If you are seeking an easy way to make some extra cash in your spare time for answering super short surveys, the 1Q app is definitely worth checking out. This app, which can be downloaded from the iPhone app store and Google Play, pays you instantly for answering short surveys that take from a few seconds to a few minutes to complete.

How does 1Q work?

Simply download the app and create an account. As part of the process, you will be required to provide some basic demographic information, which will be used to match you with surveys that are relevant to your age, gender, location and other demographics.

As soon as a survey becomes available for you, you will receive a notification from the 1Q app on your phone. Make sure you turn on notifications! Don’t delay in opening the app once you receive the notifications, because surveys are only available for a limited amount of time and expire quickly. Typically, the survey will consist of anywhere from 1-5 questions, although a few surveys may have a few more questions. Once you finish responding to the survey, you will be paid immediately via PayPal. Survey payment varies but it is typically between $0.25 and $1.50, although every once in a while you may receive a survey that pays a few dollars more.

You definitely won’t get rich via this app, but it is some nice extra change that can be used for a Dunkin coffee run once or twice a month for many. It’s not bad for a few seconds worth of work! For extra convenience, payments are made via PayPal immediately after you take the survey.

Pros of using 1Q

• One of the best advantages of 1Q is that the surveys are short and super easy to complete. The app is very easy to use. Yes, there are some kinks every now and then – when the app freezes but it happens very infrequently.
• You can also complete the surveys virtually anywhere you have service. You can be out-and-about at a store, at the gym, at home, etc.
• Unlike a lot of other apps that require a minimum of $10 or more to even access your money, which can take weeks. 1Q pays you instantly after each and every survey. And you will get a notification from PayPal via email as well stating that the money is available in your account.
• You sometimes get to preview and provide feedback regarding commercials, including commercials that eventually wind up appearing during the Super Bowl. It’s fun to be part of the commercial evaluation process!

Cons of using 1Q

• Most people don’t receive a ton of surveys to complete but you can typically expect at least four surveys a month, if not more.
• Surveys are based on demographics (e.g., age, gender, location) – so not everyone will receive the same amount of surveys.
• Most surveys expire very quickly (within minutes for some) – so if you are not someone who has their phone handy at most times, it might not be worth it to download the app.
• Sometimes the app will glitch, which may cause you to miss out on a survey.

Overall thoughts on 1Q

1Q is an easy to use app and a great way to earn extra cash. You definitely won’t make a ton of money but it is a nice way to earn some cash here and there. I have been using 1Q on and off since 2016 and I have made $172.50 since I started. Full disclosure, I have missed a lot of surveys do to not being near my phone to hear the notification (approximately 59 in the last few years) – so my earning potential was actually quite a bit more. It is a fun and easy app and I highly recommend that you download it today.
