However, many users experience frequent error messages requiring repeated reinstallations, and the extension sometimes interferes with website functions or browser stability. Privacy concerns and reports of unfulfilled rewards are common complaints.

I have used Reality Meter for years and the only problem has been Microsoft Edge stealing my browser when accidentally opened. I just reinstall the Chrome version in less than a minute. The Knowledge Rewards are such a great deal and I have earned over $1,300 so far. I HIGHLY recommend this app!

this extension is a huge pile of $h1+. every startup i have to reinstall it but not really because it doesnt actually reinstall. it says theres a problem then after it opens up chrome to fix it it says everything is fine. its just annoying. especially since all they are doin is collecting my data anyway. should be a lot less noticeable

I have used RealityMeter for several years now. No issues except an occasional hiccup. Help from associates has been spot-on and timely. Continuing to use. Rewards come in handy at holidays!
