Current Rewards App is an app that claims to pay the user for doing a simple thing as just listening to music. Is it so easy to earn money listening to music? Is this earn money app legit or it is just a scam? Let’s find out. Do keep reading the post.
What is the Current Rewards App?
It is an app that is available in the play store and Apple store consisting of over 1,00,000 plus radio stations of different categories like pop-rock, Rap, and hip-hop, metal, country, slow, relax, and chill, Hindi to name a few. You can save your favourite radio station and listen to the songs on that particular station. While listening to songs you get some points per song. These points are converted for gifts or Cash. This app is available worldwide.
You can use the link https://crrnt.me/iH8vaw4Y3jb to download the app.
How Current Rewards App work?
- The current rewards app is available for both android users as well as iOS users.
- On the Play store, the file is 32 Mb in size. There are around 5 Million plus downloads. Once you download you need to sign up and fill in the details like your name, email, contact number, etc.
- It also gives extra points if you fill in all the details that the app asks.
- This app is available worldwide. You need the internet for listening to songs.
- Unlimited and a wide variety of songs of different languages and genres are available.
- Each mobile user can operate one current account on one device. They verify the same with your mobile number. They send a verification code on the registered mobile number.
- It’s that simple. After registration, you choose your favorite category of songs and start listening to music and start earning points.
How Can you earn points?
As you can see from the screenshot this was the interface when I first installed the app in May 2020. App updates are released on regular basis.
- Tasks and offers: these tasks include downloading different apps like opinion world, time bucks, daily hunt, and many more. You need to register yourself with those apps. Run the apps as per the condition for the particular offer and then earn points. These tasks and offers take 1 to 30 minutes of your time. It says you can earn points up to 20000.
- Share your opinion: This is basically answering surveys. It will take 1 to 30 minutes of time.
- Daily usage bonus: when you listen to music for a certain time the apps reward you with points. You can earn points to a maximum of 150.
- Quick earn video: in this mode, you can watch advertisements of up to 30 seconds. A maximum of 15 points is rewarded. In short earn money by watching ads.
- Unlocking the screen: This is another method that is not mentioned in the list. After every 2 hours when you unlock your mobile screen you get 3 points.
- Listening to music: Of course this is the main thing, you get points listening to songs.
After updates the app interface changes. This is the recent interface on November 21st, 2020. In this new interface, they have introduced new points earning method i.e. games. Videos are the same as watching ads.
7. Games: Here you get points for playing games. There are some terms and conditions that you need to accept first and then you can proceed to play games and earn points for every minute you spend playing.
A new feature called the daily goal feature is introduced. Once you reach 25 points you get 5 points more. And so on. They have just introduced a new feature called charging. Wherein you get points when you keep your phone for charging.
How much CASH/ REWARDS can you earn?
Following are the rewards. The first one is once you make 4000 points you can claim a BB card. This means you get paid 50% faster for listening to songs. Once you reach 7950 points you can claim $1 and so on. You can also claim gifts when you reach certain points. When you reach 16500 points you can claim earphones, 18500 you can claim a smartwatch, and so on. Check the below images.
What is my Experience with the Current app?
My friend sent me the referral link for this app and said you can earn gifts or some cash. It was exciting. I was like it is true that you can earn money by just listening to music, watching ads, and answering surveys?
I installed this app on the 21st of May 2020 and could claim $3 by making 9950 points on 28th October 2020. Yes, it took me quite some time to earn those 9k points. Approximately 5 months. In initially getting point listening to music was very low. On the first day, I was able to make 600 points so I was happy. That reaching 9950points would be easy if I can make [email protected] per day. But from the next day onwards earning points became very difficult.
As you can see in the below screenshot I would get 0.09 or 0.2 points listening to songs. Daily check in points would be 6 or 10 etc.
