The payout threshold for RTV is $10 and the payout is via
PayPal. There are no other options. This is quite a bit higher than the minimum
threshold of other apps (i.e. Perk, AppTrailers etc.), but it isn’t
unreasonably high. Despite the single option for payout, I feel that cash is
nearly always superior to gift cards and other payout methods. Also, the
conversion rate of 1000 acorns per dollar is better than the cash payout rates
for Perk (1100 pts/$ for Perk Plastik & much worse for PayPal) and on par
with the payout rate for AppTrailers. So, that is a plus.
One thing to note about payouts is the fact that I have not
requested a payout yet. So, I have no firsthand experience of receiving money
from RTV. However, the reviews I have read regarding payouts indicate that
payments are received via PayPal in about 15-20 days on average. This is quite
a bit longer than other apps. So, there is no instant gratification. However,
the reviews do indicate that payments are received. So, the best suggestion I
can make is to cash out once per month. It does appear that the cash-outs could
be pretty lucrative. So, we’ll see if this app goes the way of other apps
(Perk, Swagbucks TV, checkpoints) to limit the earning potential.
One thing I haven’t discussed yet is the limitation on the
number of devices and accounts. As usual, users are limited to one account.
However, there can be up to 7 devices per account at the same time. This is
pretty generous. When the app was announced by the RTV team, via Reddit, they
indicated as much. So, you don’t have to take my word for it. If you feel the
urge to run the app on 7 devices at once, you are free to do so.
Lastly, I feel that I should mention that this app doesn’t
play nice with virtual android emulators (Nox, Memu, Bluestacks). The app will
run, but the ads will eventually cause the app to crash or get stuck and limit
your earnings. If you have the ability to babysit the virtual devices, then you
should be ok. If not, I wouldn’t recommend using the app in that fashion. The
app does, however, work better on physical android phones with reasonable
computing power (I am running a Galaxy S6 with no issues). There are some
issues with the app getting stuck between videos and ads which require the
process to be restarted. But the issues are fewer and farther between on
physical devices. Also, after extended periods, the app can run out of ads to
show which will limit your earnings. When this happens, it is probably best to
switch to a new app for the day and test it out again the next day.
VERDICT –
Provided that this app pays out as it promises, it is definitely worth running.
Also, it is much simpler and more reliable than apps like PerkTV. It would seem
like a good idea to run this on a spare or old device as it completely ties up
a phone to run. Also, I know that a lot of passive earners do use multiple cheap
android phones to run passive earning apps. These can be found on the cheap at
Walmart, Amazon etc. I have not tried to run the app on cheap phones, but I am
not aware of any reason why it wouldn’t work. I will provide an update to this
post when/if I receive my first payout.
