Frequent users of their smartphone can get paid for something they already do: unlock their phone. Put all 6 of these apps on your phone and use them simultaneously to maximize your income. See an app that isn’t on the list? Leave it in the comments below.
1. Screen Stash
Screen Stash is one of the higher-paying lock screen apps out there as well as the most passive. Once you install it on your phone, there’s literally no extra work that needs to be done. The only thing different is that an ad appears when you unlock your phone.
Whether you choose to engage or not in the ad, you still get paid. Once you reach a minimum of 1,500 points you can cash out for $1. However, we recommend saving up for a bit more since your points become more valuable the more you save up.
On average, I find that I can earn about $5 – $10 per month using the Screen Stash app. While it’s not much, it’s definitely the least intrusive on this list and most passive.
2. Adme
Last but not least comes Adme. While it doesn’t offer anything incredibly special, users can be pretty much guaranteed to earn anywhere from $10 – $15 dollars per month. You receive $1 dollar just for signing-up. Each time you get paid you receive about $.02 cents, but you won’t get cash each time you swipe your phone. Adme is very strict about fraudsters trying to earn extra cash, so they have an extra strict algorithm in how you earn money.

3. Fronto
Each time you unlock your phone, Frontowill pay you for doing one of four things: reading news articles, downloading apps, get involved in promotions, or simply unlocking your phone. Fronto comes out on top at #1 due to its expected yield of $20 per month, a lot higher than most lockscreen apps. It’s usually best to save up until you can cash out when you reach $25 dollars since your points will go a lot farther when you cash out in higher increments.

4. Perk Screen
Perk Screen belongs to Perk, a series of reward apps that pays you for doing certain tasks. Perk Screen comes in at #2 since it is linked with your Perk account. This means whether you’re earning money through Perk TV or Perk Screen, all the points will accumulate into one account, making it easier and quicker to cash out. Don’t expect to make much from this app alone. It usually helps to be using other Perk Apps to help supplement your income.

5. Slidejoy
Members of lockscreen apps know all too well of Slidejoy, a veteran in the rewards app list. Users can expect to make anywhere from $5 – $15 dollars per month with more frequent phone users on the higher end. You get a free $.20 cents for signing-up and have the option of automatically donating all proceeds to charity. Get friends to sign-up and you will earn 20% of their first month’s earnings.

6. ScreenPay
This app has one of the lowest payouts yet one of the most generous referral programs. ScreenPay will give you $3 dollars for each friend that is active for at least 30 days, and your friend will even receive a $1 dollar bonus when signing-up. Users can expect anywhere from $7 – $15 dollars a month, but more realistically will earn on the lower end of that number. Funds can only be withdrawn to PayPal at this time.

Final Thoughts
The best part about all of the apps is that they can be used l together. Each lockscreen app installed on your phone will appear in a different order when you unlock it. For example, Perk Screen will appear. When you swipe it away, Fronto appears. This continues until you get to your main screen.
Do this with all 5 apps installed on your phone and you could earn an extra $50 – $60 per month for unlocking your phone. This is something you would normally do, essentially making these apps a stream of passive income.
The only problem one might encounter with these apps is that they only work with Android devices. Sorry iOS users, but Apple is very strict about what apps they accept.
