Slidejoy - Lock Screen Cash for Android
Update: this app used to be an awesome way to earn an extra $10-$20 monthly. It's partnered with companies that supposedly allow you to earn additional points by watching videos, surveys, download apps, etc. Even though it shows that you have multiple surveys available, only 5% are open to you and many don't apply points once completed. This has become a poor excuse for what was a novel idea. I've used this since the beginning but may soon delete and look elsewhere to sell my lockscreen to advertisers. :(
The customer service fixed my issues but I still don't like to wait for a month to pass so I can get redeemable points. I believe you should have redeemable points every time you log in and do the surveys or scratch off cards. If slide joy did the app like this then they would be able to get better reviews and they get paid when we get paid so the faster we get paid the faster they get paid so it would be a win win.
This is the worst of many of these apps that I've tried. It's hard to tell how much money the points are worth and it doesn't really say when you make them. But the biggest problem is not being able to redeem when you want. If you've made the money you should be able to get the gift cards when you've made enough, not wait another month until you've made enough for half another one and won't be able to cash it all out.
The only downside is that you have ads on your lockscreen. Sometimes there's interesting things! And did you know they give you free money? Lol.. you have to wait until the 18th of every month to get that money.. it's usually between 2 and 6 dollars unless you don't cash in for a few months. You can redeem for paypal money or gift cards (choosing from a variety of popular brands including nike and papa johns or Sephora.. even Amazon!). Really easy! :)
I have tried several ways to combat the battery drain for the phone but it is still a problem . My sleep settings for the phone is either one minute or two minutes. I just charged my phone and within 10 minutes my battery was down from 100% charge to 70%. The ad seems to run even when I am not using my phone. Not sure what else to do except disable it often. I appreciate the suggestion
As far as these kind of apps go this one has been pretty good. Ive had it for a few weeks, and have almost 2000 points, which equates to roughly 2$. It doesn't sound like much, but similar apps I've tried were much more intrusive with less payout. I haven't gotten enough points to cash in yet though, this is juat based on usability so far.
They do not provide adequate compensation to their customers. My battery life has been reduced to half the life without the app. The minimal compensation they provide is not worth having to charge my phone twice as much. It is also really suspicious how many random unamed "google users" are rating it 5 stars...really odd
Prices are too high. Most of all, it is extremely annoying, because even when I already swiped the ads, they kept appearing. One app wouldn't load because every time I pressed it, an ad pooped up over, and over and over again. I uninstalled the app and THE ADS ARE STILL THERE!
This app used to be the best money making app. I used to be able to cash out 5 dollars at a time. Then they started holding back money and changing the rates. Became greedy. Ever since the changed the points from 100s to 1000s, they decreased the worth of your points. Now they hold your money for several months, and you can only cash out 2 dollars at a time. The other 2-3 dollars is locked until couple months later. They do it on purpose so u won't delete the app knowing u still have $ in your account. Greedy Greedy Greedy. If I didn't desperately need the extra petty cash, I would delete it
After using this app for well over a year I was impressed. Now, not at all. Account has been banned due to 'abuse'. Have had no response to my email. Can't understand how I've 'abused' the account as all I do is use the lock screen. Waste of time.
I like SlideJoy I had redeemed $10 in total so far, better than the others I have tried. Not fond of the new payout date but understand. But now not happy of new increase of carats needed to cash out. I liked being able to cash out $5. Now I have to wait longer in order to do so cause I dont always get carats from the apps.
Hi this app is awesome. Great at earning money but there is only one problem the redeem option, I would say are limited, because there is only PayPal to redeem points and facebook with two others which are not very popular. So think if other redeemable options are available like Steam and Amazon as well as e-bay it would be great, like shown in the pictures. I hope you consider the improvement idea it would help a whole lot. Thank you hope you see review and reply.
Bitcoin payouts are offered through snapcardIO which is now debunked... use coinbase and offer ethereum payouts too. Fix this and I will certainly fix my review. Also I use my phone the same amount as last year... the point accumulation is horrid now... what happened?
The rewards for scratchers are way to low. We already know the chance to win is more than a million, and then you give us one carat. It kinda feels like your spitting in our face and calling it water. Otherwise, interface is easy, haven't had a chance to try to cash out, but I'll be back once I have.
It does exactly what it says. Getting used to closing out the ads when you unlock your phone isn't bad. Now its just a habit that I'm used to. Get paid to do nothing? Yeah, sure.
The customer service can be touch and go, but they seem to work out these kinks as quickly as possible. I have been on Slidejoy for well over a year and I get a $5 giftcard every 2-3 months. Well worth it. 100% recommend.
I had this app for several months and I had earned over 30$ in rewards. I have never received the rewards. Even after contacting customer service. They just ignores my emails. What a scam. Don't waste your time.
Didn't give cashout. Unable to cashout carots as it always shows some error. I have a verified PayPal account still I am not getting cashout. I contacted customer service but they didn't responded till now. Totally waste.
