Google opinion reward thing - I've never had a survey this year for some reason?

Get out of the house and hit a shopping centre I've racked up quite a bit over two phones so far and I always get a flood of surveys after I've visited town or elsewhere in the UK. Guess it's Google trying to localise exactly where I was on a particular date.

Getting out the house isn't a problem but go to a shopping centre That may be why though as not really done any shopping apart from supermarket since Christmas. All that said I did get asked what was my occupation this morning and was rewarded with 10 pence ..... so off shopping I go

... Don't expect much from that 10p .

I've noticed a lack of surveys recently as well, last month I was easily getting one a day, but it's gone quiet this month.

I always get one on a Monday if I've been to Tesco on a Saturday (my usual food shopping day).

Your Google search results etc also influence the sort of surveys you get.

I've racked up £2 in the last month, walk into town most days to stretch my legs

You'll need a 3rd party launcher, like 'Nova' or similar.

What launcher?

Press and hold on it?

Or turn it off in the settings?

Press and hold doesn't work

Struggled to find it in settings, Nova Launcher is doing the trick now

Thanks

You can't on the Google Now launcher

I got that one too, odd thing to ask someone with a smartphone and a Google account!

To get surveys you need to visit retail parks and supermarkets. In 9 months I've had about £30 to spend on the play store. Answer honestly as it will know from your location on said date if you were at the store or not.

What's everyone using for a file manager these days? I was using ES File Explorer, but it's become more and more bloated with useless features, and I only learned a few weeks ago that it's because the original creator sold it quite a while ago.

I just need something with a slick/polished interface that can do basic cut/copy/paste.
