Just completed my first interview with a methinks client, it was interesting, had a great UX for an initial launch, and superior cam quality! Plus I GOT PAID! :$ Oh and if you enter henk0009 after sign up you'll get a bonus $10 in addition to your first interviews payout!

You can use methinks as a researcher, not just a gigger. I went to methinks.io, setup an account in a few seconds, created a gig for thinkers and within minutes I had matched with research subjects. I then scheduled interviews and talked to them. The filtering is key -- people pounce on gigs, so it's important to screen the users and gauge knowledge before scheduling interviews.And, you can setup a script and chapter the questions and answers - they're transcribed automatically, which is very cool and useful in sharing the interviews. That said, there's one thing you need that methinks doesn't make obvious -- get the app install for desktop, because then you can share your desktop, browser, or dongle your phone and share your mobile app. It's a great app if you work in marketing or product.
Pros:
I've used this app for research. It's great at finding specific types of users. Very easy payment method. Great UX. Setup is a snap.
