New apps I will be reviewing!
Gopinion: This app rewards you for checking in and scanning things (appears to be QR codes). I will know more about this soon and will update.
Kickbit: Alright I am kinda of excited about this one, this app doesn't pay cash but rather you watch a ad or complete offer and in return you receive additional DATA. yes that very expensive thing that you have to keep an eye on when you've racked up enough data for your liking send it to your cell account (currently Verizon is available maybe sprint and few other company's, not available for AT&T yet, but they are talking about it, so it is in the works. This app hasn't been able to be put to the test yet.
Yappen: This app will probably be my next review it looks promising. You have "missions" where you make a post (within the app no Facebook or Twitter required.) Sometimes requiring a photo (example: share an experience or an idea for improvement that comes to mind when you are at Wal-mart. then you will have follow the requirements for example 1. your suggestion 2. use the #Walmart 3. photo submit.) You can earn 100, 200 or more points for a simple post. Not all missions are stores many are "what is your favorite candy " type stuff it takes about 7500 point to get a 5.00 gift card (many gift-card options) it may seem like a while to get paid but if you think about it since every post is 100-200 or more it could take 37 posts up to 78 or so, and considering the fact that it only takes a moment to post shouldn't be to bad, but I will be reviewing this app and seeing how long it really takes.
If you can't wait until the reviews come out and want to check out now head out just be safe and if you have an opinion or any information let us know. I take no responsibility for what happens, as always.
I have more apps I am considering reviewing soon so stay tuned and while your at it hit that follow button.
Commute Pays: This app pays you for driving, low amounts but pays. In addition you can complete offers in app to earn miles to redeem for rewards. I am still reviewing this app fully so A complete review is coming. In the mean time you can download this app and if you have an opinion before I am able to post my full review, just comment.
In addition I and starting to review other apps they will be posted soon as well with a pass or fail grade, If you have any suggestions feel free to comment and let me know.
Qriket: NEW!! is a app where you scan QR codes or re-scan other peoples codes and get and use your
"wands" (you get from viewing ads,daily wands and engaging) to spend a wheel where you have a 50/50
chance of winning money, I have made almost 6.00 just from sitting home "re-scanning other peoples QR
codes they the app lets you use, so no leaving the home to make money on this one.
Update: I have been paid 10.00 so it does pay but note, its in CAD (Canadian dollars.) which transfers to 9.50 USD then there is a .69 cents for Paypal to transfer that money so you end up with around 8.81. That is unless you want to keep some money in CAD, I of course transferred. So if you live in Canada this won't really effect you at all because you get it and no currency convert fee, in the U.S and any other country make sure you know the currency convert and the fee in your country in PayPal.
also you will be paid in a Echeck instead of direct pay so you have to wait for the Echeck to cleat which depends on country in the U.S I believe its up to 10-12 days (horribly long.) versus other apps where its instantly in your PayPal.
Also as I have stated before this app really does to be "rigged" you have a a 50/50 chance to get money its a wheel split up between blue and gold, and if its not rigged to some extent I must be really unlucky for example I had like 7 wands choose blue every-time besides once and every time it was blue, besides the one time I chose gold I then later got 4 and happened again but luckily on the last spin I got .05 cents which is convenient since every other spin I lost on had .15-.25 cents. So I am unlucky or its rigged can't really prove anything of course, but I would like to hear from you on this.
Also the 10 free wands that went down to 4 is now 3. I will prob. be downgrading this apps rating soon, but I would still list it as a decent app to make money on, so long as the don't keep messing up.
Cons include:
When I first received this app it stated you get 10 free wand per day, but have only been receiving 4 and lately 3 which is is huge cut unless its a error
seems like the wheel is rigged, at first it was great but now it seems like its opposite of what color I choose (could be me, but at first it wasn't like this and actually I would like to hear from you.) This may not be a deal breaker unless proven
E-mailed twice no response someone else did the same and got no response.
Pros include:
You can sit at home and make money, its easy fun (when you win.)
You make money petty quick currently
It is new and different.
Rating:
I had plans of giving this app a 4.5-5 but between cutting the wands down to 4 and now 3 and the wheel feeling like its rigged after the first few dollars (I am not putting that much into this part because I could be just very unlucky. also the customer service is non responsive unless you go to there Facebook page (the tell you on there to contact support.) with all this I give this app a 3.5/5 only because there is money to be made you still get extra wands from ads and so on. I will keep an eye on this app and hope they redeem themselves back to the app they was, until then its worth it but not quite the 5 star I was wanting to give.
Receipt Hog: NEW!! this app it very simple to use download, take a receipt you got from the store scan,
receive points for cash or gift-cards, I have been paid from this app. they have added a new referral
program so here is my link to help you out http://app.receipthog.com/share/e9ki1lr I know this is on IOS
devices haven't checked Android.
Cons include:
I don't see huge cons about this pay is OK but since people don't go to the store every day it may take
awhile.
(if you wanted to you could go make small purchase every day to get a receipt the dollar amount on the receipt doesn't matter you still get the same amount and the more you scan the more you "level up" and get more per scan.)
Pros include:
Cash paid via PayPal or Amazon gift card
very easy, just open the app scan and done
Rating:
with ease of use and you just do it in spare time and the way its set up, yet it takes a little while to earn enough (unless you ask friends and family for theirs) I give it a 4/5
The Ride app: NEW!! App claims to pay you for every mile you walk, drive or any sort of motion. claims
not to use GPS at all and can't locate you, and instead uses local cell towers to guess how far you've moved
from the towers. will update with more information.
Cons include:
the use of GPS drains battery if you use it and also the app pretty much tracks you ( at least last time I checked.) which could be a privacy concern to some.
Pay is low per mile
I have heard story's of errors on mileage they did vs. what the app says.
Pros include:
Appears to pay.
You don't really have to do a whole lot it does the work for you
Rating:
This is an ok app but could have privacy concerns for some and the battery drain and real vs. actual miles. I give this app a 3/5
EasyShift:NEW!! Easy shift is kinda like Gigwalk and Field Agent it just gives additional job offers if the
other two apps are lacking that day, app is fun and easy to use. This app is in the IOS store
Cons include:
depends on your location if you will get jobs in your area.
attention to detail, if you don't follow the directions your work could be worthless
(usually its pretty easy, if the item isn't available let them know they will tend to give you the money, if you
send the work and realize you missed something or the app isn't working correctly send a E-Mail with the info and the E-Mail address associated with the account.)
Pros include:
You can really rack up cash depending on location like 50.00-100.00 or more depending on where you live (I counted one area and counted over 1,200.00 worth of jobs with in about 10-15 mile radius. Keep in mind this was in a highly populated area, but it just goes to show how much you can make.)
Rating:
I give this app a 4/5 because of location of jobs and similar apps like Field Agent seem to be better.
GigWalk: NEW!! I've put off GigWalk for lack of jobs and location, but that has been fixed, they now have
way more jobs (location depending) This app is kinda of like a mystery shop/audit job you go to a store and
do the job and get paid cash. I know this App is in the IOS store, not sure about Android.
Cons include:
paid upon exact completion (AKA don't give them a reason to deny you, I've had to go back to a store for
a simple mistake that I told them about.)
it may or may not be worth the drive for the compensation
pros include:
if you have jobs in your area you can easily rack up cash in no time.
jobs tend to be easy to do and take minutes.
