The app does in fact pay you, but it lost my progress multiple times in a row without so much as even a warning or a post-message about why. I've earned enough points for close to $8 over the course of one day but was only able to cash out a little more than $1. Spent the entire day only to have the app forget my progress and waste my time. Still possible to earn money though so not 1 star, although the closest thing to actual cash value is an Amazon gift card.
