Have use COIN for over 5 years now. App is legit and one of the best passive apps out there that pays for surveys/ads/game installs our there. But why the review left after 5 years of playing? The COIN Support team. I have never had an issue while playing until yesterday. They resolved a missing NFT purchase within 24 hours. I pretty much was thinking it would be 100% loss on my part but the support team did not give up and was able to fix the issue. Thank you!
It's possible to make enough to cash in for crypto, and that's why this app gets an extra star. It will, however take an extraordinary amount of time to do so as most surveys you won't qualify for and all the games are ad based and will take you a month or more to complete the tasks. Couple that with them not paying out the exchanges anymore, and all your left with is a lot of wasted time. Customer service is of no use, so user beware.
not bad, could be a whole lot better. you play 25 mental exercise games and get 25 coins, you play more than 25 games, you still only get 25 coins, so what's the point of playing more than 25? For the travel mode it's the same nonsense. The rewards don't match up with your efforts put in. Stingy and stupid. Fix this please. The Sentinel X card really should do way more than it does. Fix this please.
Honestly they need to review their subscription plans and how they affect their users. All of the sub plans give 3x speed except for the middle which is 2x and that is weird. You get a 10% bonus on the middle tier for games and surveys but doesn't increase at the third, and their Master plan (is $100) is hidden behind having a bunch of friends come on with you (realistically). Basically after the 2nd tier you're being forced to indulge more time in order to break even. Despite it still good 1
the 10,000 is an achievable amount if you spend all day doing surveys, games, geo-mining, and more. However, the features aren't explained that well, it's a figure it out as you go experience. I had the app before on a previous device, and they have not calculated that in my account age. That and you have to email to cancel a subscription. But with the trial I got the points in less than 2 weeks the minimum account age to redeem. but $4 worth of crypto now with beginner bonuses vs long term?
I gave it 6 weeks. 2 free and 4 on the pro plan. I agree with a previous review that it suddenly stopped giving me the rewards for the tasks I was used to getting them on (walking x # steps, driving home, etc). The games got harder to win coin and even with a lot of gaming it was hard to get coin. I used it while moving around and found the search for locations laggy and the navigation didnt nav. I'm not breaking even on my pro subscription. I am removing the app.
I've enjoyed using this app over about the past year, on the pro plan for most of it. The tech support has been absolutely wonderful. The three times I've had to contact them, they always replied quickly, and resolved the problem within a few days. And I got the quest 3 I redeemed my coins for, just a few days ago. Could have gotten it for free, but it would have taken a lot longer, and significantly more time. Will continue to use this coin app!
Initially, I gave this a 1 star. Now, I am updating it to 3 star because the initial glitches I was experiencing have been resolved. Now my pain point is accrual. It takes FOREVER to obtain coins. I don't have time to fill out a ton of surveys, and the games I can play are limited. Several offered require that I watch 20+ ads to earn the reward. Some games have a cap on how much you can earn per day. The prizes themselves have a wide variety, but the coin cost is exceedingly difficult to meet.
*Updated 9/7/22* It's a great app for collect coins to purchase xyo. But unless you purchase an upgraded plan or a sentinel, it's pretty much not worth it. You used to be able to do surveys to collect large amounts of coins at one time, but now you'll finish the survey and be told you don't qualify. 15 mins for 20 coins is a waste of time and really pisses me off. Probably won't be using this much longer.
25 years to my reward!! That's right. At the current pace that I am earning "Coins" with my free, non-subscription based account using the Sential X, I should have enough coins to redeem them for an Xbox One S in 25 years. They do offer a paid subscription that offers 3x the coins, but it's too expensive at $34.99/month. That whittles down the time to 8 years, but, as you have already figured out, I will have paid over $3,000 dollars to win a $300 Xbox. That's what I don't like about the app.
When you use the exercise or travel it doesn't acknowledge the distance or steps you've gone. It used to be better. Also, now it has constant pop-ups and things telling you to unmute your phone for an ad. It's too bad they had to go down this greedy way. Also it's always getting pinups to subscribe to their plan. I used this app religiously for 2 months. I didn't even earn what I would've paid a month for the subscription.
So far so good. A little deceptive with the surveys. You click on one and it says 10 mins but when you go through it, then it changes to 33mins for example. This happened more than once. A few minutes extra is one thing (5min max) but 22? That's a bit much. Other than that. All good, earn while you sleep. And various other features like earning to play games, coupon offers where you shop, etc.. I'll update this review in 3 months to post an actual amount I've made with modern usage.
Quite a few issues, let's see if customer service resolves. I emailed them already with 1 issue and they did not offer any help or resolution, only said, "sorry you're having problems". I paid subscription and it was great 1st wk, now has at least 3 "errors" which continually decrease my rewards. I emailed cs, let's see how they respond. If they don't fix the issues then it's not worth the money and I would have to say it's a scam. I'm still waiting for my large 15k coin game reward.
I've been doing the 10 dollar subscription which I chose to do. I also bought a sentinel card. Today I looked at my bank account and noticed that ever since I did both they're charging for not only my subscription, but a sort of subscription for the card which should not be there 34.95 a month. The charge has a number attached. When I call it takes you to a place that the first thing they say is they can't help with billing problems, tried to make money and I ended up going in debt. Apps a joke.
Got my Sentinel about 3 weeks ago and I'm up to a little over 12,000 XYO Tokens. Not bad but I'm not for buying a Coin+ upgrade to mine faster or more. The app itself needs work. Needs to allow mining in the background and would be cool if you could use it as a GPS while still mining. I think that the whole XYO Token has a lot of potential but it's not there yet. HODL!!!! Maybe 5-10 years down the road , this could be a good money maker.
Idea is great but it is boring and drains your battery and data like crazy. It's like if pokemon go had no fun element at all and you just walked around. Sure there's a promise of a payout maybe after a full 2 years of mining. Made more money working for 2 minutes than in 3 weeks on the app. And I was dumb enough to buy the sentinels that help essentially 0 and are the most worthless annoying things I've ever purchased. You gotta know when to cut your losses. Good riddance.
I'd like to give this a better rating. I've been making use of the app and looking forward to seeing where the crypto goes. That being said, I am paying for a pro subscription, something like $25/month for quicker refresh and bigger rewards and the like. When I'm paying monthly, I expect the app to work. But much too often the mining doesn't work while I'm traveling, pretty much the point of it. The gps works, just won't mine. When I am paying a monthly fee, this is simply unacceptable.
It's alright if you spend a lot of time on the road and don't mind streaming audio ads. If you enjoy taking surveys or installing games/apps then you'll get more pennies for your time with a specialty service that pays in cash for those activities, but it's a convenient inclusion. Customer service is a dreaded ticket system, but they DO respond. Wish there was an inbox instead of every notification popping up on the screen. Especially when driving. Worth a try.
The survey algorithm is a complete joke. Top rated surveys almost never work, and there's times where just as you click to take it, it gives you a message that you weren't a perfect fit for it. I'm signed up for a pro plan and background rewards are all over the place. Sometimes I get as little as .5, and sometimes 80+. Contests are predominantly always won by basic plan users, so there's no incentive to pay for the pro plan, so then what's the point?? And homebase is so random as well.
App is pretty good, only problem is audio ads freeze up app on my android. They don't finish and it requires a restart. Many of the video ads have very hard ways to close. They need to all have an "x", and not be the same color as the background! I hope the app and the payout amounts improve, at this point it doesn't look like it's worth paying for the pro version, and I am a trucker!
