### 3/5 — Meh

*2026-08-17, version 4.14*

While the app is valid and you do get paid, it takes FOREVER to accumulate funds. The surveys hardly ever pay out. You answer a BUNCH of questions (like 5-10 minutes) then it suddenly says you don’t qualify for the survey and directs you to another. There are a lot of games to choose from, BUT you have to watch what is required because several of the games require you to spend money before they pay. I have earned $75, but it has taken a VERY long time playing games and continued trial and denial on surveys. Only a few have paid successfully.  Like I said, it DOES pay, but I’m wondering if other apps might be better.

### 2/5 — It’s great when it allows you to finish

*2026-08-03, version 4.14*

It has potential to be great but I get kicked from over 90% of the surveys I take. Maybe it prefers you to lie rather than tell the truth. I gave this app a few chances but I’m done. “We have a better survey for you.” No you don’t, I get kicked from that one too.

### 1/5 — This app sucks

*2026-07-24, version 4.13.1*

It won’t let me update my email n it won’t let get my phone off

### 1/5 — Magic Receipt Fraud

*2026-07-24, version 4.13.1*

I added a Magic Receipt offer for Coppertone sunscreen, which had an expiration date of 7/25/26. I purchased the product on 7/23/26 and went to upload the Magic Receipt on 7/24/26, and the offer had disappeared, so I couldn’t upload the receipt. I wouldn’t have purchased this product if it were not for the Magic Receipt offer

### 1/5 — Just crashes immediately

*2026-07-16, version 4.13.1*

Can’t even enter the app, just sends me straight back to the Home Screen.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-07-11, version 4.13.1*

Surveys are extremely long, the ones that pay $5 to $10 dollars are 14 to 20 minutes and then you have to wait 4 to 9 days to receive the reward. (Unless they feel your didn’t give enough real information or zoomed through it) They don’t even pay you cash, your paid by a gift card of your choice and even then your charged for it. 90% of the surveys they offer pay .50 cents to $1 and they are all 8 to 14 minutes long and the questions aren’t just simple questions. They ask for personal in depth information about yourself and your family. The same question but worded differently. I believe they collect and sell your information, that’s why they ask so many questions. The rewards are trash. Whoever is giving this app more than 1 star is a developer or a fake account.

### 1/5 — BS please beware scroll through reviews!!!!!!!!!

*2026-07-02, version 4.13.1*

I earned money, redeemed my rewards after 10 days and went to look for gift card it’s now processing for additional 10 more days. It’s always something with these scandalous…

### 1/5 — Can’t log in and got deactivated help

*2026-07-02, version 4.13.1*

Idk how but my account got deactivated and can’t even log in

### 1/5 — Scam scam scam

*2026-06-27, version 4.13*

I was actually enjoying this app. I enjoyed the surveys and downloaded a game that I would make a few cents off of here and there. I received my first $15 Walmart gift card! I continued to do the surveys and play the game. I saved up enough to get a $25 Walmart gift card! After attempting to redeem my Walmart gift card, I was no longer able to sign in to my account. It had a warning that said my account was “disabled.” 
So I emailed customer support and they responded with “Please know that the InboxDollars Compliance Team has conducted a review of your account, and based on this review, we have made the difficult decision to close your InboxDollars account due to the detection of potentially automated or artificial methods of engaging with our site.”
I explained to them that I wouldn’t even know how to use automated or artificial methods, nor would I want to.

### 1/5 — You will be disabled after getting the 15$ minimum withdrawal

*2026-06-24, version 4.13*

Don’t download this app because after you make the minimum withdrawal of 15$. Your account will be disabled do you won’t withdraw it

### 2/5 — Can make some money but a little scammy

*2026-06-24, version 4.13*

I definitely appreciate the opportunities for surveys and games in this app, but some of the “app” goals (like for games you download) are misrepresented or InboxDollars just stops recording your activity at some point. I’m not sure which, because their customer service never got back to me after a couple different inquiries for different issues. Gave them plenty of time to respond and all sorts of evidence but I’m not sure they even actually have customer service. Overall, I did make some money, but lost a good bit on them not recording progress or purchases in apps and ended up about even despite hours + money being invested. If you’re super broke with an excessive amount of free time, you could make maybe $20 which may be worth it for you. Surveys are better than the games, they either boot you relatively early or pay what they said they would.

