PandaCrazy Max is a powerful Chrome extension designed specifically for Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) workers. It automates the process of finding and grabbing Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs) at user-defined intervals, making it easier to manage multiple tasks efficiently. Users can add jobs to organized "panda" tabs and control which jobs to collect with simple buttons. A timer system cycles through jobs to attempt HIT collection, and when a HIT is accepted, the extension alerts the user via sound and notifications.

The extension features advanced search triggers on the Search Crazy page to monitor the MTurk search feed for specific requester IDs, group IDs, or keywords in HIT titles and descriptions. It supports auto-collection with controls to avoid queue overload. PandaCrazy Max maintains a local database of HIT history and stats, with options to export and back up job and trigger data. Customizable alarm sounds enhance the user experience. Overall, it empowers MTurk workers with efficient HIT acquisition and organization tools without performing tasks automatically.

User reviews

Users find PandaCrazy Max helpful and appreciate its functionality similar to the old Panda Scripts, especially when used with Hit Forker. However, several users face recurring issues such as frequent captchas disrupting work, halt of HIT collection due to request errors after accumulating tasks, and instability following recent Chrome updates. Users also desire better search and quick return features to improve workflow efficiency.

Limited HIT searching capabilities, relying on external scripts like Hit Forker, which has limitations.

I AM FACING FETCH ISSUE , PLEASE SLOVE THIS PROBLEM

After accumulating a certain amount of HITs in my queue, HITs stop being collected and I get an error that says, "400 Bad Request - Request Header Or Cookie Too Large," on all Mturk pages except the Dashboard. It happens on PC and PCM on both Firefox and Chrome. The number of HITs is different for each version. It usually fixes by restarting the browser and then completing a HIT before restarting collection, sometimes I have to delete my Mturk cookies. I only have 1 panda going for a specific HIT. I have been experiencing this for the last 2-3 months Please resolve this

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

PandaCrazy Max requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