Later with newer updates, I was able to make some points and finally, I reach the target of 4000 points. But it took me more than 3 months so I felt sad to claim the points for the BB card. So I decided not to claim and proceeded with 7950 points. Once I reached 7950, I was like 2k more points and I can claim $3. When I reached almost 7000 points, a new update was launched and I could reach my target fast. I would get points up to 15 for watching a 30-second ad. Before the update watching ads would not give you points. It would say your reward will appear shortly and the points were never added to your account.
Once I reached 9950 points I claimed my points. I was just accumulating points and finally not getting anything in return would be disappointing.
Redeem gifts for listening to music:
So finally I hit the REDEEM rewards option. Firstly, I was asked for my contact number. Fair enough. A verification code was sent. I instantly got the BB card that enables the user to earn points 50% faster.
I got the mail from the Current Rewards app stating that I will be getting my Paypal gift card in 10 business days. As you can see from the below screenshot I got the mail on 28th October. Also, my email id for Paypal, and this app is the same.
So basically exactly after 1 month, I got the rewards in my PayPal account. I claimed for $3 and I got $2.88. I guess the processing fee etc. Below is the proof from my PayPal account.
Most of the time what happens is, when you claim your reward you get a BB card and the card is activated immediately. Some users like me, who are claiming for the first time we wait to check if we receive the rewards or not. As per the screenshot, the rewards are deposited after 1 month. Meantime the BB card gets expired.
Pros:
- You get to listen to millions of songs from a wide range of artists, different genres, languages, etc.
- You are rewarded with some PayPal cash or gift whatever you choose.
Cons:
- You cannot search for a particular song. Songs start playing one after the other of the selected genre.
- The new charge feature of the app led to the overheating of my phone hence my phone automatically disabled the app while charging.
- Enabling the charge feature there are ads constantly running on your screen.
- The current music ad is displayed on your mobile home screen all the time. Instead of an image of your own choice, every time you open your phone you get to see Current like the below image.
- It’s almost 1 month and I have not received any rewards. I have also commented on the google play store regarding the app.
- The company’s claim of paying users $600 per year is over-exaggerated.
Final Verdict:
Current Rewards app which claims to earn money listening to music is a LEGITIMATE app if you want to make some money from the app. If you are using the app for listening to music then it is good. You watch at least 1000s of ads in order to make 9950 points. When the users view ads, the company makes money. But the company does not fulfill the promise of paying the users of $600 plus dollars a year.
If you open the app in the play store the company claims to pay users $600 per year. Actually, it becomes difficult to earn enough points to claim $3. Let me know your thoughts and experience in the comment section below.
Edit 1:
Thank you guys for the overwhelming response to this post. I continued using the Current reward app. This time I accumulated 15500 points, by only viewing ads and occasionally listening to music. This time I claimed $6 on 29th May 2021 and surprisingly by 1st June the rewards were sent to my Paypal account. I received $5.76. The first time withdrawal process took one whole month.

It certainly seems like a scam. Not a lot you have earned in a long time. You’d think you would have more over those months!
Hi, I don’t know why they had to earn so little points, I had this app for one month and accumulated about 17,000 points, and halfway to getting my $25 gift card.
That’s great Daniel. Unfortunately, I was not able to accumulate as many points as you accumulated. Maybe because of the older version of the app. With the latest version maybe you can earn more. After you cash out do let me know your experience here
What app is that boss
After recent updates the app is providing more and more points for the tasks. Recently it boosted all rewards and gives you more points for doing the same thing as before. And the earning rate is dependent on how active you are with games and surveys and offers, completing more of them will give you points and increase your rate of earning points from listening to music. I have been using this app for over a year and will say if you do everything perfectly and spend a lot of time for this app, you could make $600 a year.
I would disagree. After the update, I started receiving fewer points.
– Previously I used to get 6 points for screen unlock, now I am getting 2 points.
– I answered surveys actively and my account was banned stating fraudulent activity. So I started a new account.
– Previously 35000 points you could claim $20, now the $20 option is removed.
– Previously 22500 points would give me $10 now the points are needed to be 27250 to claim $10
guys if you are facing the same, comment below
Yes! Sample – I put my goal already twice with 7,950 and a 9,950 in peso but I only got back 185 in return. I thought it would be the same amount I can widraw or transfer to my paypal.
