There are a million different apps you can use on your phone at any time of day. However, there are some apps that will make you money while you’re using it. Yes, you can make money with it. While there are many out there, here are some of the ones you can trust and should download.

Qriket-

About: Qriket is a startup company founded by a guy named Jonny Camparelli. All you do is spin a wheel that gives out a random amount of money, and if the wheel lands on whichever color you picked (blue or yellow), you win that amount. You can cash out at any time with PayPal.

Pros: Jonny is giving out free spin codes ALL THE TIME. (Psst: if you sign up with my referral code, 6200B9, I receive $1 and you receive 25 free spins!) Follow him at @jcomparel on Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat and you can get spin codes. Another pro is that you do make a good amount of money. I’ve only been playing for a month and I’ve made $9.

Cons: You only get 8 free spins every 16 hours by watching ads. The ads are pretty much the same every day so it gets a bit boring. Also, the random amounts of money are mostly rigged. I’ve made my $9 off of 5 cent wins and the occasional 10 or 15. If a random amount is say, $5 or even $1, you most likely won’t win that amount.

 

Ibotta-

About: This app gives you money back for the groceries you buy. You can unlock those coupons for the week, and then after you buy your groceries, you scan both the item and the receipt and you will receive money back into a balance.

Pros: There are some rewards occasionally for these rebates. I received an extra $10 with my first rebate, and there are other giveaways throughout the month. You can also choose which grocery store you’re shopping at (they even have convenience stores!) and there are no-name coupons, which means you can get money back for any brand of yogurt, bread or cereal. The coupons also change every week.

Cons: The hardest part with Ibotta is that their coupons are mostly the same every week, with only a few changing. Many are name-brand, so you have to buy a certain brand. And if there aren’t good coupons the week you go grocery shopping, you won’t get any money back. Also, in order to cash out to PayPal, you must have made at least $20.

 

Slicethepie-

 

You can visit the website here

About: This is actually a website online to use. You sign up and can review songs, where you will then receive any amount of money between $0.02 and $0.25. As you keep reviewing, you will have a better rating and more money.

Pros: If you like listening to music, it’s great to make money with. You can just sit and write reviews all day with something in exchange. Another pro is that once you review more, you could get up to a 5-star rating and start making that $0.25 for each song.

Cons: Because the money amount is so little, it takes a long time to make that $10 needed to cash out. You can review 50 songs and still only make $2. Some songs are also very bad and it gets hard to figure out what you need to say. You can’t choose which songs you hear and with some, the artists remain anonymous, so you may be forced to listen to only country one day and only rap the next.
