Calling all you Android users! How would you like to earn $100 per year for doing something you already do anyways?!

Launched this past July, the FREE Locket Android App delivers print-quality advertising on your smartphone lock screen and then rewards you for simply using your phone (and most Locket users earn about $100 per year!).

Here’s how it works:

* Head over here and install the FREE Locket App (at this time, it is only available for Android phones)
* Sign up with one click through Facebook or with your email address.
* After signing up, every time you wake up your phone, Locket replaces the default lock screen with a family-friendly and print-quality ad
* You are then given two choices – either swipe right to ignore the ad or swipe left to engage with the ad and learn more


* Either way, you’ll earn rewards – cash or a charitable donation
* Note that you are not paid to engage with ads; instead, the Locket algorithm sporadically rewards you throughout the day based on the number of times your phone is unlocked (an average Locket user makes over $100 per year)
* You’ll also have the option to earn more by completing offers in the “Earn More” section

Even better, for the month of October, Locket is giving away $300 every day to a lucky user. All you have to do is click on the ‘Special’ menu inside the app drawer menu and enter. Once you enter, just keep on using Locket as you normally do and you’ll be automatically entered into the daily drawing. Good luck! 😀

    Finally something that is not iphone only!

    • Happymama

      exactly!

  2. bebex0x0

    is anyone doing this?
    might give it a try!

    • Locket

      Hope you like it 🙂 Team Locket!

  3. Jen Mc

    Hmm sounds interesting. Anyone use this?

    • Glenn

      I’ve used it for about a month and earned a little over $3 (not a big swiper here).
      But it’s nice in that it hasn’t required *any* further time or effort on my part after installing. Kind of like finding some change on the sidewalk. So far, no problems with it interfering with any of my other apps or affecting my device’s performance. Would reccomend!

      • Jamie D

        Thanks for your input….gonna try it!!

      • Locket

        Thanks for the kind words 🙂 Team Locket

    I was watching my dfwmommy on tv this morning and she mentioned something about Ibotta. Does anyone use that app??

    • Ambo

      Lots of Hip 2 savers do…Collin posts deals with Ibotta offers frequently

    • Nikki

      I use it. I have found that most of the items are products I don’t buy so it takes forever to get any cash from using it.

      • Nikki

        Shopkick is a good one u can get points while shopping or at home. I use it for the holidays I save up points all year then claim a target gift card.

        • hon h

          thanks for the info. I’ll have to look into that one

        • Amy

          Becareful with Shopkick. I had engough kivks to get 5 $25 giftcards and I was banned. No warning just opened the app one day and had a nice red warning light. I did my walkins and scans as per the user agreement. So all the time I spent scouring the store for the right scan has now been wasted and I now have $125 less in my Christmas fund, that I was reallycounting on, for my 6 kids.

          • Bianca

            Amy, my sister and my friend we both banned and they wouldn’t tel them why. I would escalate the issue with their support team. Both got their accounts reactivated

          • Brandi

            best thing to do.. what I do is the moment I get enough kicks for a $25 I do it then go get a giftcard putting the ecard money on to it so I have the money in my hand for incase they ever wrongly banned me. Just a thought. Sucks they did that to you though 🙁
            One thing REALLY works for target is cartwheel. I do work there so I use both apps but the cartwheel one is just a barcode so cant be banned for doing nothing wrong.

    • Tia

      I’m sure many people will come along and leave you their sign-up link!

    • Torrie

      @hon H
      I use iBotta and I love it! A lot of times you can use it with a good coupon deal and make money off of it, or get it for free at least.
      Here is my referral link if you are interested.

      Ibotta is a great app to receive monies on items that you already purchase…every little bit helps here is my sign up link https://ibotta.com/r/Bj9AVg

      If you don’t have an Iphone, be aware: for the last week or two this app drives me crazy. I have an Android phone, so it’s a headache to scan barcodes off the product to redeem offers. Their support is non-existent. All they suggest to turn the phone on, then off, shut it down, re-install the program- that’s it. So I did. Now I get the following: oops! An unexpected error occurred. Offers out of stock. New offers are on the way. Check back soon. 4 days? Really? I Two of my saved coupons are expiring in 2 days (Tresemme) but I don’t see anything as pending anymore. I am about to give up on this app.

