8+ Best Survey Apps That Pay You

8+ Best Survey Apps That Pay You

1. Apperwall Android

Want to get paid for writing short reviews on iPhone & Android? If your answer is yes, then, Apperwall is for you.
Apperwall is a service that allows people to get paid for downloading, rating apps, and writing short reviews for them (both iOS and Android). All you need is a smartphone, internet connection, and 5 minutes.
Apperwall is suitable to those who want to earn additional money while using their own phones (basically, just anybody). Whether you are a student, a parent, a teacher, or someone else, Apperwall is for you.
The service is currently open in the US and Russia but will expand into other countries eventually.

Do This: Log in on Apperwall.com. Android users can also use the app . You can use any social account – FB, Google+, Twitter and others. After you log in, you’ll see the list of offers. Click or tap an offer to get instructions.
After a task is done and checked by Apperwall, reward is added to your account.
In the new version, you’ll have to wait a week after you wrote a review until you’re able to withdraw your money. This was made to give Apperwall more time to check reviews and moderate them.

Earn This: Remember quality over quantity. Depending on the quality of reviews, you can earn up $45/month. The better the reviews, the more money you earn and the more offers you get. As simple as that.
This app won’t make you rich but that’s gas money and some more right there. For additional money making tips, refer your friends to Apperwall and get extra rewards.
Take advantage of the benefits this app provides… the right way.
Google and Apple delete reviews they deem to be suspicious. That’s why it’s highly recommended that you do not delete an application from your phone for about a week and periodically launch it.
Also, if you wait for 24 hours after downloading an app and before leaving review, the chance of you review being deleted will be almost 0%.