How to claim
The phone and the app are a scam to get card info and Phone numbers and addresses
Hi Tommy. It could be true. Thanks for letting us know.
I have join this on January this year I have completed 4000 nothing happen .then after that I completed 4950 then they send it $0.48 now I m confused they add all this amount or they didn’t they send it to may PayPal but before they didn’t send nothing so how long they must I wait to transfer this amount to my personal account it almost a mount now this thing it’s have a date of expired or not o what to know that thank you
Little late to comment but I just got say that you’re not using it right. I’ve been using current for the better part of 5 to 6 months now and I’ve been getting around $40 bucks a month from it.
The key is to get a moderately new but junk phone or tablet that you don’t use on a daily basis. One that is new enough to be able to download the most apps on the store. Clear the device so that you have as much memory as possible and download the apps/games. Meanwhile turn your brightness down all the way and set your volume to as low as possible so you can barely hear the music but it’s still loud enough it’s not on mute. That is if you don’t want to listen to the music all day long. Also turn your auto shut off sleep mode to about 30 minutes or so, so when you turn on the apps, your device doesn’t turn off from inactivity.
Keep the music playing as much as possible while checking in every hour or so, so you keep getting points. While the games/apps are playing and the music is playing in the background. Doing this I easily make $10 a week and $40 a month practically doing nothing whatsoever.
Thank you Kayneth for your tips and tricks. I used to put ear phones plugged in and keep the music on without actually plugging in the other end to my ears.
Earnings are also dependent from country to country.
Is anyone use crypto address for withdrawing ?
I have completed the mega offer task where I had to download Rise of Kingdoms: Lost Crusade and play it. I completed the first and second part of the task. The first part paid me 15000 points. The second part which I recently completed is yet to reward me with points. I am still contemplating.
15000 points that’s great. When will you encash your points? Or you redeeming the gifts?
It ‘is’ a scam and I have the personal experience to prove it. I went for the $10 Google Play gift card redeem. Like you I received a message about the gift card coming in 7-10 business days… only it didn’t arrive in those X days. So after the 3rd week (13 business days) I sent a mail to their customer support. After 5 days they responded that they needed my reply to contain the mail and phone from my registration so I instantly did that. Cue another 8 days wait only for them to respond that they were “unable to help at this time as the system is unable to find a redemption.” Meanwhile during this 8 days wait on day 3 the mail finally arrived giving me a gift card id number and verification code. Except when I attempted to apply it to my google play account it turns out that the code wasn’t even legitimate and I was informed by the Google play site to contact whomever I received the gift card from. So I sent them another mail, this time including the very mail they sent claiming it to be a gift card and a screenshot of the refusal message by google play showing my failed attempt to redeem the code. Another 8 days wait only for Customer Support to again say I needed to reply back with my registered email and phone before they can assist me on the matter. Again I did so. Another 13 days wait and I finally get back a response “Upon checking in on our system with the email you have provided, we don’t find any redemption. We’re glad to hear your response, thank you.
Sincerely,
Team Current
https://current.us” I proceeded to double check Google Play – still no validation. I then proceeded to uninstall the Current scam app.
Recap of timeline..
Day 01 – Redeemed points and instantly received automatic mail saying 7-10 business days.
Day 22 – Still no gift card after 3 weeks so sent in first customer support mail.
Day 27 – Customer Support responded but claimed they needed me to reply with registered mail / phone which I instantly in less than ten minutes after arriving in mailbox had sent back to them.
Day 30 – Received a mail with Google Play gift card code and verification id. Except Google Play didn’t recognize it. So I mailed Customer Support again including the original sent gift card mail from them and a screenshot of my attempting to use it on Google Play without it validating.
Day 35 – Finally received response to original inquiry about having not yet received my 7-10 business days gift card only to be told they could find no redemption. Which of course they couldn’t since it had already arrived on day 30 even if it was invalid.
