Tester Buddy
reviews and complaints

At first things were great….. now i have over 120$ in rewards “processing” i’ve emailed custom support SEVERAL TIMES. got a generic reply twice. it has been almost a MONTH. this is unacceptable. i’m contacting better business bureau!

Well, I tried to contact support for more than 3 weeks and all I got was an automated email. I have $100 pending and never received anything. I spent money and time playing fair and square with a promise of payouts after completing missions, but it’s all fake. Don’t trust them, this is indeed a big fat scam and the app should not be part of App Store.

Waited to review until my first cash out experience. I’ve been playing for a couple weeks now and just cashed out $15. There were a couple of steps but I did indeed receive the money to my PayPal within about 10 minutes of redemption. Don’t expect to earn a lot, but it does pay. 4 stars because the offers for cash sounded like you get instant cash back, but it comes in the form of points so you have to wait until your payout to get it back.

I don’t review apps very often however I plan on starting. So with this particular app I am pleased. I have been trying out many different apps that claim to payout and this has been the only one that actually pays. Now it’s not much and it takes some time but it can be done. This app is legit. I got my first PayPal payment from them just a couple of minutes ago. The payment came through in less than half an hour. However different people results may differ. It most certainly worked for me.

Some games at unknown certain moments will work and register as being played. Others don’t and or stop working. There’s limited information to be found on this topic and not really sure how or what causes this. I’ll be playing a game for hours trying to reach the goal one day, attempt to continue the next day and suddenly won’t work. I’m aware you’re a small developer/company, but please figure this out. I could be able to grocery shop by now if it were working correctly. Now I’m hungry and angry I can’t get this app to work, and the games are so random. Nice variety, but very random.

From download to first withdrawal of the minimum $1 was faster than expected. Deposit hit my PayPal in under 15 mns. If you’re actually looking for something other than some every other dead end promise, just tap that download button and start earning. Would’ve been 5/5 but two games I had downloaded stated play the first minute and earn $1. Maybe it’ll come in after but it’s for sure been 5 hrs for that. Although the points earned during cashed out just as fast as the first.

I just downloaded yesterday and was able to cash out $10 after just a few hours of playing two of the apps they’re promoting. You can get more coins by playing longer and hitting certain milestones within the games. I played Dice Dreams and Domino Dreams, which are fun games with no ads, and are made by an actual app developing studio. So you are truly getting paid for playing the games, not watching endless ads.
After cashing out, the money was deposited into my PayPal within 10 minutes so I’m satisfied! Will continue to use if they continue to add more games!

Downloaded the app two days ago and love it and love the games they have. Yesterday i cashed out for a $2 PayPal payment and I still haven’t gotten my payment, not even a email about it. Ready to cash out for a $10 payment and about to be ready to cash out for a $20 payment (both for PayPal) but not going to yet until I get my first payment. Please fix this and actually give your users their payment requests. Was really counting on the money and so far very disappointed. I even sent them a email and haven’t gotten anything back yet. Will change rating to 5 stars once i get my payments.

I really thought this was another one of those apps that promises to pay you for paying games but doesn’t. This isn’t those apps. I mean you aren’t going to become rich from paying these games but if you need a little extra cash for like gas, or helping save up for buying gifts. This help can help with those things. I just don’t like that you have to reach really high levels before you can earn more coins, but overall I give everything four stars.

The games I have been playing are pretty fun & interesting. One of the games I’m currently trying is Backgammon. I’ve always wanted to learn how to play & I thought this would be the perfect way. I’m doing pretty good right now, but I still have things I don’t understand. I’ll continue learning until I have it locked in. The ones that were up next for me to try I did not want to try because the were fighting games & I just am not interested in that.

I’m always hesitant when it comes to these kind of apps. I got this app Oct 30th 2023 and was able to cash out Nov 1st 2023. You can play this for free. I only used $5.99 on the domino dream in-app purchase since there were 2 limited offers of 1. making any in app purchase for $3 and 2. any $5 spent was $7 so I thought let’s see if the $5.99(unsure on tax since Apple Store takes a few days) can turn into $10 and it worked. I cashed out.

I’m going to be honest I’m not really a big fan of writing a review but this app has really been a great app for me to get to get a couple of dollars and I have gotten it from them into my account in less than 5 minutes so I’m excited to get started on more stuff but I’m also not sure how much of profit I can make on this platform so I’m hoping that I can make more money in less time than what I have spent on the last app

Some of the games are fun. I like playing the word game but there are so many ads it’s frustrating! I mean every game ad. Every build ad. If you want to build anything ad. Some of the games are fun with not so many ads. I’ve managed to build up enough points to cash out like 5 dollars for just playing games. I will update if I see the money in my PayPal. If I get it then this will be pretty awesome to just play games and get paid for it.

