I absolutely LOVE the way this company is doing product evaluation and testing. The surveys are basically the same every time so you know what to expect in terms of questions and time required to complete them. They pay the same every time, and instead of most sites where it's like $0.01 for taking a 45-minute survey, they give you $3 for usually less than 15 minutes of your time. Best of all-- You don't have to go through an hour of qualification questions just to get told you don't qualify or earn anything! The money adds up quickly and I've earned $100-200 each year from this. Probably one of the best side cash apps out there that doesn't violate your privacy or ask suspicious questions. I've even been sent several products to try out, which is super cool and fun, and can earn you more money sometimes. And it's fun to go to a store and be like, "I helped product test that thing!"
Yes, the website and app especially can be buggy, but I've never had any serious problems. They don't really have a limit on what you can cash out after the first time, so I usually just do it about every $15-24 just in case something does happen with their website. You can also buy things with points but I prefer the flexibility of currency. They don't have Paypal cash-out anymore, which is sad, especially since the other alternatives can take quite a while longer, but they have other good options too. I've used the virtual wallet, and while it does take extremely long to work, it does work. Karen Scott is usually pretty good about answering questions and helping with issues as well over email.
So yeah, more of a review of the company than the app, but if they just had better developers, this could easily be the best (and actually legit) side cash and product-testing app out there. Just so many good things to say about the company, despite its weaknesses in programming.

Tip for consumers:
A lot of the things are glitchy but usually if you are patient and contact Karen directly through email, or the third-party customer service, they can help.

Products used:
I only use cash-out services and have not bought any products from the site.
