Troubleshooting:
🤖Where can I find the app and how do I install it?
You can install the Mindrift app for Android using Google Play or AppGallery. Please note, that the app can be available in not all countries.
🤖I have installation problems because my operating system is too old.
The app is available on devices running Android 6.0 or higher. If you have an older version of the operating system, you won't be able to install the app. But you can complete tasks in the browser on your computer or laptop.
🤖Tasks are not loaded in the app.
Try updating the app, reinstalling it, and restarting your mobile device.
🤖I can't click “Submit” when I complete training tasks.
You must have made mistakes when completing the task, so you can't submit it.
How the training works:
You give responses to all tasks on the page and click Send.
The system compares your responses with the correct answers provided by the requester.
If you make a mistake, a hint appears set against a red background.
Change your responses to the correct ones in all the tasks where hints appeared.
Then click Send.
After you change all your responses to the correct ones, the training will be completed.
🤖I open the task, but there are no points on the map.
Task authors group tasks according to their goals. If you don't see any available tasks in your city when trying to select points on the Available tab, it means that there are no relevant tasks in this group. To see all tasks that are currently available in your city, switch to the task view mode on the map. To do this, click the blue button with the map icon at the bottom right tab.
