WiFi Mine App Review: Scam or Legit? Full Breakdown & Transcript

[00:00] So, I downloaded an app called WiFi Mine  after some of you have asked me about it.   And within just a few minutes of signing up and  watching a few video ads, I had apparently earned   $23. Sounds great, right? Well, stick around  because what happened next is exactly why  

[00:14] I decided to make this video. My name is  Mikael and in this video I'm going to show   you exactly how the WiFi Mine app works, how I  supposedly earned more than $23 within minutes,  

[00:26] and most importantly, what happened when I kept  testing it further. Because on the surface,   it looks like one of those apps where you can earn  really quickly. But once you dig a little deeper,   there are some things you definitely need to be  aware of before spending any time on it. I'll  

[00:40] for yourself whether Wi-Fi Mind is actually worth  your time or not. So, let's start by talking about   who can join. And WiFi Mine is an app. It's only  available for Android devices. So, just keep that  

[00:54] in mind. If you are on an iOS device and you want  to earn, I'll leave a link in the top corner. I   also have a video about the best options for that.  But when it comes to countries, they don't have a   list of the exact countries, but it does look like  you can join from more or less all countries. But  

[01:07] before doing that, please watch this full video  so you know what you can realistically expect. So,   let me now log in and then we'll take a closer  look. So, I am now logged into the Wi-Fi Mine   app. And just to make you aware that as soon as  you open it the first time, actually, even before  

[01:23] I was able to get to see what was inside, there  were ads popping up. Personally, I really dislike   that when an app or website is so aggressive  that they just bombard you with ads before you   even know what's going on there. So, that's just  one thing that I want to make you aware that gave  

[01:36] me kind of a bad experience right away. But, I  did get $10 into my account just for signing up   and then I could double it just by watching an ad.  So, that means that within a few seconds basically  

[01:48] I had earned $20. Then after that, I could check  in and had to watch another ad. And this all was   actually before I even was able to get an inside  look. And before doing that, I supposedly earned  

[02:01] $23 right away that I could see in my account. And  you can still see them up here. So, it seems like   a really great start. But of course, I decided to  test it further. If you watch my videos before,   you know that I have tested hundreds of methods,  so I know when to dig deeper. And in this case,  

[02:17] there was just some things that didn't quite make  sense. So, the first thing is the earning method   itself, because it says here that you just have a  Wi-Fi network and then you can claim. So, you can   claim earnings basically just by clicking here.  You can you can earn. But what are you actually  

[02:31] doing? Because it doesn't really make sense this  whole thing. What are you doing with Wi-Fi? I'm   basically just watching an ad now. Here the ad  is over. I just have to go to Google Play. Then I   can go back here and then have to wait a few more  seconds and then I can close it down. And then you  

[02:46] can see then I earned 140 coins. So sometimes  I earn coins, sometimes I earn dollars. I can   then double it if I want to do that. I will then  earn twice as much of course there or at least   later. And these earning methods, they just don't  make sense because you see here they have like  

[03:05] speed test reward, Wi-Fi security reward, Wi-Fi  position reward, battery guardian reward. Like   it's not really like any real test in my opinion  anyway and experience here. It's just ways to get   you to watch ads so they can make money. And they  just instead of saying that you're just watching  

[03:21] ads and earning because then you would probably  know that these high earnings are not realistic.   Then they make it sound fancy with checking your  Wi-Fi speed test, all these different things.   But all you're doing is is basically just to watch  ads. Like these earning methods don't make sense  

[03:36] because whenever you find an earning website, an  app, you have to ask yourself why would they pay   me for this? It's like watching ads. It's clear  that like they have advertisers. They maybe paying times when it comes to earning by watching ads,  but why would they pay you to do like a speed  

[03:54] test of your Wi-Fi, things like that. There are  some unusual methods sometimes where you can earn,   you with ads. So, it's very clear that their way  of monetizing is by getting you to watch ads.  

