User reviews

Userbrain Recorder is valued for its simplicity and broader test availability, offering users a way to earn money by performing usability tests. However, many users report significant issues like frequent crashes, low pay, and problematic test workflows causing lost opportunities. The lack of notifications for new tests frustrates users, and privacy concerns are raised over extensive permissions. Despite these drawbacks, some appreciate the platform's ease of use and the ability to contribute to helpful tasks.

Pros

The extension is easy to use and has a simple interface.
There are more tests available compared to some other usability test platforms.
It provides an opportunity to earn money online by completing usability tests.
It supports tasks that help people, which is appreciated by users.
The extension serves as the easiest recorder among usability testing sites.

Cons

The extension is buggy and often crashes, resulting in lost tests and wasted time.
Payment is low for the time required, with a minimum payout threshold that is hard to reach due to test availability and ratings.
No notification system exists to alert users of available tests, making it difficult to participate.
The extension requires persistent permissions that raise privacy concerns, including reading and changing all data on websites and capturing screen content.
Users experience difficulties starting or continuing tests, such as the test closing unexpectedly or the extension failing to load or record correctly.

This site is a SCAM. They will randomly block you from all tests, ignore all support and STEAL YOUR MONEY BY NOT LETTING YOU PAYOUT. These people are scammers. This site is a scam. Don't fall for it. Uninstall, get off this site and report them.

Poorly designed with many faults. When doing screener if you click off the extension from toolbar it loses focus and acts as if you closed the test out. No way to get back to it. That means any type of minimizing the browser or switching browser (multiple monitor) can cause you to lose out on a current screener in process. I've also had issues during an actual test I've been accepted into where it asked me to visit a site and when I clicked the link it closed the test and prevented me from continuing and means I lost out on an actual test.
