Since March this year (2025), I’ve been engrossed with this smartphone app that my friend recommended to me called AttaPoll.  You can do short surveys on it to earn money.  Since my friend had been on it for a while and cashed out real money, I had no doubt about its legitimacy and I downloaded it right away.

Since then, as of writing this blog post in July 2025, I’ve cashed out and made $126.55 CAD.  You can cash out via PayPal, direct deposit to your bank, Revolut, or gift cards (many to choose from).  I’ve cashed out via direct deposit every time and it is moderately quick (either the same day or within two days).  It’s fast and very easy.

AttaPoll gives you a list of surveys that range from 1 minute to 1 hour and pays you anywhere from $0.01 to $10.  Each survey is rated 1 to 5 stars (the higher the star, the less likely you will be disqualified).  With that said, while you want to choose the surveys that are rated 5 stars to complete, they are very few in between.  The majority of the surveys that I see available and complete are 1 or 2 stars.  The availability of surveys change every day.  Some surveys ask about what you purchased recently, your opinion about advertisements, your political opinion, and more.  It can be fun to complete if you don’t mind sharing your opinion and viewpoints.

It’s good for when you have idle time like commuting, waiting in line at the grocery store or doctor appointments, or for me, while nursing my baby/contact napping for the past several months.  It’s nice to make easy pocket money.

I wish I knew about this app earlier so that I could have started earlier (and especially when I was a student spending hours commuting to school every day).

In addition to that, you can download mobile games on your phone to play and AttaPoll awards you for that too!  This is where I’ve been spending a lot of my down time this year (shamefully).  I’ve played many games and when you reach the designated level(s), you get a payment which adds up in your AttaPoll wallet.  Then you can cash out once your account reaches $5.

(You can also complete “tasks” to earn money too, but I’ve found these a bit cumbersome and didn’t find success with them yet.  For example, one task asked me to download and open the Alibaba app and I would earn a couple cents.  I downloaded it and opened it but I didn’t receive the compensation.  I think I have to sign up for an account on it which I didn’t want to, so perhaps that’s why I didn’t get paid.)

This payment was a larger one than usual because of a game that I just finished

Haha, addicted to playing games

Here are some of the games I’ve played and a quick review about them.

Screenshot of how much I made on AttaPoll by playing Wood Block Jam

Wood Block Jam:  My favourite block puzzle game!

I was actually playing this exact game before I knew about AttaPoll and had reached up to level 200 something.  Once I found out that I could earn money while playing games, I uninstalled it and waited for it to come up on AttaPoll.  Once it did, I downloaded it and played to my heart’s content!  I made $7.22 from reaching level 251.  I mean it’s not a lot of money and I did spend a lot of time going through the levels, but I would have played this game anyway without being paid.

I finished all of the levels in this game (but can’t find that screenshot I took)

Mergedom – Home Design:  Wow, this was a really fun game for me and I did end up completing all of the levels to make $31.82.  I remember spending nights in the rocking chair after the baby had well gone to sleep and I could rest too, but I stayed up playing it because it was so fun.  It was a really well-designed game.  The only issue were all the ads that would pop up and how once you opened an ad to watch, it dug into the bonus time that you were given for the item.

Screenshot of Scavenger Hunt – Seek & Find

Scavenger Hunt – Seek & Find:  This is a scavenger hunt game and you had to complete up to level 201 to get the final reward.  The maps were fun and challenging at times because you really had to scour the map to find the items.  Unfortunately, I feel like the designers of the game became lazy because after level 30, all of the the maps repeated themselves or were iterations of the same thing.  They did this by flipping the map, tinting it darker to call it a “night time” or “evening” map, and just repeating the maps over and over again.  If I was just playing this for fun and not for money, I would have stopped at level 30 because the challenge was gone.  It became more of a memory game to remember where all of the items were hidden.

Word Voyage:   I felt like this game had a lot of potential because it’s simply a word search game, but it was very tedious to move through the levels because there were ads in between them, the animation was slow, and the game was not challenging at all.

Screenshot of Find The Dogs – Hidden Objects

Find The Dogs – Hidden Objects:  This was a fun and simple game to find all of the dogs in the maps.  I wish there were more of these games in AttaPoll.

Screenshot of Diamond City: Idle Tycoon

Diamond City: Idle Tycoon:  This game was a scam and a big ad farm.  Ad farm games are common and typical in apps where you get paid to play, but this one was a scam because the game would reset your in-game monies every time you started a new city.  Thus, it was near impossible to get to getting enough monies to reach the Spaceport level, never mind the later levels after that to get paid the final amount.  I spent a lot of time on it because I enjoy tycoon games but after realizing it would take literally years to get enough points (I asked ChatGPT to calculate it for me), it was time to quit the game.  Thus, I only reached the Cyber Arena level.

Also, it wasn’t a true idle tycoon game because the idle points only counted for two hours while you were away from the game and not more than that.

Color Sort Water

Color Sort Water:  This water sort game should have been another game that I would have loved playing (I was so happy when I saw the game appear in the app) but unfortunately the way they allocated the challenges, it meant that in order to reach Challenge 24, you would have had to play nearly 1,000 individual games in total to get there.  Each challenge has like 20 or more games.  I didn’t have the time or patience to do that.

Block Joy Puzzle

Block Joy Puzzle:  This game was like tetris but not very satisfying to play.  And the amount of money that you receive from playing sections of 10 to 100 games was just not worth it for me.

Trump’s Empire: Idle game:  I forgot to take a screenshot of this game when I was playing it but it was essentially a 100% ad farm.  There was a cute gimmick part where you could “make it rain” by scrolling up on your phone to make the paper bills fly, but in order to progress in the game, you have to watch endless ads to get more money to move ahead in the game.  There was no other way around it.  (Or you could pay real money to get more virtual money but who would do that?)  I still finished the game though because I would click and let the ads play while I was doing other things around the house.

Screenshot of one of the levels on Smart Brain

Smart Brain:  You can get $3.11 after clearing 250 questions.  I remember playing a similar game to this before pre-pandemic and it was challenging.  Some of the answers to the solutions are far-fetched but amusing and thus fun.

Screenshot of Colorwood Blocks

ColorwoodBlocks:  This one is pretty fun and easy so far.  There aren’t very many challenging aspects though.