A lot of android users use this app so please make a Play card for us. Also i dont get points when swiping? I donk know if thats a bug but please fix it :)
This app is super cool, but the scratch card system doesn't let me use my Carats to buy more before they're replenished again for some reason. I tell it to give me more for however many Carats and it just doesn't for some reason... That and my "Redeemable Now" balance seems to be going down. It started as the standard 20 carats, lowered to 2, and now it's 0. Fix these problems and you'll get five stars from me!
Starts out great, but as time goes on you dont make as much. Decent choices for gift cards and whatnot. Trying to get extra carats can be a fail, the apps you use to get the extra stuff doesnt always get you any carats and than you wasted time. Ok app, but can use some work
I made a whole $.70 in a week! What a deal! Even playing the games and scratch cards! I didn't think I could make so much in a whole week! That's like a whole dime a day! U gotta try it! Totally worth the time and effort! Or u could just get a job!
First month i earn $3 ... 2nd month $4 ... and i got this free money I am pretty happy with this app.. I deleted all other money making apps from my phone and using Slidejoy with joy... good work keep it up... thx
It's not that efficient but you can make money.But can you make bigger numbers redeemable? Cause I've been wanting to use my 2,000 carats for ages but I can redeem it...it would be great thanks :D
This app used to ne decent but when you now have to wait over 5 to 6 months just to cash out 5.00, it sucks. Yes, you can download stuff but because other apps offer the same thing, you run out of stuff you want to download and such. Terrible, not what it used to be at all. Fronto is the best now.
Was my favorite and a 5 star app. The payout has decreased so much it takes months to cash out 2 dollars. Used to be at least 4$ a month. Very disappointed
App is waste. Loads adds easily each time unlocking the phone. But during entire day it accumulates only 10 to 20 points only . I am observing from around 1 week. I don't know this guy's really pay or not. If they pay also it's not worth to the adds you watch during the day. You will end up watching adds 100 times and this app gives 20 points each day and you have to make 2000 points to encash. They say some algorithm and all but all fake. They make money we end up loosing data and battery and time. Don't go for it.
It's a great application for earning rewards. I was skeptical at first, but after seeing that earning carats were not hard, i kept the app and waited for updates. It was worth it. Hopefully you add a homescreen widget that allows you to see your carats and the earn history of carats over 2 days in a line graph. Which would allow to see activity.
I have made some money with this app. Beware of the offers page. Bait and switch, spam, broken links are the norm. I feel Slide Joy should monitor the offers page for quality.
In the starting they will give right amount of carats but slowly slowly they will decrease number of carats , no matter how much you see ads..... So evil
My mobile phone is Huawei Honor 7.The ads don't load so I can't swipe and earn carats. I've had this problem for the last 4/5 months. If you resolve the problem I Will give you 5 stars. Otherwise i Will delete slidejoy. I Hope you'll resolve the problem as soon as possible. Warm wishes.
Same ads and same things. It's boring watching same things on screen. Why there is no better options. Also carat drop rate is very less. Hope you consider this one.
Complete scam! Doesn't award points for completed surveys. Customer support doesn't respond to emails, even though screenshots of completed surveys provided. Doesn't award points. Customer support doesn't respond. Complete scam! Avoid!
When you first start you get alot of carrots each day, like 100 to 400 every day. Though after a week or two you start to only get about 10 to 50 carrots a day when you are unlocking you screen and exploring the adds the same amount as when you first started.
It's a waste of time for no payout. I'm reading reviews from people that have had the app before, and I'm disappointed. Screw their petty 1 or 2 dollars every 3 months. I'm deleting it. Anyone that's debating on whether they should download it, dont. It's a waste of memory space and time AND effort.
I knew this app was going downhill when you changed the dollar amount of carats from 100 to 1000 in order to offer less money for tasks. The apps that you download for carats always paid out half the time and now you have sunken to an all time low offering scratch offs that dont have a chance of winning, like we'd believe for a second you'd give away $10,000. Im very disappointed in the developers and I think its time that ive said goodbye to slidejoy.
Sildejoy used to be decent. Now I'm lucky if I can get $3 a month. All of the extra ways to get points are scammy garbage. Spend 45 minutes of your life on a survey for ten cents. Spend $10 in some app and get 50 cents in points. But only if it registers that you've completed the task. Which it won't. Come on.
Takes forever to get any money at all i have had this app for two months now and i use it every day but i still haven't even gained a more than a thousand carrats. It's super slow at earning money
I love this app, but I am honestly getting sick of watching ads and not being rewarded by the scratch cards. The scratch cards work sometimes and sometimes they just decide not to reward anyone(latest update)
by B####:
I have used lots of those unlock screen reward app and their always so slow or never reward you. But this app really work. I have it for a while now. The only huge draw back, from when it started is cashout per month being on the 18th. Other than that it great. Download and forget it. I have invited my friends to join but as usually their do not want to risk it. Great up continue with this great service
