Google Opinion Rewards app surpasses 100M downloads on Play Store
Google Opinion Rewards, an application designed to provide users with free Play Store credit in exchange for answering surveys and uploading purchase receipts, has now surpassed 100 million downloads on the Play Store. This milestone comes four years after the app reached its previous benchmark of 50 million downloads. The app's growth rate may be considered slow but it signifies steady progress nonetheless.
App's functionality and privacy concerns
Google Opinion Rewards is a simple and effective way for Android users to earn Play Store credit. The app requires access to location history and other data, to generate questions about various places such as stores, restaurants, bars, as well as general interest topics. However, this requirement has raised privacy concerns among some users, who may prefer not to share their location information or survey data.
Versatile usage of earned credits
The credits earned through Google Opinion Rewards can be used for more than just app downloads or in-app purchases. Users also have the option to trade their credits for YouTube Music subscriptions, and books on the Play Store. This versatility adds value to the app and may be a contributing factor to its growing popularity despite privacy concerns.
Limited availability could explain slow growth
According to Google's support pages, the app is only available in a select list of 30 countries. This limited availability could be a contributing factor to the relatively slow growth rate of Google Opinion Rewards. Despite these limitations, the app continues to attract new users and maintain its existing user base with its unique credit-earning system.
