    All fine on my Android today. Have you checked for any updates?

    Yes no updates :( I use ios, never even seem to get bonus rounds anymore! Hopefully they will start working again soon, thank you!

    Hi, from other other peoples experiences, apps for some of the older versions of ios seem to be no longer being updated. My assumption is that they will no longer be supported.

    It can be financially beneficial to invest in a cheap Android phone. They start at around £20, but there are no certainties with future Swagbucks.

    I hate to say it but that happened to me and I could never get them running again. So I bought a £40 android and run the apps on that instead as there are 7 apps for 'droid and now only 5(?) working for ios.

    If you are thinking of buying an Android phone for running the SB apps and believe that SB will operate the apps in the current way for long enough, get a phone with at least 1 GB and preferably 2 or 3 GB memory for smoother performance and fewer memory issues, and with at least Android 6 and preferably Android 7 so that the phone will support the SB apps for longer into the future.

    For example, the Cubot Hafury Mix has 2 GB memory and Android 7, and costs £70, for a payback time of 5 months, assuming the basic return of 50p per day from running the 7 apps once a day. The possible bonus runs and extra overnight runs, and any contributions to Swago, would help to reduce the payback time.

    Past performance is no guarantee of future returns etc but in the last 3 months just on the mobile apps I have earned over £80 of Amazon vouchers, they also make getting the daily goal and monthly master a piece of cake.
  • For people earning good money on the apps, may I ask what Android phone you have?

    I use Smart Firsts. £25 from Amazon just now. Its Amazons best selling phone. Prices varies on Amazon, sometimes you can get them for £17. 4 GB memory. Swaggy apps work fine.

    If Swagbucks suddenly up the requirements for using apps, they'll lose a lot of users, so my guess is that's unlikely to happen soon.

    IMO its more worthwhile if you also use other Apps and keep your phones busy. Unfortunately, all earnings Apps are pants, but I think Apptrailers is best of the rest.