Day 38 – Received a response from Customer Support saying that before they could assist me on the invalid card that I would need to reply back with my registration mail and phone AGAIN. I instantly did although by this point I was pretty sure it was a scam and was giving them one last chance to redeem themselves if legit.
Day 51 – Received final response from Customer Support which said no redemption was coming. Just in case I tried one last time to redeem the supposed Google Play Gift Card only to receive the same invalid code message. Proceeded to uninstall this scam Current app.
Thank you Selaine for sharing your experience with the Current Rewards app. The readers will get the idea that Google Play Store cards could be problematic. It is very sad to hear about your experience. However, I did not try to redeem it as a Google Play Store gift card. I tried to withdraw cash in my Paypal account and it worked. I cannot really comment on Google Play store gift cards and other gift options as I have not tried using them.
It’s not a scam, i redeemed six dollars PayPal. You went through day 51, almost two months just to fight for a ten dollar google play gift card? I smell bullshit, your comment sounds like a documentary, very detailed from day 1 to day 51. Your personal experienced is not a “proof.” If you really didn’t get your ten dollar google play gift card, that’s the google play’s error. It makes no sense that current pays you through PayPal rewards, but not google play gift card. If it’s a scam, they won’t pay at all, even PayPal.
“Personal experience” are not proof or evidence – someone could be lying about their experience, or being totally biased. Your made up story sounds far too detailed to be true, from day 1 to day 51 just for $10 Google play gift card.
Or hear me out. Maybe it didn’t work for them?
Heya I just want to ask if the airpods gift is legit cuz i made it my goal and im so close in redeeming it I just want to have no regrets. Btw Im from philippines
Hi Sarah. I am not sure if the gifts are legit or not. Because I have only claimed cash. And cash rewards are legit.
HI ATE JOSELLE 7950 COINS IS EQUIVALENT TO HOW MUCH IF YOU CASH OUT TROUGH GCASH?
Hi Gleza. 7950 is equal to $3 PayPal cash. However, after deductions like their processing fee you get $2.88 in your Paypal account.
Yes! Sample – I put my goal already twice with 7,950 and a 9,950 in peso but I only got back 185 in return. I thought it would be the same amount I can widraw or transfer to my paypal.
SCAM!!!! Beware! 100% SCAM!!!
They let you spend HOURS on this app trying to reach the withdrawals threshold and after you wasted your time on it they avoid giving you the credit you earned!
I spent DAYS on this app, completing one of their offers and when I did- the put “rejected” status on it. When i contacted them they had no legit response and the sent me to “restart my phone” (what?!) And later said the offer might reached its limit (but it was still valid on the app) I pulled back all the referrals to this app!!!
Hi Joselle I am new on current how do I actually give my pay Pal details .. because I do not c any option to add a way to pay me cash …
I had added the PayPal details very long ago. As far as I remember when you try to claim points in form of cash/PayPal option, it asks you to put the PayPal id and also verify your phone number.
Dear users if any changes were made in adding PayPal account please help Chantel in the comment section. Thank you
12 days ago I redeemed a 20$ PayPal gift card and I haven’t received any payment to my PayPal yet the current custom service is telling me that I’m using another email address but I’m 100% sure that I linked my PayPal email adress to the current app and redeemed the gift with it I’m I the only one facing this problem? If you have any suggestions please let me know!
It’s a scam at 15.08.20 i redeemed the airpods , after a few months i did try to communicate via emails, no serious answer just that they are sorry for the delay, at the third email i was asking why i couldn’t see anymore the airpods in the redeemed history of the app and why i didn’t received the airpods the didn’t even bother to answer. Waste of time.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience here. Other readers will be careful NOT to claim the AirPods or smartwatch as rewards.
You would have got a few dollars if you used the PayPal option.
Current SCAMMED ME OUT OF NEARLY $50 over the past few month. I started using their app and thought it was great. I earned my first $20 gift card pretty quickly, but more than a month after redeeming it, I still had nothing to show for it. While waiting, I earned another $20 gift card, and was well on my way to the next gift card. I sent several inquiries about the first gift card I tried to redeem, but no response at all. Then I guess they got tired of me bugging them for the money I had earned, so they decided to suspend my account, accusing me of “fraudulent activity” since I guess that is probably the only way they can justify not paying me what they owe me.
