Earnstar App Review: Is It Worth Using in 2025?

So everyone, Earnstar is brand new — at least here in Australia — and it instantly caught my attention with its setup. The app runs in USD, which is great to see, and it has this prize draw section where if I hit $5, I get a random bonus — sometimes just straight USD, other times like a timed earning boost. There's also a level system built in. For example, once I hit $2.80, I get 20 cents just for that. Every level changes the requirement though, so it's something you need to keep an eye on.

The offers themselves are laid out clearly and the best ones were actually decent. I liked how they had PayPal, Revolut, Visa, and even 81 gift cards here in Australia. What really stood out to me was once I hit my first $5, the minimum cash out dropped to just $1 USD, which is excellent. So yeah — from my side of things, Earnstar worked exactly as it said it would. I got my reward and had no real issues besides needing to verify my mobile number.

Survey Strategy: How I Choose the Best Reward Offers

When it comes to surveys, I always say: value your time. The way I approached it was pretty straightforward — I aimed for surveys that were around 15 minutes or less, and ideally paying close to a dollar. If I absolutely had to, I'd go as low as 75 cents, but only if there wasn’t much else. You don’t want to waste time on the long ones unless they’re actually worth it.

There were plenty of surveys on Earnstar, and I found a good mix. The trick is really checking daily because it constantly changes. Some days, the rates are better than others. So if you’re into surveys, just make it part of your routine. That’s how I managed to earn most of the balance for the video.

Money Time Issues: Low Rewards and Account Lockouts

So Money Time isn't new — I’ve covered it before — but I wanted to give it another go. I played Sword Slash for an hour straight and earned over a million in their in-game currency, started with $1.69 in my balance… and by the end, I only got around 30 cents. That’s super low for Money Time standards and definitely not what I expected.

But the real issue was the selfie verification. Since I’ve used the app before and reinstalled it, it now tells me that my selfie is tied to another account. That means I literally can’t cash out unless I find someone else to do the selfie for me. That $2 just sits there locked in the account unless support gets back to me — and honestly, I don’t have much hope for that. It's really frustrating, especially as someone who reviews these things.

Planet Pop Explained: Crypto, Ads, and Withdrawal Test

Planet Pop is an interesting one. It’s a match-3 style game — very familiar — but packed with ads. After every level, there’s another ad, and it looks like they’re sharing a bit of that revenue with you through the in-game rewards. There’s also a streak system — the first time I logged in for the day, I got bonus currency just for playing.

Now for people into crypto, this might appeal more. It offers IOTA, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and even PayPal, but the PayPal minimum was $10 with a 10-day wait, which feels high for a game like this. I went with IOTA instead. I converted the currency in the app, then cashed out 13 cents to my wallet, and it actually hit instantly — took about 40 minutes total.

The whole thing does work, but the progress is really slow. I don’t think it’s something you’re going to want to grind unless you're just killing time and happen to like match games.

Gem Racer Overview: My Own Reward App for the Community

Gem Racer is something I built for the Discord community — a little pixel arcade racer that I put together just to give back. When you open it, you’ll see your gems on the left, trophies in the middle, and then super gems on the right, which are tied to the reward system on Discord.

You just tap play and go — avoid hazards, collect the gems and trophies, and every 30 seconds or so a super gem drops in. It’s designed to be a quick, casual game you can play while you’re waiting around or on the train. There’s also an item system where every 2 minutes you get something like a shield or bonus gems — just a nice extra layer for longer runs.

Gem Racer Leaderboard and Shop: How Rewards Are Given Out

Every two minutes, you’ll earn an item, but the real hook is the leaderboard. It’s tied to your Google Play account, and at the end of each month, I check the all-time leaderboard to see who’s in the top three. That’s who gets the rewards — nothing fancy, just something small to say thanks. I reset it every month, so everyone has a chance to climb.

You can also spend your gems in the shop — either free ones you earn from playing or super gems you pick up during races. Skins are all available for free players, but if you want to support the project and bump the reward pool, there’s an option to buy 25,000 gems for 99 cents. No pressure at all — everything can be done without paying. This is all just something I’m experimenting with, and I’ll update everyone on how it goes over time.
