If you really want to “invest” in most songs…
And now you have to be part of crypto currency wallet shenanigans to get anything. I don’t know about anyone else but I’m out on that.
Used to be fun for a few bucks. Now you can only win prizes for being the top investor in mostly meh songs.
Going by the current top ten - if you’re not just working the system… and you REALLY think more than a hundred new songs here are worth showing to people…I don’t think I can help you. Does remind me of some cool old songs I’ve forgotten sometimes to be fair. Hundreds of songs in day or few tho? Come on. That one real humans would have to spending all day long maybe and the app is not THAT good. Still okay for a better than Instagram amusement.

Imperfect but fun sometimes?

REGULAR REVIEW of the app itself: I mean don’t spend all your spare time with it, it’s a not a side gig just a way to see if there’s anything new out there and get money. Spoilers - not new within the past few years as I see it but you might find some cool bands that started in the past ten years you might like to discover. Also older bands, lots of older music. If the connection works, that’s a more legitimate complaint. Devs you really got to figure out your servers or whatever since I can watch videos elsewhere just fine when your app doesn’t load. I’d generously say 50/50 it works. —- - - Update to update as of 2022 - since people are rating this still, plus it looks like I didn’t mention I figured out getting the Venmo payments. My friend did it too, that works fine. It’s a pittance but if you find it fun why not? There may be a learning curve here I guess…it is still kinda clunky so understandable confusion. It is what it is, don’t do it if it becomes work. — - Update July 11 2021: App is now a bit cleaner. At level 17 still don’t have any matches with others on the app. Still no access to likes, only superlikes,(which basically makes you a private you tube list FYI)After a month I did finally start finding new within the past five years artists I hadn’t heard of before. - - This seems like a fun concept and it still kind of is but it also seems broken.

Skim ahead for regular review and/or indulge a long correction HERE:
-
I came back to trying the update after leaving it for a while and saw a review that said the new coin system requires you to have a 100 coins to cash out, takes too long and only gives a few dollars. Thought I test the theory since I find it wastes less time than instagram or twitter frankly. When I’m in the mood for it.

Since guy likes math he should check it or update because if this ever was true it’s not at this time. NOW they don’t unfortunately use Venmo, they use PayPal and it’s 10 COINS equals 1 DOLLAR. I believe, that equals 100 coins to 10 DOLLARS. A few equals no more than five in my world. Conversions elsewhere? I dunno but it might have taken me a month or less during bus trips. I would prefer to actually be able to cash out more than a dollar at a time.
I have all but the latest version maybe this fixes that. Also have not fully tested the PayPal requesting, will update review if for some reason it doesn’t work.

Only works 50% of the time
Amazing app
Review of Piki
Not a thing
What’s your time worth?
The numbers:
Rate 10 songs (x 15 seconds each): 150 seconds
3 blocks of 10 songs (30 songs) to earn 1 coin: 450 seconds
100 coins is 45,000 seconds which is 750 minutes (12.5 HOURS)… for $3? That’s .24/hr. This is all based on hitting x or like immediately when able to (rare). If you super like so you have the opportunity for their bogus investment option, plan to spend more than 12.5 hours of your time for $3.
SOMETIMES you can get through a song in 6 seconds vs 15, but this is rare. They increased the length of time you must listen before rating to make sure it takes a long time so you get tired and stop playing songs.
I’ve stuck by Piki through many of their ups and downs recently, but this is just abuse of the members that are making them money and is the final straw for me. I thought things were bad in the past, this is beyond unacceptable. Don’t waste your time.

Good but,
Back to scamming
Spend 5-10 min a day and make a buck? Not anymore. Piki keeps increasing the number of songs you have to rate before cashing out. They continue to add features that make THEM money while increasing the number of bugs in the app and increasing number of songs you have to rate. They purposely break the app so it takes HOURS to get through the 450 songs you have to rate (15 levels and 30 songs each level). They decided that wasn’t enough and have stopped paying out at all. I’ve stuck it out with Piki but what they’re doing is wrong. They haven’t paid out to anyone in over a week.
Don’t waste your time. They’re making money off you and not holding their end of the bargain.
Stopped offering rewards
Loving it
Awesome app
Sasha is quick to respond to emails and Venmo payments are always timely when they are made, even with occasional small delays. So glad I discovered this app.
