Earning money from your smartphone is one of the easiest and most convenient ways to make extra money. There was an app called AppTrailers where you could earn money with your smartphone, however these days AppTrailers is no more. Let’s take a look at the previous AppTrailers app as well as some fantastic alternatives now the app is closed.
What was AppTrailers?
If you were looking for an app to make free money then AppTrailers was a Google Play store app where you could earn money from your smartphone.
It had over 1 million downloads on the Google Play store, so a lot of people had tested out this money making app.
How did you make money on AppTrailers?
To make money from AppTrailers you had to play app adverts on your device and earn points, which could then be converted into various gift cards, or PayPal cash.
10 points – $0.01
250 points – $0.25
500 points – $0.50
1000 points – $1
HeyCash – great AppTrailers alternative
HeyCash is one of my favourite apps to earn money from completing surveys and playing games on your phone.
Once you’re reached 5,000 points you are then eligible to cash out every time you’ve earned £1, and the payout is almost instant.
You can choose from Paypal, Amazon gift cards or over 150 other gift cards.
Five Surveys
Five Surveys is a website and app that does exactly what it says. Once you have completed 5 surveys you will have earned £5, which you can cash out immediately and receive your money almost instantly.
You can also boost your earnings by playing games from the app.
You can choose from Paypal, Amazon gift cards or over 150 other gift cards.
Earn £150 with Cashback.co.uk
Cashback.co.uk does what it says on the tin.
Complete 15 tasks to cashout, with an average pay out of £150.
The tasks involve testing out websites and trials (including free trials) as well as completing offers and more.

AppTrailers alternative – Survey Pop
Complete short and sweet surveys with the SurveyPop app to earn rewards such as Paypal cash and Amazon gift cards.
The payment threshold is just £4, so it is fun to make a goal to cash out every week from this app.
Influence App
Your opinion matters, so you should get paid for it!
Get paid for submitting short video responses to the Influence app.
This app is easy to use and your earnings accumulate quickly – paying out via Paypal.
Testing time
Testing Time is one of my favourite websites for earning money from market research studies, focus groups and website testing.
With this website you get to try out new products, services and websites and give your feedback, then earn cash paid straight into your Paypal account.
Respondent
Respondent is one of the busiest market research websites out there.
You will find plenty of opportunities to apply for and the key is to apply for opportunities regularly! If you can, check in every 2 – 3 days and apply for suitable tasks to stand a good chance of getting picked.
SurveySpin app – AppTrailers alternative

Another similar one with a £4 payment threshold is .

Testing websites is just one of the multitude of ways to make money on Swagbucks.

AppTrailers
This information is purely informative about the old AppTrailers app and is no longer relevant since the app is obselete.
Simply visit the Google Play Store and download ‘AppTrailers’. Then to get started, open up the device and tap on settings to enter your email address. If you want to be paid via PayPal then this must be your PayPal email address.
Now that you’ve started, click on ‘Apps’ at the bottom to watch advertising videos. The ones with a yellow/orange colour are the only you can only do once, but when you scroll down further there are videos for 2 or 5 points. You can watch these over and over again – firstly load a video, and once the advert has played you can press ‘done’ in the top left corner and you’ll earn your points. You can then press watch again, and just watch the video all over again, for as long as you want. This is because AppTrailers earn their money from these advertising videos.
You can also earn more points by downloading the free apps, as well as writing comments for them. Personally, I’ve found this to be more hassle than it is worth, especially as the app doesn’t register that you’ve downloaded and played with an app for quite some time. There’s also a free daily scratch card where you can win points – you will find this under the ‘redeem’ tab.

When can I cash out with AppTrailers?
Once you’ve earned 500 points you can redeem them for $0.50 via PayPal. Unlike other websites paying you via PayPal, you aren’t charged fees on the money that you earn, and it is in your account within 60 seconds. You do need to have a verified PayPal account for this. I had issues with my payments not sending, so I contacted support with a screenshot of my verified PayPal account, and it was sorted within 12 hours. Other rewards include scratch cards, Xbox points, Google Play credit, Steam credit and much more. As you earn more points you can also reach new levels, where benefits include earning more points!
Was it worth using AppTrailers?
AppTrailers wasn’t a very high paid app to use, but if you were on your phone anyway (such as watching tv or on your commute) then you might as well try to make extra money from using AppTrailers.
These days you are better off using HeyCash, Five Surveys or Respondent.
