Zapiddy iPhone App: Earn Money While You Shop

What is Zapiddy?
Zapiddy is a free iPhone app that pays users via Paypal to answer shopping-related questions providing an easy and fun way to earn a little money while you shop!

What do Zappers do to earn money with their iPhones?
Most Zapiddy jobs happen in stores. By answering questions about retail conditions such as, “Where did you find the Brand X display?”, Zappers are helping product marketers better understand their marketplace. Sometimes Zappers are asked to snap a photo as well like this Zapper pic above from a Rite Aid drugstore.


Some Zapping happens at fast food places and helps defray the cost of lunch. This Zap was a corndog-decorating contest; so it can be fun to be a Zapper.

Where and when can I use Zapiddy?
Always check the Find Jobs tab to see what jobs are available near you. Zapiddy jobs can become available in all kinds of stores in big cities as well as in small towns. For example, this week there are Zaps to be done in Subway sandwich shops all over the US. Later this month, watch for Zaps in hundreds of CVS stores—coast to coast. Weekends tend to be busiest Zapping times. Also, be sure to allow push notifications from Zapiddy so that you can be alerted if Zapping needs to be done in your area.

To get started, head on over here to download Zapiddy for free from the iTunes App Store.

    How funny! Looks like companies have found a cheaper way to ensure their products are displayed in the space they’ve payed the store promotional monies for. In the past they paid a rep to check for compliance in various chains, but now, with a photo snapped by a customer such as the one above with the oreo display Nabisco can clearly see the display is up and in the right place without the hassle of actually paying an employee. And, if its not, they get out of paying promotional monies to the chain for that location. Outsourcing without leaving the USA. 🙂

    I’ve been using it for quite a while and it’s just a way to earn a few dollars when your already at the location. They are easy and quick for the pay. Not a big money maker.

    Signed up over a year ago and there are never any “jobs” in my area. Not worth it.

    I actually LOVE Zappidy. I’ve been using it for about 18 months and I’ve made over $100. I just plan to do my weekly shopping trip during a job that consistently pops up a couple times a month at the same time and pays fairly well. It’s easy and their customer support is great. I’ve never had any problems at all with them or with getting paid.