### 2/5 — It works! Just terrible customer service

*2026-06-23, version 4.13*

I’m expecting a problem with the magic receipt portion and you can’t contact the help center your better off just playing the games and taking the surveys beside that I’ve cashed out twice made 30 dollars in a month

### 1/5 — So frustrating

*2026-06-22, version 4.13*

I am so tired of this app not acknowledging my game downloads. It is such a waste of time because I download the game (yes, the correct way) through the app, follow all the rules, then my game doesn’t even show up on my list. So that means two things…1. I won’t get paid for playing and 2. I can’t download the game again to try to get paid because it shows I’ve already played because of the first download. And customer service? That’s a joke. Save yourself time and frustration and don’t download this app.

### 3/5 — Inbox dollars !!

*2026-06-20, version 4.13*

In Tetris block party, it told me that after I complete level 3 I will get my 10 cents but it still say $0 and then I tried to verify my email and for some reason it won’t let me in order to get the $5 for signing up I’m tryna figure out what’s going on ?

### 1/5 — They steal your credits

*2026-06-18*

I had stopped using this app because for one, when you download the app and let the app track you, it still do not register the game. So as you’re playing, the whole time the game is not registering and now you can’t redo it because your device now have the game and recognized and it doesn’t comes up as the first time you’re play the game. Then they make it hard to try to get your credits you earned. A year ago, I submitted all my info for a game that was not credited even though it showed in my activity and no one ever reached out to me. Thief/scam behavior. So I decided again to give them another chance everything was going good but once you start constantly earning money, they stop crediting you. It will show the count down until you will receive your money and the boom. It show’s completed but the money is not added to your account even though it show’s completed but as it is. I have bank stats showing that I paid and even the game registered it because I had the in game purchase offer and the count down started for me to be credited which im glad I took a screenshot right before the completion. Let’s see if customer service reaches out to me this time or steal my money once again.

**Developer response:** We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. To better assist you, please provide more details by submitting a request at https://www.inboxdollars.com/help. We’ll do our best to resolve the matter promptly.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-06-15, version 4.13*

I spent weeks of my time doing surveys and earning over $20 and one day I tried to log in and my account was “deactivated”. I contacted the company and they basically said my account has been deactivated and that’s that. No explanation, no reason. I was never paid for my time, this is such a scam. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — Close

*2026-06-09, version 4.12.1*

Subject: Account Disabled - Request for Review - Balance $14 at Village 120

Hello InboxDollars Support Team,

My account was recently disabled with a balance of $14.00. I have worked very hard to reach Village 120 on the platform.

This is my only account. I have not violated any terms. I always provide honest answers and complete tasks fairly. I use the app from my personal phone only.

The $14 is important to me. I spent a lot of time and effort to earn it. Please review my account and reactivate it so I can withdraw my balance.

If there was any mistake or misunderstanding, I am ready to verify my identity and provide any documents you need.

Thank you for your time and help. I hope we can solve this.

Best regards,
[Your Full Name]

### 1/5 — Account closed, can’t contact support

*2026-06-04, version 4.12.1*

Use a competitor, these guys don’t have a support number and trying to contact them takes forever. Been waiting more than a week to hear back

### 1/5 — Disabled my account before I could make any money

*2026-05-28, version 4.12.1*

I saw this app, made an account, started on the monopoly go offers. A day or two later I had forgotten about it.

Went to log back in only to find that my account had been disabled for some reason. I have absolutely no clue what I could've done for this to happen or if they just didn't want me to cash out

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-08-31, version 4.14*

Absolutely stay away from this garbage app.  Your kicked out of every survey for a bunch of different reasons usually because the servers used.  Complete waste of your time.

### 1/5 — Trash Application

*2026-08-26, version 4.14*

I have been a loyal member and participant of Inbox Dollars for over a year with no issues and then all of a sudden I get a notification that my account is suspended when I email as told to do they said I had suspicious activity and they were going to be deleting my account. I still had $70 in there that they refused to give me and when I asked for a written description of every rule, they said I violated they completely ignored me. They are trash.

### 1/5 — Account disabled after not using for a week

*2026-08-24, version 4.14*

Very disappointed InboxDollars was working perfectly and I earned more than $20.00 after filling out multiple surveys for hours and I go back to my account to see I no longer have one I would have appreciated an explanation at the least.

