Anybody using the Checkpoints app in UK?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.checkpoints.app&hl=en_GB

Apparently it's not meant to work in UK, but on Reddit I was told that it's ok to sideload it and you won;t be banned for using it outside the US.

Has anybody tried or volunteer to try?

    There are tons of apps that work in the UK so not sure why anyone would want to go out of their to use this?

    Because the alternatives are crap. Swagbucks is only 60 points a day. Perk is basically dead. What other apps are available? Sorry I'm a bit busy lately and I might have missed something.

    So what is the earning potential on this app then? (daily)

    Not much. Apparently about 30-40 cents of a dollar per day, however Perk nowadays seems to be about 10-15p a day per phone. And they're banning accounts like crazy.

    So it is 19-20 p a day when you convert and it is not available in the UK officially. Doesn't sound a good enough deal to try to me :) Let us know how you get on if you do though.

    I only use my Android phone for Swagbucks just now, but make about 30 quid of Amazon a month.

    There's the apps but I also do 1 or 2 surveys. Credits for survey disqualification, noso, poll, booster codes and it adds up. I don't bother with offers.

    You can also combine with desktop earnings on Swagbucks. Although I don't.

    I hope Perk doesn't die. I use Perk Quiz quite a bit and like answering the questions at times. I don't like when they play videos, but recently the ads have just been pop ups that you can quickly close.