I listen to the radio pretty much around the clock. I keep my phone by my bed and if I happen to hear the notification that they are turning off my earnings, I restart them. They claimed that I am using a “bot” since apparently most users don’t listen to the radio as much as I do so they don’t think I’m human!!! They are nothing but lowlife thieves and liars, and will scam you if they get a chance!!!!
Don’t trust these scammers…
It’s so sad to hear about your experience, Kelly!! Thank you for sharing with our readers. Do you try claiming PayPal cash or tried with Google Play store cards? Mostly the Play store cards/vouchers do not work. Hence I would recommend only redeeming PayPal. It worked for me 2 times. $3 and $6
Same I had the same bot vop response and they do that exactly when I’m waiting on a $20 gift card and I can’t get thru to anything but a robot
Scam. Don’t download.
Hi John, it would be nice if you could elaborate on your experience with this app. And why you feel it is a scam
Hi I want to set the bonus bucks gift card but I don’t have a paypal account how can I redeem the gift card apartment from using paypal please help me out
I would recommend you to get a PayPal account, as most readers commented that there were issues with redeeming gift cards and other gifts. They did not receive them at all.
Hi, I’ve been using Current for a few months now and I can say based on my experience that it is not a scam 🙂 I’ve already redeemed rewards there 5 times. Four times with $3 and one time with $10 and all those reflected on my paypal after 3-7 working days after redeeming 😀
Hi Diniella, thank you for sharing your experience. It is indeed a legit app if you redeem money to your Paypal account. I have redeemed twice. $3 and $6. The first withdrawal took a months time, but the second was pretty quick.
How long till i get my $0.10 paypal? Just tested it if its legit
Hi Israel, it depends from country to country and how much they are paying you in points.
listen everyone , this app is not scam even i have received payment 3 times which is 2.88$.
but interesting fact is i am use script which only made by me and also whatever i receive payment that is also used by script, i didnt share to anyone and also will not because i can much more ,

telegram account ;- KISHAN2930
Please guys is this app really working I mean does it actually pay real cash??
Hi Jonathan it paid me cash via PayPal. Recently I after the update I have not encashed as I did not reach the withdrawal limit yet.
This is a SCAM! I have repeatedly tried to redeem cash to PayPal without success. When contacted the so called Team Current never even provide solutions that resolve the problem and this is after multiple requests for help. I wish I could post pictures here. It’s not good enough that things work for only a few people.
There is a reason why everyone is calling Current a scam is because the app is VERY UNRELIABLE! Sure you might get some rewards but there is also a high chance of getting that reward. Not only that but it could take over a month of watching ads and listening to music just to get a 20 dollar paypal gift card. That is what I did and then I redeemed one and 2 days later and my current acount was banned. Even if it did give the rewards like they are supposed it is still not worth it. wasting hours of your time and I mean a lot of hours watching ads and listen to music just to get a 20 dollar. It took me over a month to get the 40,000 points I needed and I’m most likey not to get the paypal givecard because I have been banned from it. Just use Swagbucks. I know you can’t watch ads and listen to music to get points but everything else, but you can do surveys, complete a goal in a game app and so offers. It is so much faster just to use Swagbucks and they are reliable and its a company you can trust. They have both a phone app and a website to earn points, unlike Current.
Scam? Lol. I dont know about you guys. But I am earning every week just playing a 30mins games and listening to music for 2 hours everyday. They also have a legit support center.
Not from what I’ve been reading. Everyone is saying they are low lives who only scam.
They ARE low lives… i mean you should check the recent updates for point earnings
Yes!! Current music is a legit app to earn money in your luxurious time. You can earn up to 600$ per year based on the time you spent on current music.
Not if they ban your account first
Why the music earning off? What should i do?i couldnt tap the red botton.someone know how?
