Jacky Writes about Making Money Testing Apps

My App testing discovery

I discovered an app testing app on Google Play by chance.  It looked a good way to earn money.

Downloading the app was easy. This kind of app gives you links to other apps to try each day. You just do what you do to get any other app on your phone. 

You need a wireless connection

I wouldn’t recommend this way of earning money to anyone without an uncapped wireless connection. It will soon eat into your data if it is limited.

A few apps a day

Each day I get a few new apps to try out. If I download them following the link in the App testing app I earn money. You test the app for a few minutes and get points. These quickly add up so you can cash out. The minimum is 50p.

How much do I earn?

It is only the odd £1 or so at a time, but every little helps.

My aim is to pay at least some of my phone bill with online earnings and so this seemed an interesting way to add to the other things I use. 

Are the apps I have tested useful?

 I have also discovered quite a few apps I will use again when I need them.

I love experimenting with online things. While my fortune will never be made online unless some kind of miracle happens,  it is easy money.

NO it doesn’t clog up my phone

I soon figured that with wireless I can uninstall the apps I am trying out when I am not using them so this is not taking a lot of room on my phone.

What kind of apps are involved? 

I am not that fond of games so I tend to try out other things. My best app so far is one that gives me free photos. I quite liked the “Lollipop” game, despite what I just said, but it was too time consuming.

I only keep the apps that don’t eat into my time too much for a while. 

What about the payout?

The payout is easy to get is easy although the payment into Paypal is in Euros so I have to do an exchange. So far I think I am getting about 50p every two days for very little work and sometimes, some fun.  It comes within a day.

My future app testing plans

I may well explore app testing further. There are other places to earn by testing apps, and it makes sense to look at a few more. 

Now of course, I am hoping to earn something with my review and that is a bonus. At least I have proved it is possible to make a little pin money online without a lot of effort. 

I have not named the app as I think this goes against TOC on LiteracyBase, where posts are concerned, but it is easy enough to do a search on Google Play.