Due to an accident a couple years ago I am no longer able to work and I’m still waiting on disability. So I turned to surveys to try and earn a little money. It took forever to earn enough to cash out. Then I joined this site and wow! In less than two days I’ve already cashed out 10$ and it’s so easy! Playing games I enjoy. FREE games! No more fifteen minute qualifying surveys to be turned down for the actual survey. Just play a fun game and earn money. I recommend this to anyone who wants to earn a little money while playing a game. It was very easy. Thanks ☺️

I found this app through another game. It HONESTLY WORKS. I played 2 games (one for 3 minutes, one for 10 minutes). I just wanted to see if it was legitimate. I cashed out $2 to PayPal, and $2 to Amazon (that way, I didn’t have very much invested). I PROMISE, BOTH rewards were in my email WITHIN 10 minutes! I was MORE than impressed! I SINCERELY hope it continues (for MANY YEARS) to be this honest and successful!

Works great at first then stops registering all progress/payouts after your first cash out
After 48 hrs still no response or fix from support
After attempting to contact support
Got a notification from to updated a game so I tried it hoping the tester buddy system would start working didn’t
Got a notification to start a new game tried it system didn’t even recognize I downloaded it through their system
Very disappointed

there’s no games i haven’t already played and they force you to play them before you can get more games. they won’t count the games if you’ve already downloaded them so i can’t earn anything. either give me apps i don’t have or let me play the ones i do. also they never count the ones that do work. when i click play, it brings me to the app store to download even though i have the app. i haven’t been credited for an offer bc of this.

I played some of these games sponsored by Tester Buddy and they actually pay out! I played for about 15 minutes and got $2 in Amazon rewards. My only grip is that some of games when you download and install them don’t trigger Tester Buddy for rewards. For example, I installed Word Farm Adventure and it has yet to trigger Tester Buddy that it’s been installed and how many levels I’ve gone through. But Domino dreams actually works and racks up the points for rewards that can get paid to Amazon or PayPal.

I played the games on this app for a few days and already cashed out $21 and much of the games are really fun & not annoying! I highly recommend this app as it is one of the better money making game apps on here! Exciting!
Although it would be nice if there was a feature that lets you delete games that you already played or if your not interested in playing that particular game & two of the games that I was new to did not have that tracking button till later on and I’m not getting credited for those two.. called domino go & word farm and also the sunrise village is not updating and crediting me

I tried it out. Guys it’s real! I’m the kinda person that will download something for a week to a month depending on what it is and try it out. If it works I’ll spread the news if it doesn’t then my loss and time wasted. I downloaded it yesterday played and cashed out for a $20 gift card to Amazon within 10 mins I received a notification that the gift card was ready! I realize the goals get harder as you get high in the level in the games so it might take more time to get another gift card. Make sure you follow the instructions because if you don’t you’ll miss out on points….. pretty sure that’s what’s going on with one of the games I downloaded. I spaced out and didn’t follow directions. Other than that it’s great

I am waiting on multiple payouts to process from Tester Buddy, 4 $55 (total $220) and 1 $28, total payouts not processing is $248.

$28 - March 30, 2024

$55 - April 6, 2024

$55 - April 6, 2024

$55 - April 7, 2024

$55 - April 7, 2024

Please help me get these pay outs processed.

I had this same problem with them before, so this seems to be an ongoing issue for them.

Thank you.

I played Triple Tile, got to level 500 for a 50 dollar payout
The slider don’t reflect my payout
So I emailed tester buddy over a week ago and no resolutions
Just a general message
The problem has not been resolved.
It takes a lot of time playing that game
I would appreciate my coins to add up for a payout of 50.00
They paid in the past, this is the first problem I ran into.
I made over 200 dollar without any issues until now

The app does not process pay outs when you request one with the points you’ve earned. I have 4 payouts not processing for a total of $220 that should go to pay pal.

I have tried to e-mail them several times as well as the app developer but I do not receive any response at all or I get an auto reply that is not relevant.

My e-mail address is [protected]@att.net

One pay out request was for [protected]@cityofnewalbany.com

I used a different address on the March 5, 2024 request in case it was a problem with my personal e-mail.

Thank you for your help.

I waited patiently to get paid because it said to wait atleast 24 hours and let checking my emails spam and trash and everything and nothing it’s been months now and I’ve been emailing them and I don’t get responses and if they respond they tell me they can’t do nothing and send me back and forth between emails and then the other emails tells me they can’t help me to go back to tester support and I haven’t gotten no results I don’t have multiples accounts and my PayPal account was correct and email I used my own money to move up faster please fix this issue or send me my reward please thank you

Completed all required levels and converted points to Amazon vouchers which have been ‘processing’ since the 30th of January. No response to emails of which I have sent several.

I applied to turn my points in to Amazon vouchers on 21st Jan and they are still sitting in processing. It said it would be up to 24 hours. I have tried contacting tested buddy who’l send me to another company, who then send me back to tester buddy, it’s ridiculous!

