BananaBucks App Review: Legit? (Full Truth Revealed)

BananaBucks is an app that claims you can earn money simply by sharing your opinion.

Over the years, I have seen many apps make that claim, and not all of them do what they promise.

So if you are interested in this app and are wondering if it is legit or just another scam, then I recommend you keep reading this BananaBucks app review.

I have thoroughly tested the app to see how it works and how it stacks up with other apps that make the same claim.

In this review, I will reveal the full truth of what the app has to offer, so you will know exactly what to expect from it. Then, you can make an informed decision on whether this app is truly worth it or not.

What is BananaBucks, and what does it offer?

BananaBucks is a survey app that will allow you to earn by answering surveys. It is indeed a legit app because you will really earn money by completing surveys.

But this doesn’t automatically mean the app is worth using. To figure that out, you must first understand how it works, and the best way to do that is to examine the earning opportunity it offers. That way, you’ll get a clear picture of how much time and effort is required to earn from it.

For that, I have made a video that gives you an inside look and shows exactly how you can earn from BananaBucks. You can also read all the details below the video.

The earning opportunity – Paid Surveys

The only way to earn from this app is to answer its paid surveys. Once you log in to the app, you will immediately see all the available surveys you can answer.

However, if it’s your first time opening the app, you will only see two surveys. One will pay you $1 to complete it, while the other is a profile survey that will pay you $0.50 for completing it.

These two surveys are quite unique because you don’t have to go through a qualifying process. You are automatically qualified for them. All you have to do is answer them, and you will receive the rewards.

Now, after you’ve answered the two preliminary surveys, you will see all the “real” surveys you can work on.

For most of these surveys, you’ll have to go through a qualifying process. Plus, don’t be alarmed if you are taken to a different website/app when answering these surveys because BananaBucks has partnered with other survey providers to provide you with more surveys to answer.

Now, if you fail to qualify for these surveys, you will not be able to continue to the actual survey and earn the reward. When that happens, you just have to move on to the next survey available (if there are any).

If you qualify, though, you get to answer the actual survey, and once you complete it, you will receive the reward. However, the first thing I noticed was that after answering the preliminary surveys, the succeeding surveys didn’t pay as much.

So, it can take some time before you will earn a significant amount from this app. There also aren’t a lot of surveys available, so don’t be alarmed if you open the app and there aren’t any surveys available for you.

The one constant opportunity you will see is their “Daily Poll” survey. This is a one-question survey that will not ask you to go through a qualifying process. You just have to answer this survey and earn $0.02, which isn’t much, but at least it only takes a few seconds to complete.

How do you get paid?

Every time you complete a survey, the reward will be credited to your BananaBucks account balance. Once you’ve earned at least $5, you’ll be able to withdraw your earnings via PayPal (refer to the photo below).

This is the only payment method BananaBucks offers, so if you decide to become a member of this app, you have to make sure you have a verified PayPal account first.

Overall, I would say the payment system of BananaBucks is relatively straightforward. I like the fact that it offers payment via PayPal, which is one of the most convenient payment options available today, in my opinion.

If you are interested in more apps/sites that offer a convenient payment method, I recommend you also check out the top sites that pay via PayPal.

How much money can you make?

As I’ve mentioned earlier, apart from the initial two surveys that will be offered to you, most of the other surveys on BananaBucks won’t pay you a lot. Usually, you can only earn around $0.20 to $0.50 per survey you manage to complete.

Plus, you have to keep in mind that you won’t always qualify for the surveys offered to you. So your potential earnings will be reduced even further.

Overall, I would say the earning potential of BananaBucks is quite low, which makes their low payout threshold a bit irrelevant because it will still take some time before you will be able to hit it to withdraw your earnings.

The one upside about BananaBucks’ survey is that it doesn’t take a long time to complete one. You can, in many cases, literally complete a survey in just a couple of minutes, so it’s not a huge waste of time, in my opinion.

Can you use it on a desktop?

BananaBucks is a mobile-only platform, so you will need to use a mobile device to earn from it. The good thing is that the app is available for both Android and iOS devices. You will not encounter any compatibility issues when installing this app.

It is also relatively easy to use, and you won’t encounter any annoying pop-up ads while using it. Overall, the user experience it provides is quite decent, in my opinion, which is all you can ask for from a mobile app.

Who can join BananaBucks?

The site or the app doesn’t tell you exactly which countries it is available in, but as far as I can tell, it is available more or less worldwide.

To find out if it is available in your country, just go to your app store and search for it. If it appears among the results, then it is available in your country. If it doesn’t, then you should just look for other ways to earn.

Now, as for how to sign up, it’s a bit weird because after you install the app, you will actually be able to open it and answer surveys immediately.

While that works just fine, the problem is if you uninstall the app, you will lose all your earnings because it isn’t associated with any account. So, just to be safe, you have to sign up as a member to keep your earnings.

Normally, with other survey apps, you’ll go through a sign-up process after you open the app for the first time. But with BananaBucks, you will only be able to sign up if you open the app and go to the account settings. Once you are on that page, just press the “Sign-up” button and fill out the form. After you’ve done that, you have to check your email inbox because BananaBucks will send you an email with a verification code.

Just copy the code and input it in the corresponding field on the app to complete your registration. Once you’ve done this, you will be able to access your BananaBucks account from different devices and still keep the earnings.

Can you get support?

The app doesn’t have a FAQ page you can check out, but the website does. However, it only discusses a few basic topics. So if you have any questions about the app or your account and the FAQ page can’t answer them, you’ll have to get in touch with their support team.

To do so, you can use the contact form provided by the website, or you can click the Contact Us link inside the app, and it will open your email app. But if you don’t have an email app installed on your mobile device, nothing will happen.

That’s why it would be better if you just use the contact form provided on the website, in my opinion. Overall, I would say the app provides decent support for its members since it offers a couple of ways for you to ask for assistance.

Final Verdict

BananaBucks is a legit survey app that will reward you for answering surveys. It has a couple of good features, but it also has some limitations you need to know.

Let me conclude this review by summarizing its pros and cons to give you an overview of what the app has to offer. Then, you can decide if BananaBucks is really worth it or not.

BananaBucks is not a bad survey app, in my opinion. However, it’s not that good, either. The one good thing about this app is that it is very straightforward. You answer surveys to earn rewards, and once you’ve earned enough, you can withdraw it via PayPal. That’s all there is to it.

It can serve as a decent secondary app to earn from, in my opinion, but you have to set your expectations properly. Don’t expect to earn a lot from this app, even though it pays a decent amount for the first couple of surveys.

The succeeding surveys won’t pay you a lot, so it will take a bit of time to earn a decent amount from them. So if you are looking for primary ways to earn extra cash, I suggest you check out the top survey and GPT sites in your country instead.

The sites on this list all have good earning potential, so it won’t take a lot of time to earn a good amount.