It is legit and be patient somehow. If earning music is off, update your app, refresh or log-on again. You cannot claim unless there is an ad video available to activate earnings. As for me I claimed twice via paypal and within 3-7 days I have received. With gift cards like items I don’t try yet to redeem those. I rather redeem cash.
HELLO…can any one give me idea…i’m using current to my I-phone (globe number) already and i did claimed my 1st reward thru my Paypal account, my question is, can i have another 2nd account with Current app, using Android Phone (smart number) and different email address but same person identity? Is this possible?
No, you need 2 different phone numbers to accomplish this. Same identity would probably get you banned.
The app is a nightmare it broke my phone 📱 I want compensation
Most apps on google are a con and the adverts in the games apps keep crashing your phone 📱
Hi there
I can happily say that I installed the app in November 2021 and last week 13January 2021 I redeemed my $20. The money was in my paypal account in 5 days. I am currently on just under 7000points and its been nearly a week of trying to get another $20. The surveys really helped, the games I leave playing on my screen while I sleep so I earn around 400 points. my screen doesn’t lock when I play games but goes into screen mode that allows the game to play in the back round. I wasn’t really dedicated at first but now I am. I say you can honestly make 600 on the side. And I am a full time student and run a online business.
Hi Jessy, wanted to know which country you residing. Because the earnings and earning opportunities vary from country to country.
Great tips to score some extra points. Thank you
So how many days does it take to recieve a giftcard in your email. I thought about getting a $4 Amazon gift Card. I have earned 68% of my goal so far.
Hi Nathan I never tried to claim Amazon gift card. I always use PayPal. Few of the readers tried google play store cards and they were not successful, so I’m not sure about Amazon gift cards. Its better to use PayPal to claim your earnings. Or if you still try to claim your amazon gift card and if you were successful please do come back to the blog and share your experience in the comment section. That would be really helpful for others. Thank you 🙂
I have an update. Apparently, I did get my reward but Current Rewards (Now Mode) sent me a Virtual Visa gift card instead in the same amount $4. What they told me was they were out of stock with Amazon 🙄.
You never pay me my $20 again so what I think you are a scam and you know what I got to post this on my Facebook I got over $1,000 people over there so I know they will f****** never f*** with you I’m done
Hi Sonceray, I do not pay anybody. I am just a blogger sharing my opinion. Current is an app, so better raise your concerns in play store or App store in the comment section.
it never send my verification code so I can’t redeem my rewards, THIS IS SCAM!
I’m 70,000 away from the 105.00 cash card, I hope it’s legit. I’m wanting the cash cards for grandkids bday gift
As per my experience and other readers’ experience PayPal cash claim is legit.

***Not a scam 🙂 !!!! Posted March 2022. I make $2 a day ($60 a month) doing the bare minimum deals, surveys, games, and music. I always choose the 50 Cent MasterCard giftcard option they have– which you can redeem in only 2,900 points. I have redeemed dozens and dozens of these in just the past 5 months. I just add them to my Amazon account to buy Amazon giftcard points to buy stuff on there 🙂 ! Also– the Swagbucks App is also a great money making app by the way 🙂 !! Posted March 2022.

This app is LEGIT. I have already redeemed thrice via Paypal. Those games, surveys and video ads helped a lot
Ordered both the “premium” smart watch and a 10usd amazon card. Watch was ordered 30 days ago, no email, app says completed 9 days after order. Hasn’t arrived and there is no longer any customer service contact available. Just a stupid fake helpbot that does litteraly less than nothing. Ordered an Amazon gift card about a week ago. Still no email and no reward forthcoming. This shit is a scam. From the massive amount of reviews online, it seems that they will only actually pay out to paypal and even then only if it’s less than 10usd. Anything over that and they will just ban your account and if you complain to them (back when you could) they either ignore you or ban your account. It’s very likely they only pay the small PayPal payouts to be able to look semi legit. I mean… Fox news is about the only American media co that’s advertising it so that alone should tell you its crooked as fuck. Don’t waste your time.
