Just a reminder to check out Zapiddy if you have an iPhone and/or iPad…

Zapiddy is a free iPhone app that pays users to answer questions. After downloading and registering the app, Zapiddy users (called Zappers) may accept Jobs — brief, easy surveys. Just click on the FIND JOBS tab to find jobs available in your local area.

Wondering what kind of “work” Zapiddy requires?! Typical Zapiddy jobs take place in stores–like Target or Walmart or your local supermarket. For about 3 minutes of actual work (once you’re in the store), Zapiddy normally pays $4. For more involved or higher priority jobs, Zapiddy pays as much as $12.

For example, one Zapper earned $12 last Sunday for snapping a couple pictures at a Walgreens in Chicago, like this one pictured above.

More commonly, Zapiddy users earn four bucks for photos like these below:


Sometimes Zapiddy will alert users to nearby jobs (using push notifications and/or email). But users who check Zapiddy themselves typically get first and best pick of the available work.

Zapper Mary in Mooresville, NC just earned $4 for a few pics at a Dollar General, including this clear photo:

    Looks like the new age of mystery shopping, which is awesome! Too bad I don’t have an iphone and my ipad is so outdated that it doesn’t meet the requirements, lol. Hopefully they’ll branch it out to Android phones sometime in the near future. =)

      Yeah! I hope they do consider Android users! I used to be a Mystery shopper when I had more time.

    I have the newest iPad but pop up said that my iPad was incompatible because I didn’t have GPS. I was not aware that any iPad had GPS?

    • Bobbie

      Ok I get it, I have wi -fi only iPad.

    My issue is that there are very few offers in my area. Then when there is one, I usually can’t get there until the next day and then the offer is gone!

    It’s great if you are able to go right away, but usually it’s not worth what the gas costs to drive there and back for $4. I drive an SUV, so even a few miles takes my earnings down to almost nothing and my time is worth more than that!

    I haven’t seen any offers in my area yet. What time of day is best to check for jobs? Early morning? After 8 AM?

    • Betty Sunflower

      It really varies. Weekends tend to be busiest; but jobs can be added at any time.

    I’ve been using it since May and made $18 total. I only do the jobs if I don’t have to use extra gas to get there. But if I’m going to a store anyhow I think of it as a bonus. Doesn’t seem like much but at this rate that’s about $60 a year. I’ll take it! That pays for several Christmas gifts. And I love that it goes direct to my Paypal without having to hit a minimum payout amount like many apps.