[04:06] That's how they earn. But also these earnings here  that I earned, you can see here, more than $32 in   just maybe 10 minutes or something like that. I  just know that by watching ads, that's just not  

[04:18] realistic. But what I have also noticed and what  I've also heard from a lot of other people that   have tested is that you do earn this much here at  first, but then it will go lower and lower and it   will be harder and harder to earn. And that means  it will suddenly when you get closer to the payout  

[04:33] threshold be extremely hard to earn anything.  So you think that you're getting very close to   payout threshold, but you just suddenly basically  earn nothing. So it will become extremely hard to   end up reaching it and thereby also become very  difficult to get paid. But speaking of getting  

[04:50] paid, let's talk a little bit more about that. So  I have now jumped to the payout section here. And   here's a couple of other red flags because I can  see that I've earned some coins that are worth   around $6 and I have $32 there. But it doesn't  say anything else. Like when a website or an app  

[05:07] doesn't show you exactly what the threshold is,  what are the payout options, that's always a huge   red flag. But when you scroll down, you can see  that you actually can get paid supposedly when   you've earned $50. So that's another red flag. An  app I've tested hundreds and $50 payout threshold  

[05:26] is just extremely high. I've seen it a few times.  A legit app or website offer that, but it's   extremely rare. And you see I I just click there  and it just says your balance is insufficient. Go   ahead and do task here. But how can I get paid?  Why are they not telling me that? That's just so  

[05:40] strange. And again, they just have ass plastered  everywhere. So it's a terrible experience. You   have no idea about the payout terms and all that.  But it's very clear based on my test that the main  

[05:52] idea here for them is to just get you to watch  ads and to then get you to give up before you   will actually ever reach a payout threshold. And  I'm not the only one saying this. Let's just jump   and look at what a few other people are saying  also. So I have just jumped to the reviews on  

[06:09] Google Play and I'm careful to ever believe  reviews on pages like this or Trust Bible or   whatever because they can be faked and they often  are. And if you actually look here, it does look   like they have really great ratings. They have 4.5  and they have more than 8,000 reviews supposedly.  

[06:24] But when you actually look at the reviews, then  you can see there are a lot of one-star ones.   Then there's a lot of fivestar ones, but they are  very superficial and there are ton of them right   after each other. And I just know also that it's  not natural for an app that is not more known or  

[06:38] famous like this to get this many organic reviews.  So there's something suspicious going on here.   This many here. Cool. Love it. Awesome app. So  far so good. Five star. Five stars. Five stars. It   doesn't make sense. And then you have all these  one style again saying once you approach the  

[06:52] minimum withdrawal, you don't earn anything. And  then somebody a fivestar easy to you. See there's   no details. very suspicious here. And again also  someone here says it again superficial fivestar   reviews bombarded everywhere. So that's why you  cannot always trust the average rating here. You  

[07:07] need to look at it and see do the reviews actually  make sense. And what you can see is if you just   sort it by the star rating, the one star ratings,  then you can see you will be wasting time. You're   not able to withdraw. When you reach a minimum  threshold or get closer, you won't earn anything.  

[07:22] And you see somebody here is just five cents to  get the $50 to cash out and just keeps earning   nothing whenever he watches ads or do anything.  So you can see a ton of people are saying this   and based on my experiences after years of testing  apps, it's very clear that this is not an app I  

[07:38] would recommend. It's very very unlikely you will  be able to get paid. You will just spend a ton of   time because I just know that it's not realistic  for an app to pay this much here for watching ads.   In general, you will not earn a lot by watching  ads. There are legit platforms that will do that,  

[07:52] but you will sometimes have to maybe watch  a thousand ads to earn $1. But if you really   insist on earning that way, because I do know some  people really love that, then I will leave a link   below to a list I have on my website of the best  pay-to-click websites. Just don't expect to earn a  

[08:08] lot, but at least those ones I know that you will  earn and that they definitely do pay and they're   very transparent about what you can expect. And  if you want to earn from your phone in general,   I also do have a video, I'll leave it here on  the screen next to me about the best ways to  

[08:21] earn by playing games. So you can watch that next  if you want some inspiration about some other ways   to potentially earn that in my opinion are way  better. This one definitely one I would stay away   below. And finally, if this video helped you,  make sure to hit the like button and don't
