"Ideal for Freelancers, Simplicity with Room for Support Improvement"
What do you like best about Appen?

I like Appen because it gets me the projects I want to work on, which is hard to find on other websites. It provides payments on time, which helps me rely on it for earnings. The platform also helps me grow as a person while working on projects. I find the Appen platform's interface to be very simple, creative, and advanced, which aids contributors and freelancers in their work. The simplicity makes it easy to navigate, and the platform's advancement gives me confidence and trust in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appen?

The support system, I would say, can be better because whenever I try to raise a ticket or get some help on the help desk, I feel some problems. I get some problem on finding the perfect scenario with which topic I should raise the ticket and when I will get the support, and when will I get response? It takes time, and they will disturb me personally, but otherwise, the good comment is good. Support can be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lots of Links, Links and Links"
What do you like best about Appen?

I really liked that Appen is mostly web-based. The loading times are fast, and the site is easy to navigate and is very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appen?

The links are just confusing. Sometimes you'd have an access issue, because you logged in on a incorrect link. Apparently, there exists multiple links and thus you need to sign up for multiple accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