I’ve had Current (Now called mode) for over a year (almost three years now). Getting points is hard as heck but I’ve been successful with Google play and Playstation cards. I’m currently working my way to a $50 visa card. It appears that the new company that took over (mode mobile) pretty much saw a cash cow and probably bought out the people who had owned Current. Current used to offer “mode mobile phones” which were made by mode to “earn people money” but the phone itself from what I’ve gathered is equivalent to a gift-wrapped turd. You had to pay subscription plans to even use the phone, which was very low quality and earned next to kibble in actual money. So I don’t find it surprising that this new company has given people more grief with its slow takeover. This will be my last redemption through them as my last card was said to be awarded in 10 business days at most and it legitimately took almost half a year (I didn’t bother fighting over 20$ so I just shrugged it off and found it in my email one day months later). I’ll try to follow through with updates and possibly even recommend a better similar app if available. However in the meantime please do not install this app.
How are u all failing at this its super easy to make $50 A week with this and all the similar apps just playing raid alone and getting to lvl 40 takes 8 to 10 days and is worth$65 right now. All these apps are about making money from the in game offers. I think i beat raid like 15 times now. *tip resetting the phone lets u do the offer again and using textverified gives u a temp sms number for verification for $1.
In my experience, I think that the Current/Mode app is legit but, it has a few catches. I first started using the app and was off to a great start. Over time it seems almost as if your progress slows down. Once I had finally accumulated enough points, I claimed a $20 PayPal ‘gift card’. The app told me to wait for about 3-7 business days for the transaction to go through. I patiently waited and I had eventually received the $20 in my PayPal account. Now, While I am eager to find an app that pays me for listening to music, it has tons of ads (TONS OF ADS). It is also a resource hog. I found that the Mode app was using an average of 1.3GB of RAM. I wonder what it is doing that requires such resources. (skeptical) I also noticed that once I claimed my $20 reward that I had received tree bonus bucks. I was eager to earn points even faster which I did… for a short time anyway. For the first couple of hours after I claimed the bonus bucks, it constantly kept my earning rate at 4.5pt/min. I was so excited until I noticed that every day, the amount kept getting lower. Now I only get a bonus of +0.3pt/min per song. The bonus bucks are suppose to last for 30 days, not 30 minutes.
Long story short, Yes, I believe that the app is worth it. You just need to be aware that it collects quite a bit of data via offers, surveys, ads, ect. It also could have unintended consequences on your device due to overheating or battery drainage.
So, lets recap…
1) Very Slow Rewards
2) Legit payouts but long waiting periods
3) Bonus Bucks scam (Not worth it)
4) Loaded with ads
5) Resource hog which can overheat devices and drain batteries more than usual.
Thank you Seth for such a detailed explanation and especially for explaining the downside that the app causes for the devices.
How do I link my PayPal on IOS?? I don’t see an option in the app to link my account. I used my points for $10 PayPal and received an email stating to link my account to receive the reward but where is it? Customer service is a joke. Please help.
Im like most here, it worked well for awhile and then ppm would go down and up alittle and then way down again. I was making at least $40 a month (I live in Canada so I actually got more because of conversion rates). It started to then drain my phone like crazy and take up 1.35gb. I then got a new phone and transfered all data onto it, since the lock screen and charge screen were permanently on, if I was listening on one phone, and opened the other and didn’t close the app quick enough music would play through two phones. Things were fine since Jan when I got this new phone and until a few days ago, when all of a sudden my music went off. I then get the notification that I’m banned due to fraudulent activity. I know it was but, I wasn’t trying to farm extra points, uts just the app literally takes over your phone. It essentially becomes a walking ad, whilst they collect the revenue from it. I did notice though that my wifi at my job is from the US so in Canada I’d earn 0.4/ 0.6 to .8 with super boost. But with work wifi base points start at 2.9 with 1.0 boost for super boost for 1 hr (instead of the regular 2) I am qlittle bitter about this and want to use a different email and change my PayPal email to make another account but don’t want legal action taken, I’m just pissed that they can make the app soo crappy and almost impossible to earn points but if I have 2 phoned and your app openes randomly (cuz it TAKES OVER YOUR PHONE) you are a bot, even if you don’t earn points twice..
