Games that use Pocket Change (daily reward system)

notme123 · September 27th, 2012, 03:51 PM

UPDATED on January 30, 2013.

I play a few games that use an awesome daily reward system called Pocket Change.
The way it works is that every day you get 10 P¢ points when you open each game that has Pocket Change integrated.
UPDATE: Now you can only get 30 points from opening apps. Instead, there are other ways to earn credits, by doing tasks or "events" in apps. You can get these for beating levels in games, and things like that. There is still a daily limit of about 125 points every 24 hours.
So, here are some games that have tasks to earn extra Pocket Change points.

- Candy Monster
- Quazzle (Also Quadris and Pentas from the same developer)
- Crack Your Screen
- Pocket Change (you also earn the daily reward for opening the Pocket Change app itself)

Update: My app also has it now:
- Be Happy! Lite
- Be Happy! Pro ($1.99)

For more apps, read through the posts in this thread from around January 2013 and later.

All the points you get go between games, and you can save up points to buy real prizes.
I have gotten several prizes already. One nice thing is that you can get Amazon MP3s and eBooks, and then exchange them for Amazon Gift Card credit to your Amazon account.

Enjoy!

thats great. like it

Here are my apps, sorry I'm too lazy to write them.

Is there a specific app for Pocket Change? How do you know what games uses pocket change?

notme123 · October 2nd, 2012, 07:19 PM

You can search for "pocket change" (with quotes) in the Play Store, but AFAIK there's no central list of apps. I emailed Pocket Change to suggest they create one. Maybe if enough people ask they'll make one.

notme123 · October 4th, 2012, 09:28 AM

I have good news. I contacted the developers or Extreme Road Trip and they took my suggestion and added Pocket Change to their app! I recommend everyone does the same with their favorite games. Developers are usually pretty open to getting requests from users.

I forgot to post yesterday this yesterday:

Originally I thought that Pocket Change was only for games. I'm an Android app developer, but I don't make games. I contacted Pocket Change though, and they said I could integrate it in my app as well.

So, as of yesterday, my app also has Pocket Change! My app is called "Be Happy!" and it's a simple app that shows self-help tips that teach you how to keep yourself happier. Here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.heightechllc.behappy

It seems they got rid of Pocket Change a few hours after they put it in

I changed my review to ask for it back: http://goo.gl/gRIOa

Aluxian · October 5th, 2012, 10:15 AM

You can find more apps on the pocketchange.com website:
Pocket Change - Home

Uhh... actually I can't find any on the market. I think they're fake.

Other apps (not tested):
Reflexions (paid)
They need to be fed (paid)
Simply Solitaire (free)
Mortal Skies 2 Free
Aircrobatics 3D Arcade (doesn't seem to work)
Mouse Arcade

Does anyone have the apk with Pocket Change? Maybe it still works...

bacia · October 5th, 2012, 11:09 AM

I'm up to 58 games that give tokens now, but as a brand new S3 owner and a first time droid user I don't yet know how to take a screen shot. And 58 is a lot to type. I'm still learning my way around my phone.

Thanks OP for this thread. I've been lurking around in the background.. I wanted to mention a few of the listed games don't give Pocket Change, but actually cost tokens to play. Or atleast it seems that way to me.

But thanks to Pocket Change I have found some awesome games I would have otherwise overlooked.

Aluxian · October 5th, 2012, 11:21 AM

Here you go mate: How to take Samsung Galaxy S3 Screen Shot / Capture / Print Screen - YouTube

Yes, it does seem that way with "Mouse Arcade" posted here. "Aluxian" did mention they weren't tested

viperfet · October 5th, 2012, 01:08 PM

Some apps like Mouse Arcade, Airacrobatics use pocket change tokens to play, so you will lose 1 token every time you play the game.

kitakat · October 6th, 2012, 05:04 PM

DragoPet gives you points too!!

found another few, Scrubs Free: Hidden Object
The enchanted kingdom free
Stand o burger - cooking mania

kitakat · October 6th, 2012, 06:21 PM

Are there any apps (games) that give you points besides the 10 you get daily???