  5. marie

    lots of crashes
    pays 1cent
    not worth your time

    • Locket

      Hi Marie, we’re sorry you feel that way. We’re only in beta and are working towards making the app the best possible. If you’re having problems, send us an email to support @ getlocket.com!

  6. Glenda

    I just downloaded it …so excited!

  7. Tia

    Make sure you read over the Play Store reviews. You have to have $10 to cash out which takes about 3-4 months, it seems. I would give it a shot but my phone is so full. I have to be selective about what I download until I get a new one!

  8. Samantha

    I use this presently, it takes a long time to accumlate enough money to cash out and will frequently crash, but I still have installed on my phone so that must be saying something!

  9. Jessica

    I’ve had the app for about three months and have made $7.xx so far. I will be uninstalling it once I cash out. I do not recommend this app as it kills battery life like no tomorrow and you do not get paid for every ad.

    • Ashley57

      Thanks for the review. I don’t think I am going to do it.

    • Glenn

      Curious. While I too don’t earn very much per month, I don’t have any problems with battery life. I just use it on my wireless-only tablet though – which is probably the reason behind both those things (low earnings, little effect on battery life).

    • Brittany

      I have had it since mid July and only have $6 accumulated. My battery is terrible now add well! I’ll be deleting to save my battery once I get to $10 cash out!

    • Debbie

      you mentioned about eating up the battery life, how about the data. since we’re not on “unlimited” data, i would think it’ll use up some data every time it gets swipe. your thoughts? thanks!

    • Kristen

      Hi Jen, I used your link. 🙂

    • gohogsgoinar

      Hi Jen – I used your link too 🙂

  10. Rebecca

    I used the app for about a month. The most you can earn is about 10 cents a day with the restrictions they have so it takes forever to cash out. Also it would crash ALL the time and make it so i would have to unlock my phone twice… Once for the app and once for my phone unlock screen… Annoying!

    • Serena

      I thought they changed that to unlimited once they left beta. I’ve used it since the first week they launched in beta and cashed out my $10 maybe last month. Already back up to $5 since they lifted the cap per day.

      It eats up about 9% of my battery but I also have a really good battery life so I hardly notice a difference.

  11. Memento

    It there anything for Windows Phone? *sigh*

  12. Ashley

    Ive already earned 13 cents since this post!

    • kelly

      so have I!! I’ve already earned 14 cents!

  13. Celia

    I’ve had this for about 2 months now and am finally up to $3.07. I honestly don’t see how its possible to make $100/yr. I know they were doing a pretty big referral campaign where you’d get $1/referral, but they stopped that as people were abusing it. They do also have a section where you can earn more by completing offers (mostly game downloads), but tbh there are other apps out there like JunoWallet or AppTrailers that pay more (and have a lower payout) than Locket.

  14. Jackie

    I think I will pass on this one. After reading the comments I don’t think I want to spend months using it and then find out that they will not give me the rewards. Not worth it. That’s one thing about H2S that I love…the reviews/comments.

  15. June

    Hmm.. iffy on making something so personal as my phone as a marketing tool and not sure if I like some of their permissions. I think I’ll skip out on this. Regardless, thanks for letting us know such app exists! 🙂

  16. sarah

    I don’t understand does it take longer to get the cents. I’ve done at least 20 penny, one cent swipes, clicks etc but I’m not seeing the points/money adding up. Imm gettin notification of earned one cent but not whne I open the app to check balance….

    • K

      Its doing the same for me… 0 balance but lots of pop ups saying i earned 1 cent each time… If i don’t see a balance by the end of the day I’m uninstalling

  17. Laura

    I’m a little iffy about this one but I will give it a try. Always have the uninstall option.

  18. teri

    I’ve done several view s…but can’t find my balance. Hoe do you see your balance? Anyone know? 🙂

  19. kk

    I have installed and signed up. Did several times unlocking, ads show up but balance not showing up in my app.
