Tik Tube Scam – No Real Payments

Yes, I'll save you the time to read this full article and tell you right off the start that the Android application Tik Tube is a scam. You'll never make an easy $500 in 20 minutes just by simply watching TikTok videos, and certainly not with Tik Tube.  The first time I've seen a mention about Tik Tube is via an YouTube advertisement. It was a guy that said you could easily earn $500 in a matter of minutes just by watching videos. My scam alert sensor activated because by default I don't trust anyone, and that seemed to be fishy. I told myself I should check it out though, to see what's the catch.

How to report scam apps on Google Play

That until I encountered the scam apps or those that use the deceptive ads scenario. You know the type, most apps that tell you that you can easily earn money through them, are scam. Very few will actually pay the money, and most of them even if they are borderline legit, will have you spend hours and hours just to earn cents. One of the most recent scam apps I encountered was Tik Tube. It was via an YouTube advertisement, and it promoted earning hundreds/thousands of dollars with ease just by watching videos. I've prepared a separate post just for this, but in the meantime I wanted to see how you can report scam apps to Google Play to have them review it or even better take it down.

$3,500 Apple’s Vision Pro headphones reach first customers: initial impressions

On February 2nd, 2024, the Apple Vision Pro virtual reality headphones reached their first customers. It is one of the most expensive products in the history of Apple. While some say it is an extraordinary product, it also comes with a lot of drawbacks, the biggest one being the price. As an Android user, I still don't get one thing: what are these headphones really good for?

Rise of Kingdoms Review in 1 word: Boring

Rise of Kingdoms is a mobile game released in 2018 by Lilith Games. Not sure if you've crossed paths with this game studio before, but they've released quite a few popular games. One of their most popular is Art of Conquest, a game that I've played in the past and enjoyed. However, in comparison to Art of Conquest, the Rise of Kingdoms game is boring. I've been trying to play it for the past week or so, but still cannot get hooked into its gameplay.

Keek is back

I reviewed Keek for Android in 2015 when it first launched (wow, can't believe it's been 9 years already). Anyway, the app was launched in 2011 and was available on the appstores until sometime after 2016 - not sure exactly when it went down, but it was probably around 2017. I felt bad, because I liked their idea of short videos - somehow they had the great idea that Tiktok was built on, but way before they launched. Anyway, guess what? I've recently received an email from them saying that Keek is back, and according to their announcement it's better than ever! If you've missed the good old days of short and sweet video sharing, you should definitely try the revamped Keek app.

G2 reviews for money, fake or real?

G2.com is a review site that focuses on publishing user reviews for business software. It’s pretty much more or less similar to Capterra, Gartner, SourceForge and a dozen others. Much like Capterra, they’ve obviously got an incentivized review program, where they pay users to post reviews about the software listed on […]

FreeCash Offers: Scam and Real offers for Android

So is FreeCash a site that you can trust? After using it for almost 3 months I can say that it is trusted, in the sense that they do send your reward coins and also that they allow you to cash out. According to their on site, FreeCash has paid out nearly $25 million to its members since its inception and has a 4.6-star rating on Trustpilot. They were previously known as Freeskins.com but changed names in 2021 (what's more catchy than "Free Cash").

Google Play Ads – how low can they go

I gave up Chrome on Android and instead started using Firefox. Why? Because Firefox for Android allows you to add extensions to it, and you can easily add uBlock Origin. This way if you have an Android phone you can block ads on it with a simple tap. On Chrome for Android is more difficult to block ads, so giving up was the easiest solution here.

Duolingo free kinda’ sucks

I became a Duolingo Free user in 2015. Actually back then there wasn't even a paid option, it was truly free. Back then I started learning German, and even if I didn't advance too much, I could say that it helped me learn some basics. Don't ask me why though, but after a few months I stopped playing with it and never picked it up again until 2023. Boy, did it change a lot in the past 7 years. I wish I'd say it was a good change, but unfortunately I consider Duolingo Free sucks (the 2023 version that is) in comparison with the app I toyed around with in 2016.