I haven't seen any, but I know that it is possible for developers to do that. I hope to add that to my app (see original post for the link) once I have enough users.

kitakat · October 6th, 2012, 07:32 PM

kitakat · October 6th, 2012, 07:44 PM

bacia · October 7th, 2012, 12:37 AM

Thanks for the screen shot info, sorry I took so long to get back. Hopefully this works, if not I'll jump on my laptop in a bit.

bacia · October 7th, 2012, 12:53 AM

Thank you so much! I sincerely appreciate your rating :-)

kitakat · October 7th, 2012, 10:45 AM

I got a 4 GB sd card and got 20 games, had to go back and uninstall some of the bigger games and install some of the smaller ones.

bacia · October 7th, 2012, 12:42 PM

Maybe you can install and uninstall daily as needed? Ofcourse depending on your plan that would eat gigs like crazy.

Yay for Pocket Change, seems like I'm about 24 days away from the PS3

Here's a few more for you guys. Birds on a wire was .99¢, but its entertaining enough to buy....

kitakat · October 7th, 2012, 02:11 PM

About a month ago you could download some apps and they give you 25 tokens per app, but after update it was eliminated. Also before via pocket change app u could buy tokens if you wanted. But thar was deleted also.

kitakat · October 8th, 2012, 08:38 AM

aww would of loved 25 per app hah
but I can see the reducing it again, when as it gets more and more users..

Where does it state that 100+ apps use PocketChange? I can find only about 60 totally..

viperfet · October 8th, 2012, 11:13 AM

If someone has a Nook tablet, there is lots of apps using PC too.

Birds On A Wire: Match 3
Majesty: Northern Expansion
Cats & Bombs (Both the free one and the paid one have PC)

I'm 3 weeks away from a Nexus 7

BTW guys, I'll share a secret with you: BlueStacks.com
Should I say more? You install it on your PC and it works just like a smartphone. I'm using it on two laptops right now, earning like thrice the normal.

@OP Please update the list and sort the apps in 3 categories: free, paid and not working.

I have exactly 60 apps now, that tablet is getting closer and closer...

Nexus 7? From where? I dont see a nexus 7 on the prizes on PC.

Aluxian · October 9th, 2012, 04:02 AM

I'm planning to get it by using Amazon Gift Cards (I need about 12 for the 8GB type). I've already added my first card in my amazon account so everything's all right so far. The problem is that I can't redeem it more than once, so I'm going to use BlueStacks.

That's a brilliant idea. I have a suggestion for you, please PM me.

kitakat · October 10th, 2012, 08:43 AM

anyone know how you can get the same redemption more than once?
I was thinking about uninstalling pocket change and than installing it again?

kitakat · October 10th, 2012, 10:52 AM

My mom is using the Pocket Change app and so is my brother and they are using the same IP but their points are different? Idk, I wanted to redeem for only Amazon cards but I guess thats not going to happen... but what happens when I get every prize? 0.0

Aluxian · October 10th, 2012, 12:32 PM

Well, you'd need 422916 credits. Even if you have 100 apps that give you 1000 credits every day it would take you more than a year. An entire year opening those apps every single day. You must have a lot of patience my friend...

As I said before, virtual machines is the answer...

BTW does anyone want a starbucks gift card? 1000 credits are wasted because I can't redeem the amazon gift card anymore...

I'm going to order the Bangarang album, just to support Skrillex cuz i luv 'im

I haven't tried it, but you can probably sell the Starbucks gift card online on one of several gift card marketplaces.

Aluxian · October 10th, 2012, 12:48 PM

You're not gonna believe this... I've ordered the Skrillex album as I said and I've received a nice email from amazon with a little (actually large) orange button saying that I can also exchange my album for a gift card. I have to wait max 7 days though for the transfer to be processed. That's great!

I'll keep you updated.

Adding up all the albums I could get another $20... come to me nexus 7... come to daddy.

I've just received the money, I love Pocket Change... http://www.diigo.com/item/image/2eg2n/7b1c
