The short answer
appKarma is not a scam. It does reward you for completing the tasks it offers, and I show payment proof in my videos. It is owned by the same company that developed CashKarma.
You earn mostly by downloading and playing mobile games. It will not be that fast to earn, because an offer takes time to complete. It is mostly relevant if you like playing mobile games. Then it can be a nice way to earn a bit extra while having fun.

- Available globally
- Responsive support
- You get points back when you redeem a reward

Is appKarma legit and safe?
Yes, appKarma is safe and legit. It does reward you for completing the tasks it offers. But that does not automatically mean it is a good way for you to earn. Here is what you should know.
- Offers take time
For most offers you download a game and play it to a certain level. That takes a certain amount of time. So it will not be that fast to earn.
- Paid offers take longer to approve
How long it takes before an offer is approved depends on the offer. If it is an offer you had to pay for, it can take a month or so, because any refund period has to be over first.
- It is free. Nobody should ask you to pay.
appKarma is completely free to join and use. A reader was told the app costs $25. If someone tells you that, it sounds like someone is trying to scam you.
- The points system can confuse
How much your points are worth depends on when you take out your earnings. $10 costs 14,500 points, but $50 costs 52,500 and $100 costs 100,000. So it often pays to wait with the cashout.
- Apps take storage
You get bonus rewards if you keep a game and play it each day. Only do this with games you really like, because many apps eat up the storage of your phone.
My takeappKarma, in my opinion, is a decent app to join, especially if you like playing mobile games. But if you really want to be very efficient in earning, this is not the ideal option for you. Make no mistake, though: you will be able to earn from it, and you will be able to do it while having fun.
How you earn on appKarma
There are 6 ways to earn. Game offers are the main one. Tap one to read more.
Karma Play: game offersMain earner
You get offers to download mobile games. Each offer shows the reward and the condition, usually to reach a certain level. When you have done it, you go back to appKarma and click the offer again to claim the reward.
You get bonus rewards if you keep the game and play it each day.
Playtime rewardsPaid per minute
You download other games and earn per minute you play. It will not give huge rewards, but some games pay more than others, and it is a very fast way to earn some extra points.
Watch videos1–5 points each
Go to the bonus section in the bottom right corner and click “Video Rewards”. There are not a lot of videos every day, and it does not pay a lot. The rewards can be delayed from time to time.
Achievement badgesBonus points
You unlock a badge when you reach a milestone, and each badge gives points. As long as you keep logging in and doing activities, you will unlock most of them.
Daily rewards and scratch cardsSeconds a day
You claim a daily reward just by checking in. You get it as a scratch card, where you can win free points.
Referral program30% commission
When a friend joins and becomes an active member, you get a 30% commission on their earnings. If you have a platform to promote your link, you can apply for a VIP membership with unlimited referrals.

How much can you make?
It mostly depends on how active you are. Most of the offers reward you with points in the hundreds. So appKarma does pay you rather decently.
But you have to invest a certain amount of time just to complete an offer. So it will not be that fast to earn.
The big strength of appKarma is that it can be fun to earn, as you mostly earn by playing games.
Payout methods and what they cost in points
| Reward | Points needed | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PayPal $3 | 5,250 | The lowest PayPal amount |
| PayPal $10 | 14,500 | You get 725 points back when you redeem it |
| PayPal $50 | 52,500 | Fewer points per dollar |
| PayPal $100 | 100,000 | The best rate |
| Gift cards | From $1 | For example Amazon. Which cards you can get depends on your country. |
You can also withdraw $5 or $25 with PayPal. You get a certain number of points back for redeeming a reward, so it acts like a cashback. Not many apps offer this kind of reward system.
If you want gift cards, see also the best sites that pay in Amazon gift cards.
Is appKarma worth it in your country?
Anyone with a mobile device can join appKarma. The offers and gift cards differ per country. Pick your country to see where appKarma stands on my list of the best sites there.

“Is it true that you need to pay 25$ for you to be able to have the app.”
Mikael: No, it is completely free to join and use. Where did you see that it costs money? Sounds like someone is trying to scam you.
“It looks like you all have a lot of bad reviews on the app store so I don’t know.”
Mikael: Review in the app store can be good to look at BUT is something I do not fully trust.

Hi mike
I want to ask you without invite friends and also answer surveys?
Regarding Ntombi
Not sure what you mean?
Is it true that you need to pay 25$ for you to be able to have the app. I am from South Africa.
No, it is completely free to join and use. Where did you see that it costs money? Sounds like someone is trying to scam you.
Am from East Africa a country called KENYA.. And I have never used PayPal or seen one. So I need help in this can it be downloaded or can I just use my mobile phone number to receive cash from the appKarma
I do not think PayPal is available in your country, so you need to choose other payout options instead, if that is the case.
I hope you do not cheat my confidence.
I explain exactly how it works and what you can expect in the review above based on my experiences, and then it is up to you to decide if it is the right option for you or not.
Must you have the PayPal app on your device for it to be included in the gift cards
No, you do not need the PayPal app.
They said that the referrer’s account is no longer in use.
It still works fine when I test it.
Ok I’ll try again
You can use this one
https://xkr.ma/s9aehUGAKFb
But it offers 300 sign up points
https://xkr.ma/s9aehUGAKFb
It looks like you all have a lot of bad reviews on the app store so I don’t know.
Review in the app store can be good to look at BUT is something I do not fully trust. For one because usually people that are happy about an app cannot be bothered to go and write a review. You probably know from yourself also that if you are happy about something you are not going to write a review but if you are not happy about it, you are more likely to write a review.
Secondly, earning apps and websites like this have a lot of fraud and blcok people that commit fraud. A big part of these get upset they get caught and then complain they do not get paid even though they actually tried to cheat.
Anyways, the above is my real experiences with it. I am not saying it is an app for all as you need to do it with the right expectations. But I have used it for years and always been paid without problems.

Good Mikael this is Michael from Namibia.

It is: paidfromsurveys
I am here to do something new
Ok. Welcome.
Appkarma is a great site to make some extra money and it is fun and time keeping as you earn with your time you invested in.
Thanks for sharing your experiences about this.
Btw – the promotional link you shared has, of course, been blocked as I do not allow promotions like that in the comment section. If you want to earn by referring people, you need to learn to do it properly without spam and without trying to hijack comment sections etc. You can read how to get referrals properly here, if you want to learn it the proper way.
Mal ne frage hab eib Angebot fertig wie lange dauert fas bis es mir angezeigt wird und die Punkte da sind ist jetz 3 Tage her oder so hab auch email gesendet an euch mit Screenshots aber keine Antwort oder so bekommen
How long it will take for the offer to be approved depends on the offer. For some offers, it can be a month or so if it is an offer you had to pay for as they then need to first make sure any refund period etc. is over.
For others it will only take a few hours. So it really depends. But the best is to contact their support and ask them.
Let me know how it goes.
I have not use a referral code, so am waiting to get it from your side to enable me to complete the process
It is in the review above – just go to the section about referral code and you can find it there.
Sorry but i can’t my referral code please copy the link and leave it in the comment section
You can see a referral code in the section above called “appKarma referral code”.
I have unfortunately created an account before using your sign up code. Would you be able to get it to me so I don’t have to make a second account?
If you have not already used a referral code, you can still use mine even after signing up. You then just need to use the code “paidfromsurveys” where you can input the code and then you will get the 500 points.
Let me know how it goes.
