Support team is very unprofessional

Support team is very unprofessional. Nill
in managing things even Most of us haven't got payments from months. No quality checks. Even they really performed bad in their recent contract of Photomath. They want us on trial projects with almost nill payment. Although, for crowdsourcing over the world, i think they can have a lot of work for their experts. But due to their unprofessional behaviour, they are ending up with little to zero ratings like my review on trustpilot. Prices should be justified.
I am saying it again, they can have a lot of good work but before that they need to make their experts happy not furrestrated.

Stay away from this platform!

Worst ever platform in the world. They destroyed #1 Math app in the world (Photomath).

Worst support team ever, never got a reply from them since more than half an year.

Payments of most of the workers are blocked since February, and they are not responding (in fact never responded).

They always gave up false hopes that we will get new payment methods, so many high-paying projects and gigs but that never happened.

They started some projects and then end them right after a while. Not even a single successful project they had and it's been almost one year of Populii.

A Frustrating Experience

This platform has thousands of issues. They failed to meet expectations regarding remote working. I just want to highlight some of these:

1. Irregular Payment Periods: They do not have a regular pay schedule. It's supposed to be something like the last Wednesday of the month, but they fail to maintain this for all projects. I worked on a project and did not receive payment even after two months.

2. Limited Payment Methods: They only support Payoneer as a payment method. If you encounter any issues with Payoneer, your payment gets stuck. They have been promising to set up a new payment provider for 6-7 months. Holding onto this hope, many of us have been working for 6-7 months without payment, but there has still been no progress.

3. Terrible Support Team: Their support team is the worst. They never, ever reply to your emails. If you face any issues, you'll remain stuck for months. If you post about your problem on their Reddit community, they either delete your post or ask you to send an email—knowing full well they never respond to emails.

4. Subpar Work Platforms: The work platforms are awful. The "Photomath Project" is the only project with a dedicated platform to track your work and earnings. For all other projects, you work on Google Sheets. There’s no tracking of your work or payments. You have no idea how much you will be paid until payment arrives. For example, you might expect $200, but at the end of the month, you’ll receive only $25.
