I'm going to say this first, out of the couple of apps that I have used, this is the most time waster. Rewarded Play says that it will pay you for playing and it rewards you with 10k coins. Beware of money earning apps that give you anything for free, up front. So I have now been playing the games on this app for about 2 weeks straight and it is grueling. Rewarded Play, is tiring. The minimum payout is for $5 and that requires 45,000 coins, and the payout is a gift card only. The issue I am having, is that while it will reward you with 250 coins per 2 minutes of gameplay, per day, you have a harder time getting more than that. I am playing a game that is a 'tile matching' type of game. I am on level 36. Rewarded Play says that it will give me 550 coins if I can complete level 50. With each board taking me about 1-2 minutes and then watching a 1-2 minutes of ads, means that if I was to grind this app and get to level 51, I would only get that 550 coins. In order to get that $5 cash out, I would need to spend at least several weeks of straight grinding, I estimate.
I dislike the game apps that come up with these reward systems. Yes, I understand that they want you to stay in the app as long as possible, but their tier system of rewards is impractical. Get 100 coins for beating the tutorial, get 500 coins for getting to level 20, get 1,000 coins for beating level 50. What makes the app seem kinda like a scam, is when it points out that if you make an in-app purchase, you can gain 10,000 coins. Well, spending $3.99 in a game and being rewarded with 30 cents in which you need $5 to cash-out, is stupid. No one with a brain would do that!
The most popular game in this app, is called "CoinMaster". You get 25 spins, a couple times a day, you spin for coins and then you use the coins to build your village. You can get the chance to raid and attack other players' villages and steal some of their coins. Obvious issue with this is: you can't play longer than you have spins for. Like many other games from "Love and Pies" to "Merge Dragons", you have an energy meter and when you run out of energy, unless you make an in-app purchase and buy energy, you have to wait 12-24 hours to play again. For an app which is attempting to distract the player while it takes and sells the data from your phone, they are doing a horrible job keeping me distracted for long.
Pros:
The games are at least different and interesting
The ads don't take forever and it doesn't seem like it is all ads. I can spend a while playing a game before an ad shows up.
Cons:
Takes too long of game playing to get the lowest reward.
Reward is only a gift card and not cash.
Most games have an energy meter meaning that in order to progress faster in the game, you need to spend money.
My take-away is that after receiving my $5 Amazon gift card last night, I immediately uninstalled all 6 games and this app from my phone. Some of the games I had installed from this app, had reached their full potential of payouts and wouldn't pay anymore. I had to keep them installed, or else I wouldn't get rewards from them at all. And I also had to get new games to get enough points to get that minimum withdraw. Don't bother with this one.