Back in the day (beginning to mid 2021) i used the app and it was good but $600/year was either a lie or just plain exaggeration.
But to be honest, besides actually getting paid ($3 without fees), my experience has been pretty poor.
1) Earning rate is basic dogcrap (for me it was 0.2-1.6pts/min) & i almost always get 0.2pts/min since “i’m in europe” or whatever but countries like the usa has much better earning rates (3-18pts/min) which felt like discrimination.
2) Games and offers used to be available for me at first until only 2 months in using the app that they removed the tab and “they would bring them back after fixes” which they did… ONLY IF YOU WERE IN THE USA.
3) VPN usage was impossible because they could detect whenever one is used for their app but… not for everyone SOMEHOW. Like i used to be in a facebook group (deleted since late 2021) and someone from the Philippines gave me a video call (we didn’t show our faces) and he showed that he was using a VPN on his phone and Current didn’t have any issues … wtf how? He didn’t know and I showed him my issue. It was pretty bad after we showed what was going on in the group. Apparently a lot of people in Europe couldn’t use VPNs but USA and (East) Asia can? Wow…
4) By mid 2021, everything (earn rate, charging rate, etc) was all HALVENED so earning points was so difficult (example being that earning rates went from 0.2-1.6pts/min to 0.1-0.8pts/min). Therefore after earning for the last time in June 2021, I’ve quit using the app.
So in a nutshell? Current is basically a greedy, discriminatory app that really doesn’t care about their users at all.
I agree with you Nephtali, Current is a greedy app. They do not care about users. They blocked one of my accounts saying fraud activity, as I came to a different country and I was getting a lot of survey opportunities and was getting a lot of points. Thankfully before they blocked my account I had claimed the points.
Now I do not even get ads to view. This is my second account.
Forgot to add another thing to it
So recently (May 2022), i reinstalled Current (now called Mode Earnapp) and see what happened and oh my god…
[+] offers and games came back
[+] giveaways are now present
[-] in terms of giveaways, it still isn’t as good as the screenshots i received back when i used the app… 100K points given away to all who participated (obviously in USA mainly). Here it was only 10K to 1-5 winners (always varied i guess)
[-] some points in some selection (daily “login”, charge rate and bonus points) were AGAIN halvened so it’s even more worthless than before
[-] earn rate went DOWN the drain… from 0.2-1.6pts/min to ZERO-0.3pts/min. What the hell is that?! Ads, offers and games won’t help much with that kind of rate
[-] redeeming points also went down the drain… you need even more points to claim cash and whatnot. 9950pts for $3 -> 17990pts for $3, 7950pts for $1 -> 12750pts for $1, etc.
[-] for the Super Points (BB yellow thing i guess) that grants you bonus points on top of normal points, it now only last 7 days instead of 30 days, which became extremely redundant. How would it be possible to gain points now like that???? (this is for me, i have no idea if it’s like that for anyone else)

thanks for sharing this. Loved it.
I want a partime job
That reason for my education help
This website is real and legit to make a lot of money 👇👇
This app, now called MODE EARN, is basically now a scam. Look at r/beermoney and the Google play store reviews and you’ll seen hundreds now not getting paid for the last 2-3 months.
They’ve gone downhill FAST! Used to be a great app to make a little extra cash.
Now, they take your data for a few months, pay you for a few months, then not tell you they will STOP paying you after you share more data a few months down the road.
Stick with survey apps like AttaPoll and Survey Junkies. Until and unless they try and pull the same shit.
Hi Nat. That’s what I have noticed recently. The earnings are super slow. I am not able to reach the 27000 point goal in spite of so many people joining from my link. I had written the review when it was the Current app. I will try to claim once I hit 27000 points and update my blog post.
I never tried AttaPoll and Survey Junkies. I will try them soon. Thank you for your time 🙂
It’s amazing 😍
