My verdict
Whilst Field Agent is worth downloading, I’ve only made £16 to date from 3 jobs. There are always a handful of jobs available in my local area, but they’re not jobs I want to complete (such as a nightclub audit).The jobs are short and sweet, and there’s a wide variety. You only have two hours after accepting a job to complete it, so you cannot forward plan – meaning I’ve lost out on a few jobs.