### 1/5 — Misleading offers

*2026-08-24, version 4.14*

It promised a dollar bonus for a survey, i clicked on the offer. It gave me a survey. I completed it. Got 4 cents. Sent screenshots of both places to customer support, where it still showed very clearly on my phone that it would give me a dollar bonus for taking a survey. And the receipt from completing the survey. It didn’t add up. Customer support replied but ignored my problem. It also kicked me off of almost every survey, takes at least 15 bucks to cash out, if you even can, and wouldn’t give me video offers like i had been promised. I deleted my account in 2 days.

### 1/5 — Spam emails

*2026-08-20, version 4.14*

Don’t download, they spam you with emails and keeps glitching when you want to delete your account so it doesn’t let you. Not worth the little cents you make

### 1/5 — Won’t work

*2026-08-19, version 4.14*

I have a bunch of money on inbox dollars and it won’t let me log in to claim it. No way to contact customer service either

### 1/5 — SUMBIT YOUR ID?? WHAT HAPPENED TO Anonymity??

*2026-08-18, version 4.14*

i’ve been on this app since 2020 and JUST RECENTLY found out that they make you submit a photo of your id/passport/work permit to verify instead of your email🤨 not very secure!!! deleting after 7 yrs, not worth it✌️

### 1/5 — Going downhill

*2026-08-18, version 4.14*

Besides not getting a thing for surveys with late disqualifications, now they have surveys with pre-screen surveys that are over 20 minutes and disqualify you saying you don’t match the survey for surveys that say will only be 15 minutes avg anyways.

### 1/5 — This app is a scam

*2026-08-18, version 4.14*

It won’t let me redeem none of my earnings

### 1/5 — Emails stopped

*2026-07-26, version 4.13.1*

Well, I mostly messed with the paid emails and for some reason, within the last couple weeks, they just stopped. Not going in my junk either.

### 5/5 — This app pays!!!

*2026-07-10, version 4.13.1*

I’ve been using inbox since it came out on the pc years ago. They always pay and I have never had any issues about my account. I just got a $25 Amazon gift card, it might take a couple days to get the email for it, be patient it will come. And I got $20 last week sent to my PayPal. And I only play games. And I don’t refer people. This is the only money making app I’ve used consistently and consistently gotten paid.

### 5/5 — Lame

*2026-05-28, version 4.12.1*

I was supposed to get a $10 bonus but wanted me to allow NPC tracking and I had to wait weeks to get the $10. In the meantime with NPC I couldn’t earn from playing games and to top it off after a few weeks of waiting they denied me the $10. Im playing games now and have to wait days or weeks to have my account credited for the game achievements. Who knows if they’ll actually credit me.

### 5/5 — A Reliable Staple for 7 Years!

*2026-05-09, version 4.12.1*

I have been using InboxDollars for about seven years now, and I have nothing but positive things to say. The earning potential is high, the offers are diverse, and most importantly, the payouts are 100% legitimate. On the rare occasion an offer doesn't track, their customer support is incredible—I submit a ticket with proof, and they resolve it every time. Payouts to PayPal are fast (usually 24-48 hours). This app has been a lifesaver during tight spots, helping me cover bills and gas. I’m a loyal user for life!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-05-04, version 4.12.1*

A bit complicated but I have cash out several times and I love inbox dollars

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-04-06, version 4.11*

I have been using this app for a while now and I swear I have made over 300 dollars. It takes time to make it. But if you do a couple surveys each day it all adds up

### 5/5 — Bienfait

*2026-04-05, version 4.11*

Ces cool application

### 5/5 — Inbox

*2026-04-02, version 4.11*

5 stars

### 5/5 — Reliable & Trustworthy! One of the OG’s

*2026-03-30, version 4.11*

I’ve been using the InboxDollars app since 2022, but I honestly can’t remember when I first joined! It’s been MANY years, it had to have been around 2005 - and I think back then it was literally just clicking through email offers. InboxDollars has evolved over the years, and in great ways. The best thing about them, cashing out is easy, fast, and reliable! I have never had any problems with this app - not an exaggeration. I really don’t think I’ve ever had a problem! Support also responds quickly when you have a question. With so many receipt and offer apps popping up, and with many of them being super scammy, InboxDollars has been AWESOME!!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-03-30, version 4.11*

I love inbox dollars y’all are AWESOME

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-03-21, version 4.11*

Tuff but great
