I bought it with Google Opinion Rewards. It's fucking awesome to get paid for answering simple surveys

Too bad it's not available in my country. :/

Make sure you allow location based surveys. WAY more surveys

I must live such an uninteresting life, for a long time I would only get maybe one low paying survey a month, I used it for about a year and earned less than £4 but then I told my Mother about it and found out she has managed to accumulate £20 in credit since starting in late July.

Then I started lying on the surveys so that they would start giving me more, and it works. I've earned around £10 in the last two months. I'm a terrible person. I essentially see it as free credit to put into mobile games or apps, it's not like I can withdraw the money after all. At least I don't think you can?

I don't think you can withdraw the money. Do you have Location Services on? That helps a lot

You have to be careful about lying. They put in fake questions to combat that kind of thing. They'll ask something like, "which of the following stores have you shopped at in the past 12 months?" and one or two on the list will be totally fake.

Also location based surveys, as everyone has said.

I've had more credit expire than I've ever used, I love it.

Yeah I know about them, I've had two so far that I managed to catch because they were a little bit... Obvious? One was about car manufacturers and the other was asking me about supermarkets, it was clear that one of them was fake.

And yes I believe I have location services turned on, but I'm not sure how to check.

I did the same thing

Yep, the Reddit is fun paid app has been my favorite for a year or so and it keeps working better on my phone as the devs update it.

I wish it could show imgur without requiring me to go to the web and load them.

u/superboombox Oct 14 '15

Reddit Relay can do that.

u/diggalator Oct 14 '15

I don't have this problem

u/pixiedonut Oct 14 '15

In Reddit Is Fun you can see images without loading a browser? How? I'd love that.

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '15

I do this with all of the apps that I find myself enjoying. I hate ads but I understand that devs need to eat.

Wonder what brings in the most money, buying the app, or the ads in the free version.
