AppStation Review: Get Paid to Play Games!


Disclosure: We’re letting you know that this post contains sponsored links which The Smart Wallet receives compensation for, which may impact their order of appearance. This site doesn’t include all available offers.

We’ll probably be the only ones to tell you this, but please play more mobile games. With AppStation, you can download fun games to your Android device and get paid to play games.

How Does AppStation Work?

Open the AppStation app, and you’ll get a personalized list of recommended games. Mine included Homescapes, Merge Dragons!, Candy Crush Saga, WildScapes, and Words with Friends 2.

Tap “Play & Collect” on the game of your choice and the app directs you to the Google Play store where you download that specific game. Start playing, and you’ll start collecting coins by the minute! (Coins turn into gift cards).

The app tracks your playtime, and you start with a signup bonus of 4,444 coins.

They also have a generous referral program! Refer a friend who is new to AppStation, and you get 250 more coins. From then on, 25% of the coins they earn will go to you and your friends will also get 25% of the coins you earn too! This referral arrangement is better than many similar apps because you are incentivized to help your referrals make money, and they have the same incentive too.

How to Earn Cash with AppStation

Redeem your Appstation points for PayPal cash or gift cards for Steam, Amazon.com, American Eagle Outfitters, BJ’s Restaurants, Macy’s, Starbucks, and a lot more.

Protip: The more time you spend on a game, the more coins you get. Focus on the higher payout games first, and then go back to your game history to continue later.

AppStation is Free

AppStation is free to download, and the games it suggests are also free to download, though some may offer optional in-app purchases. The only cost to you is the time you spend playing games.
