About Daily: Learn and Earn
Daily: Learn and Earn turns a couple of minutes of curiosity into something you can cash out. Every day deals nine cards, one for each category - Geography, History, Science & Nature, Sports, Pop Culture, Space, Food & Drink, Music and Random Fun. Each is a question; tap it to reveal the answer and collect a coin.
There is also a Daily Quiz: ten random questions once a day, paying a coin for each one you get right. The app is paid for by advertising - a banner, and short videos. A video adds three to nine coins to a card you have already revealed, or doubles what a quiz you have already finished paid; revealing a card and answering the quiz never need one. That is the app sharing back what an advertiser paid to reach you, which is where the money in a reward app comes from.

What it actually pays
Every figure this needs is already on the page, so here is the division spelled out. Nine cards pay a coin each and the Daily Quiz pays a coin for each of ten questions, so a complete day without watching anything is 19 coins. A coin is a tenth of a cent — 2,000 coins is $2.00 — and 2,000 is the first cash-out. Derived: about 105 days, a perfect day every day, to a first $2.00.
A video adds three to nine coins to a card already revealed, and doubles what a finished quiz paid, which takes a full day to somewhere between 56 and 110 coins and brings the same $2.00 in roughly 18 to 36 days. Both numbers belong in front of you before you install rather than after, because the gap between them is the honest shape of the app.
That is pocket money and we are not going to dress it up. It is a share of what an advertiser paid to reach you, which is a fraction of a cent per impression, and the arithmetic above is what that ceiling looks like from the inside. If you want the same division done on the big apps, we do it in the reviews using their published figures.
Frequently asked questions
Is Daily: Learn and Earn free?
Yes, and there's nothing to buy. It's funded by advertising - a banner, and optional short videos - and the coins are a share of that revenue passed back to you. The facts themselves are all there either way.
What do I need to run it?
An iPhone or iPad on iOS 15.0 or later, or an Android phone or tablet. The two stores rate it differently — 4+ on the App Store, Teen on Google Play — for the same questions, so if you are deciding for a child, the App Store rating is the one that reflects the content.
How much do I need to cash out?
2,000 coins, the same first-payout minimum as every one of our apps. After your first, it is 5,000 coins, or $5.00, in all of them. The redeem screen shows what your balance is currently worth.
How do I get paid?
The coins from revealed cards build into a balance you cash out through PayPal, from the redeem screen in the app.
Is there an Android version?
Yes, on Google Play, and this was the first of ours to get one. All four reward apps are on both stores now. It's the same app on the same terms: coins for revealing cards, and a cash-out to PayPal at 2,000 coins, which is $2.00, then 5,000 after that.
If I switch phones, do my coins come with me?
No, and this is the one thing to know before you build a balance up. The app keeps your coins on the device rather than in an account, so an Android balance and an iPhone balance are separate and each has to reach 2,000 on its own. There's nothing to transfer between them. Cash out before you change phones. We put this in an FAQ rather than the small print because we've criticized another app in this category for burying exactly this - see our Mistplay review.
How much is there to do each day?
Nine cards, one in each category, plus the Daily Quiz - ten random questions you can play once a day. A card pays a coin when you reveal the answer; the quiz pays a coin for each question you get right.
