Surveys On The Go is a mobile app that promises to reward you for answering surveys and sharing your data.
But is Surveys On The Go legit, though?
That is a good question to ask because before you join a mobile survey panel, it is good to check if it is legit or not. After all, you wouldn't want to waste your time on an app that won't pay you.
This Surveys On The Go review will show you what to expect so you can figure out if it's truly worth your time. Then, you can decide if you should sign up for this panel or not.
What is Surveys On The Go, and what does it offer?
As mentioned above, Surveys On The Go is a survey app that will allow you to earn when you answer their surveys. It's a pretty straightforward app, so earning is very easy.
However, to figure out if this app is truly worth your time or not, we have to consider its earning potential. And the best way to do that is to take a closer look at how you will be able to earn from this app.
I have, therefore, made a video that gives you an inside look and shows exactly how you can earn from Surveys On The Go. You can also read all the details below the video.

The earning opportunity – Paid surveys
There's only one way you can earn from this mobile app, and that is by answering paid surveys.
Once you install this app and finish registering, you can log in to their member dashboard and view all the available surveys you can take.
As you can see in the photo above, the surveys will be classified into different categories. This will make it easier for you to decide which surveys to prioritize.
The categories at the time of updating this review are Store surveys, Web + App surveys, and Standard surveys.
These categories have changed a bit since I first joined, so they might change again at some point. So, do not get confused if they are not the same.
Answering a survey is pretty simple as well. When you take a survey, you will have to answer a set of pre-qualifying questions. This is to ensure that you belong to the group the survey is intended for.
If you qualify, you get to answer the survey. If you don't, you get a small compensation for not qualifying. Once you complete the survey, you will receive the reward promised at the beginning of the offer.
Sometimes, it can take some patience to find a survey you will qualify for, and that is the main complaint I have seen about Surveys On The Go.
However, it is normal not to qualify for surveys on survey sites – that is just a part of it. But with this app, you just need to be a bit patient at times to qualify.
You do not need to log in to the app frequently just to check if surveys are available.
You will get push notifications (similar to text message alerts) when surveys are available. That makes it much more convenient to use.
If you find that annoying, you can also just turn them off and check the app regularly yourself. However, the survey option inside Surveys On The Go also has an unusual feature you need to be aware of.
When you join the app, you will have to allow location services. They call this digital sharing, and it has now become an important part of being able to qualify for surveys inside the app.
The more you move around, the more surveys you will supposedly get access to. For example, they can give you surveys about shops you have recently visited so they can track your location.
This is necessary to earn the most with Surveys On The Go. So, if you do not feel comfortable about this, you should use other survey apps instead.

How do you get paid?
Every survey you complete will earn you a certain amount. It will be credited to your Surveys On The Go account.
Once you've accumulated $10 in your account, you can request payment via PayPal. You can also choose to add the amount to your Virtual Visa account.
The good thing about this app is that you will be able to withdraw any amount as long as it meets the threshold. And payments are processed rather quickly.
So you won't have to wait that long to receive your money. But of course, delays will happen from time to time. So, don't be alarmed if you don't see your money yet. Just be patient.
If you prefer to receive gift cards instead, you also have that option. You can choose to redeem Amazon or Starbucks gift cards of the same value.
Overall, their payment method is pretty straightforward. The payout threshold is relatively low, which makes it less hard to start redeeming rewards.
If you are interested in other sites with a low payout threshold, I suggest you also check out the fastest-paying survey sites.
How much money can you make?
With survey apps, the amount of money you can make will mostly depend on how often you will receive survey offers and how often you will be able to complete one.
Seeing as you have to qualify for a survey before you are guaranteed to receive a reward, then receiving a survey offer isn't a guarantee that you have already earned something.
So, you can't expect to earn a lot from this app. The positive side of this survey app, which only a few survey apps/sites offer, is that you will earn something even if you don't qualify for a survey.
Even if it is not a lot, it is still nice to earn something for the time you spent answering the qualifying questions.
But overall, the earning potential of this survey app doesn't warrant making it a primary site/app you can earn from. However, you can still earn a decent amount from it. You just have to be patient enough.
Can you use it on a computer?
Seeing as it is a mobile-only platform, you really won't be able to use it on your desktop or laptop. You will need a mobile device to use it.
The good thing is that the app is available for both Android and iOS devices. So, compatibility won't be an issue. Plus, their app is very user-friendly. The user interface is intuitive, and you won't have a hard time getting used to it.
In fact, you will be able to navigate through the app easily the first time you use it. That's how user-friendly it is. The surveys are also easy to answer since most require multiple-choice answers.
It fits the bill. You will be able to answer surveys on the go, which is pretty impressive, in my opinion.
