Apps That Pay You Money – The Best Money Making Apps UK

When you’re wanting (or needing) to make a bit of extra money each month, a good option to consider is using apps that pay you money for things like completing tasks, taking photos, answering questions and even playing games.

Whilst using each individual app on its own won’t make a huge amount of money, when you combine using a few of them together you can build up some nice earnings.

One of the biggest advantages of using these apps to make money is the flexibility. You can earn completely on your own schedule, so they’re a great easy option for just using whenever you have a few minutes spare time.

We’ve put together a huge list of the best money making apps to put some extra cash in your pocket, just from using your smartphone.

AttaPoll

AttaPoll is a paid survey app, which allows you to earn some extra money for just sharing your opinion. AttaPoll connects you with a wide range of companies and organizations that are looking for your views and opinions to create new products and services. Or, of course, improve the existing ones.

Every completed survey, depending on its length, rewards you with money. When you reach a target amount (as low as $3, or your currency equivalent), you can cash out to your PayPal or donate your money. In some countries, you can choose various gift cards, or Revolut as your cash-out method. Basically, AttaPoll is an app that pays you for all finished surveys you are generating.