I have tried to contact tester buddy multiple times to fix the issue about getting my rewards sent multiple messages and still nothing I would just like my rewards or recredited back to my account so I can cash out later

I am only giving a 2 because the games are a lot of fun however, I have sent them multiple messages because it shows that payment was sent but I have never received anything. The only response I get back is, “it’s in your inbox”. I have checked my personal email inbox and my PayPal inbox several times since the payout was requested, and there is nothing in either one. I even went as far as checking my junk mailbox even though the email put in was correct. If the payments show up, I will definitely give a five star rating

I review these apps that send you money in exchange for playing games, completing tasks, etc.

I was very excited about this one at first. The first game I downloaded I was getting the rewards credited to my account immediately. So I kept up with this game to try and finish all the rewards. This involves a lot of time.

I stopped getting rewards for completing tasks on the app that would immediately reward them previously. Of course, these tasks I’m not getting rewarded for are the bigger ones that take more time and give you more points as a reward.

I tried reaching out to the support team given the email provided in the app regarding this issue. I have emailed them two times over the course of the last month. I have not received a response. This is very frustrating as I put a lot of my own personal time into this.

Also, there isn’t a lot of games offered. I have only been able to get offered three. One which didn’t reward me at all, one that stopped rewarding me, and one that rewarded me but I stopped playing due to never getting a response from their support team.

Dice and Domino Dream games are fun to play especially since there are no ads. I made $1 pay outs from each game but have yet to receive them and it’s past the 24 hours that it said I would get the money by. I sent in a ticket and almost right away got $1 “appreciation” gift for using the app. My next review will be an update to whether I get my initial payouts, I’ll wait another 24 hours…

This is an update its past 24hrs and still have not received my two initial $1 payouts.

OK I always read reviews. And it seems to be legitimate. my problem is customer service does not respond at least to me downloaded it and then it said play games but the Xbox controller thing on the opening screen just keeps on spinning. The legitimately is no games and then after quite a few hours of doing this, it says to go cash out, but then it says you have to play a game in order to cash out so honestly I DK what to think of this

The tester buddy app say waiting for install and open apps but I’ve installed and opened all 3 games. The coin bar doesn’t move! So it’s not paying to play like they say it does. The games are fun but I played the first for 15 min before I realized the tester buddy app literally isn’t paying coins or anything. If you want to join to have fun cool it’s fun games BUT don’t believe they Pat Bc it’s literally not. I’m so tired of games that lie

My app just stopped collecting points, sent 2 emails from the app that said if issues reach out. Been 3 days no response, tried reaching out through here on their issue, no response. Cashed out $10 then app stopped giving me points. I’m accomplishing goals, for some, and others it says waiting for download, but I’ve downloaded and played and progressed and even spent money. Great concept, but no customer service. Even new games refresh and pop up, just no points.

I’m not sure if these are actual players reviews, but I started to play this game, but have not been rewarded at all. My progress is not accurately tracked, after downloading game, seems to place you at rank 2, I noticed this for the second game that I downloaded also. I reached out to them informing them of this issue through email and still nothing. States you will receive a $1 after 5 mins of play time, all Lies. If anything changes and I’m rewarded will update review.

I really like the games but when it was time to cash out it was a different story. I really wanted to rate zero but unfortunately I can’t. I did a cash out and it says still processing. I emailed them two times and didn’t get a reply. I will change my rating to 5 stars when I receive my payments. Please fix the problem cause I really like playing games on this app. Please don’t make me delete this app cause I really enjoy playing the games. Sad and disappoint if I don’t receive my payments.

I been having issues claiming rewards y first tried $5 for PayPal and my point got discounted but I never got the money, then I trained again with $1 for Amazon and the same thing happened again , I got my points discounted but I didn’t got the money

Y tried emailing the address on the support page but email said that that address doesn’t exist

I don’t know if I’m the only one with these issues but its really disappointing, I hope y’all can fix it at last make an better and easier way to connect with support or something

Unlike android where you have Just Play, Just Rewards, Mist Play, ect., IPhone doesn’t off many of those choices. So when this was recommended in my App Store I was all for it, The games are great in fact I am having a good time playing a few of them. My first bout of frustration though, came when I was just a few thousand coins from being able to Cash Out $20, the app updates and they raised the amount of coins you need to acquire to cash out. But oh well I could deal with that.. What has me super frustrated right now though, is I needed to pull some money together so I decided not to wait for the $20 and to cash out $10 Tuesday afternoon, I get a notification in app pending, than another another one saying it had been transferred. I have checked my PayPal several times and the funds still weren’t available. I reached out to support and still no response. I tried cashing out for $2 and still nada. I’m unimpressed with the app at the moment, as well as their customer service. If funds make it into my PayPal I will change my rating but until something happens and I’m compensated for my time in app I will no modi’s
