He is willing to help me get set-up but we stay pretty busy so I've just been trying to figure it out by reading here.

I do LTG and TTG when I get them. Never seen blue men but I have been watching for them.

Yes, I run the apps on my iPad mini.

 

[havaneselover]

I use my ipad mini and my iphone at the same time to run through the apps. They are listed as iphone only apps but you can put them on the ipad and they work just fine.

For some reason I can't do this. It won't advance on the iPad (e.g., it will keep saying 14 more videos) if I'm running a different app on my phone.

Mine only does that on EntertaiNow. It is the last app I run. BUT i just updated my ipad and my iphone and all the apps yesterday and they ran so smoothly today, even EntertainNow was fine.

Oh, that makes sense. That's the app I generally run on my iPad.

This gives a decent idea of short videos. Since IndyMusic added the short clips, I have been able to find something in the 30sec or shorter range on each app. Sportly is currently the longest I have at 32 sec.

I don't use a smart phone for the apps, just my ipad mini. It is an easy 86 (or more) SB per day. Before January I would get over 100 SB a day just from SBTV, but I think I've only had that 3-4 days so far this year hoping it picks back up, though! I did get 8 bonus SB on IndyMusic today (and at only 25 videos each....)

I posted my current list just a little while ago. My longest is 18 seconds if you want to check it out. I have only gotten a bonus once since January 1st and it was just one LOL!

So, I updated my ipad mini, went to the app store and I do not see any swagbucks app (nor swagbucks tv). My mini is 2'ish years old. Maybe it is just too old and not compatible?

ETA: Googled it on my ipad and found it. So weird that I cannot see it in the appstore.

In the app store they have an ipad only section and an iphone only section. They are in the iphone only section.

Good to know, Cydney! Thank you!

So, I have Swagbucks, SB tv and EntertaiNow. I am running some short clips on there right now and yes, they are moving way, way faster than the videos on my laptop. Are there any other apps to download for Swagbucks? I want to get the hang of all this before I add Perktv in.

Thank you all for the help!

my current "favorites"
SBTV- 10 sec tip- picking peppers (0:11)
MovieClips- Joey Medina: Drive (0:14)
IndyMusic- Throwing Toasters (0:18)
Lifestylz- 10 Sec tip watering (0:11)
EntertaiNow- American Horror Story (0:16)
Sportly- Joey Medina Father (0:14)

you add them to your favorites by swiping it to the left and holding it until a heart shows up. Then you just let it run that video over and over.

SBTV, MovieClips, IndyMusic, Lifestylz, EntertaiNow and Sportly are the swagbucks apps. That list is the shortest clips I have found on each app.

ETA: SBTV is 36 SB a day and the other 5 are all 10 SB a day unless you qualify for a bonus round. Right now you are lucky to get bonus rounds, but during the holidays they were very common.

I used your list and the ones from the link I posted and now all my favorites are 14 seconds or less Of course, without bonus rounds I am done before dinner time anyway....

I also got a bonus round on sportly today.....35 videos for those 2 swagbucks....but with a 39SB search win and an 8SB search win, plus a decent amount of 3 and 4SB ncraves, I am at my 2nd goal of 210 for the day already

Nice! I am loving the higher auto ncraves today. I'm hoping we will get the 6pt ones back soon. I really miss Happy hour!

Jealous of your 2nd goal, mine has been over 400 since Monday. Guess I did too well over the weekend, it's rare I get to 350 during the week, so I hope it goes down or I won't meet many 2nd's this month.

Mine has been 420-480 since before January with the exception of a couple weekend days it was 380. I missed quite a few days in January but my bonus was still pretty big (1106). I just set a personal goal for how much I want and if I meet my second goal, great! If not, no big deal! It is nice when you get the second goal and know your bonus for that day is 47SB though!

@wendow when you run videos on your laptop are you doing the playlists or are you doing ncraves?

There are 3 offers on Peanut Labs for 51sb - diabetes awareness bracelet, 100 recipes and diabetes friendly recipes. All credit with just email submit.

I try to run both (not at the same time). The playlists run smoother but still pause a lot and keep me from being able to do anything else on my laptop.

I am running now on my ipad. AMAZED at the difference!! I just don't know how to find all the ones on your list yet. I found the American Horror Story (ick!) one and it played but then 19 more or so played. Is that how it works? 20'ish videos for 2SB?

Sadly, my goal is so low because last month I earned so little My bonus was only 813 (including the 300 for monthly master) Hoping things pick up soon. As much as the low nCraves hurt, the lack of bonuses on SBTV and the other apps have really made a difference for me. My bonuses for just SBTV were 4228 in October, 1225 in November (I spent 10 days at WDW), 2550 in December and just 826 in January.

I was averaging 250-500 in Nov/Dec with 2nd goals in the high 300s-low 400s. January was 150-250 with 2nd goals the same until last week, when they finally dropped into the 200s. But, I really only do apps and nCraves. Rarely do offers, even rarer surveys. I did have a good bit of S&E credit in December and some in January from my ebay gc churning.

The short videos on SBTV and Lifestylez are under Home & Garden. You find the video, and swipe your finger to the left until the heart turns red. It is now a favorite and you go to favorites and select that one video. It will play over (and over and over). You do the same thing for the short videos on the other apps, but they are found under Short clips.

I have tried to find these on the apps and am having no luck. Are they the same on iOS and android? Any more info? I also saw where you said you posted what you've found to be the shortest a bit ago but can't find it. I scrolled back about 25 pages. Can you give me an idea how far back you think it may be? Thank you!

You can do boondocks instead of American horror story. It is the same length and I actually have both of them as my "favorites". Yes it is similar to the playlist on the laptop where you have to watch a certain amount to get 2sb. It is less on SBTV than the others, but if you are on your favorites list it will just play the same video over and over and it will go very quickly.

The 10 sec tips videos will be in the home and garden category. The Joey medina ones are under short clips. (For indymusic you can do the same Joey medina clip instead of throwing toasters, it is shorter).

Do you know how to get the auto advancing ncraves?