Who can join Surveys On The Go?
They don't specify on their website who can join, but I can tell you this much: it isn't available in all countries.
So, if you search for it on the Apple or Google app store and don't find it, it isn't available in your region.
If it is, you will only be eligible to register if you are at least 18 years of age. That's their age requirement.
It also makes sense since they are using PayPal as their primary payment method, and 18 is the age requirement for having a PayPal account.
Registering for the app is pretty easy; all you have to do is download the app and fill out the registration form, and you are good to go.
In my opinion, it would just be great if they were clearer about exactly which countries it is available in. But if you are interested after reading this review, you simply have to check in your specific country.
Can you get support?
Their app doesn't link to a support page. But if you visit their site, you will be able to see their FAQ page. It discusses some of the basic topics you need to know about the app.
Their site doesn't have a contact form. So, if you have any questions, I suggest you check out their FAQ page first.
If you can't find the answer you are looking for, you can email your question to support@surveysonthego.net. That's the only way you will be able to reach their support team. It isn't ideal, in my opinion, but at least it's a way for you to get in touch with their support team.
Also, by looking at reviews at Google Play, it is possible to see their support answers to every single person, whether they leave a positive or negative review.
This shows the support is active and cares about feedback, which is a great sign. So, overall, I'd say they do have a decent way of supporting their members. But adding an FAQ page or even a contact form in their app wouldn't hurt.
Final Verdict
Surveys On The Go is a legit mobile app that will allow you to earn extra cash by completing their surveys. There are some good qualities you can find in this app, but it also has its limitations.
Here's a summary of its pros and cons to further help you with your decision.
Pros:
- App is user-friendly
- Payment via PayPal is available
- Relatively low payout threshold
- Payments are processed quickly most of the time
Cons:
- Limited earning opportunities
- How they provide support could use some improvement
- Not clear which countries it is available in
To put it simply, Surveys On The Go can be a decent app if you aren't in a hurry to earn a bit of extra cash.
It can take a couple of months to reach the threshold because you won't always qualify for the surveys available. But that depends on your location, how much you move around, and your demographic profile.
However, they do offer good payment methods, and answering their surveys won't require too much effort. So, all in all, it just balances their limitations.
It can be a decent secondary app/site to earn from to supplement what you can earn from apps/sites that have better earning potential. If you want a list of apps like those, I recommend you check out the top paid survey apps.
And if you prefer to use your computer, I suggest you check out the top survey sites in your country. You will find plenty of sites that have good earning potential.
If you have any comments, questions, or experiences with Surveys On The Go, I would love to hear from you in a comment below.
it was a 4 star now its a 1 star their rarely are surveys and when their is its usually only 1 day a week they hit you with a bunch of surveys all at once and if your busy doing something else well your shit out of luck because if you miss that 1 day where they give out surveys alot you dont get any surveys hardly the remainder of the week so a 1 star is the best rating for this app
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
I’m so frustrated and aggravated by this “Reputable company”, that I don’t even have the words to start writing this review because of how mad I am.
Few days ago, I went to 2 different freaking Dunkin Donuts to complete the freaking missions of Dunkin they keep sending me about 10 notifications daily to complete. I only got to do one, cause the other one didn’t want to load, I just stayed stuck in locations, the start button didn’t appear.
But, I realized that I had to go to another location for the other Dunkin mission, so I did.
My husband fucking drove 20 minutes to get there with our baby in the cold weather, for me just to fill out your stupid survey and earn the $25.00 just to find out the next day that it has been rejected after all we did and how cold it was that night and spent money on gas which is very expensive nowadays, plus almost 5 fucking dollars in that stupid strawberry riccota toast, that wasn’t good at all!
I’m soooo mad right now! I can’t believe you did this after all I did, cause that wasn’t close to where I live BTW.
So I sent them an email telling them the same thing u just wrote above.
They claim that the reason they rejected my recent survey submission was because they claim the image I provided fell short of their quality standards. That they couldn’t deliver my data to their Client, so they had to reject my response for this time, they added a partial incentive of $10 miserable dollars after al I wen through, when I was supposed to receive $25 in total.
I swear I did everything how you wanted to, and the pictures were great, you just used that excuse not to pay my money.
I dont recommend this app at all, do not go out of your way to complete their stupid missions, especially if the places aren’t in your town. What a disappointment!
Sorry to hear about your experiences, but thanks for sharing so others can see what to be aware of.
My account reached $10.25, I requested for payout they told me my payment has been sent to my email address, few hours later my balance returned back to normal,
I requested for the payout again they said it has been sent…and again it came back, please what should i do?
You need to ask their support about this.
