The smartphone apps that offer you the opportunity to earn money are often called “beermoney apps”. This is because they won’t make you rich or become your main income source, but could earn you enough to get a case of beer or treat yourself to a nice dinner in a restaurant. Although the number of scam apps which are looking to waste your time at best is high, there are some legit apps that you can turn to. They mostly require you to do some simple tasks from your home like taking surveys, watching videos, or trying out new apps. These apps offer different kinds of payments for your engagement, ranging from real money to gift cards.

They include product testing, mystery shopping and photographing products in stores. Some can be worth as high as $25.

Google Play Rating: 3.8
iTunes Rating: 3.5
Now, this is a bit different entry compared to others on our list of apps like Gigwalk, Field Agent and Easyshift. It will require you to do some harder jobs but you’ll get paid more. The app basically connects people who need someone to assemble the furniture, deliver groceries or do other simple errands with people who will do it. There are some users who are making their living solely with the incomes from the app. The bad thing is that the app is only available in major cities in The United States and some cities in the UK.
