Introduction to Passive Earning Apps: A Realistic Review

Hey everyone, Vince here! Today I’m diving into a bunch of passive earning apps that claim to pay you for doing nothing. These apps all come from the same developer, and the goal of this video is to filter out the ones that are just a waste of time. Now, it’s important to note that these apps can work differently depending on where you are. Just because an app is legit doesn’t mean it’s worth the time, especially when it comes to earning real money. So, let’s take a closer look at what’s actually going on behind the scenes.


The Common Setup of These Apps and How They Work

So here’s how these apps generally work: when you open them, you’re greeted with a basic interface, and all you have to do is hit the play button. Then, the app starts showing ads, and that’s how they make their money. You’re getting a small percentage of the ad revenue, and that’s what gets credited to your account. The apps all have timers, counters for gold coins per hour, and track your progress as you keep the app running. While you’re not really doing anything, these apps just keep earning in the background. But here's the catch: the longer you leave them open, the more tabs your browser gets flooded with. It’s a simple system, but whether it’s worth your time is still up for debate.


Earnings Breakdown: How Much You Can Expect Per Hour

In terms of earnings, don’t expect to retire off of this. I ran through a bunch of these apps for an hour each, and most of them earned me just a few cents. For example, Boat Away earned me 14 cents in one hour, and Glow Fairy barely made it to 12 cents. Other apps like Samurai Attack and Magic Stones were even lower. Some apps offer up to 30 cents per hour, but overall, the pay rates were pretty disappointing. With all 13 apps combined, I ended up with just about $1.61 for 13 hours of passive earning. It’s definitely not something you’d want to rely on for a consistent income.


Major Issues: App Performance and Limitations

Now, let's talk about some of the problems I ran into. One big issue with these apps is that they take over your phone. Once you start them, you can’t really do anything else on your device until you shut them down. Also, some of these apps are glitchy – like Glow Fairy, where the app didn’t resize properly, and I couldn’t even exit out of it. I had to restart my phone just to get back to normal. Another thing to note is that there are earning caps on most of these apps. Even if you wanted to leave them running all day, you’re limited to how much you can earn each day, usually around 30 to 35 cents.


The Highest Earning Apps: Pirate Rush, Twinkle Elf, and Monster Trainer

After trying out all these apps, there were a few that stood out as better options. Pirate Rush, for example, gave me 30 cents in one hour, which was the highest rate I got from any of them. Twinkle Elf and Monster Trainer weren’t too far behind, earning around 20 to 23 cents per hour. These apps weren’t amazing, but compared to the others, they were definitely the better options to consider if you’re thinking of using one of these apps. However, even with these, you’re not going to make a lot of money in the long run.


Final Thoughts: Are These Apps Worth Your Time?

So, after testing out all these apps, it’s pretty clear that they’re not worth your time unless you’re a phone farmer who can leave multiple devices running in the background. If you're just looking for something to make a bit of extra cash, these apps don’t really cut it. Sure, you can earn a few cents here and there, but it’s not enough to justify the time spent, especially considering the performance issues and limitations like earning caps. If you’re hoping for something that will help you make money quickly and easily, these apps definitely aren’t the way to go. If you want to try them out, just go in with realistic expectations.
