Review of Three Money Making Apps

My definition of money making apps: let you earn money (with almost instant feedback) without anything other than a fast Internet speed and your phone. Also, you should not have to go outside.

I've tried and seen many, and these are the ones I am most impressed with. 

- Google Opinion Rewards
- Whaff
- App Nana

My thoughts:
Google Opinion Rewards
As you can tell by the name, Google created this app. Unfortunately it's only available on Google Play, you receive cash immediately after completing a survey. That cash is actually "credit", but it is convenient to use to buy apps or music without having to input any payment methods. Trustworthy, easy to use, and actually worth a try!

Pros: easy to use, instant update to balance, can immediately use credit for purchases
Cons: Android only, only receive Google Play credit, each survey gives less than $1, may take a few days/weeks to get surveys

Whaff
I've used this app for 2 years now on and off, and I have cashed out three times. After some research, this app was created in Korea and to get some sort of revenue, they take a small amount of your cash each time you cash out. For example, if you cash out $10 on Paypal, you will probably only get $9 and some odd cents. I tried getting a $12 of Google Play credits, and I ended up only receiving a code with only $10 in it. Since no where on their FAQs or tutorials say this, I emailed the company. They tried explaining how Paypal took some of the money as taxes, which made sense, but they never replied about the Google Play credit. Either way, I still got my money, even though I couldn't get those painfully earned $2.

What I really like about Whaff is that whenever you play a game for 4 minutes or more, it is tracked and the app tells you how many more times you can do that until you received the max amount from an app. There are surveys and other things to do from third-party apps, but I feel like Whaff is constantly updating the app enough to have plenty of interesting apps and games for you to enjoy. Whaff also has a list of all of the apps that you have played and the amount you have earned from them. Sometimes, the same apps will appear again and give you more chances to play and earn money from it. 

Pros: easy to use and navigate, tracks your apps and times you can earn from them, instant update to balance, many cash out options (Google Play, Steam, League, etc)
Cons: earn only a few cents per app up to around $1, takes a long time to earn enough for cash out, must earn a certain amount to cash out

App Nana
Honestly, I only used this app for a short period of time--enough to get a single cash out. I am listing it here only because it worked. 

This was the second money-making app I tried. The first just didn't cut my expectations. This one has a great interface; everything was very easy to navigate and you could see all of the trade-out options easily. The only problem, as with the first app I tried, was that it was hard to tell which apps you've already tried and which you haven't. I would download an app and play it for 4 minutes, but I would still not get any rewards possibly because I already played that game before or because I did not use the link provided inside the app to download it. And even after you receive rewards from an app, a few days later, that app would appear again. Of course, you will not get the credits if you already played it before, but there was no way to see which apps you've tried and which you haven't yet. 

After I earned enough to get $2 from App Nana, I cashed out and left. I got Paypal credit, and $2 was exactly what I got. The app is promising and actually works, but the point system that it had wasn't doing it for me. It was hard to see how much me playing an app for 4 minutes could actually earn me, so I opted to switch to a different app. 

Pros: easy to use, instant update to balance, quick cash out process
Cons: uses a point system instead of $, apps reappear again but you cannot earn from them


I am not sponsored. These are my humble opinions of these 3 apps, and they all worked for me. After finding so many horrible "money making" apps from those "10 Best Apps...", "Top Apps that can..." lists, I decided to make my own.
