PopSlide is not just your ordinary lockscreen. This lightweight, yet
fully loaded, app displays ads, gives access to different articles and
mobile applications, and the most fun of it all, provides rewards to all
its users. Sounds interesting, huh? After trying out the app, I can put
the experience in 3 simple words: Learn. Earn. Enjoy.
LEARN
PopSlide lets you LEARN about different products through its
advertisements. It keeps you on the loop on what's happening and what
the world has to offer through the selected interesting articles it
displays. And it gives you access to different mobile applications you
may find worth the download.
There are three actions available in PopSlide:
 |
SWIPE UP OR DOWN
See more ads |
 |
SWIPE LEFT
Gives you more details about the ad |
 |
SWIPE RIGHT
Brings you to your homescreen |
EARN
PopSlide is a rewards app too! You don't just learn, but you earn from
it too! Looking at the ads, reading the articles, or trying out the apps
that PopSlide offers correspond to points that, later on, you can use
to redeem an item of your choice. Here are different ways to earn points
in PopSlide:
Swipe left to get more details about the ad.
Sometimes swiping right gives you partial points too.
Play the PopSlide roulette
It may not earn you points but swiping left to a giveaway ad earns you a
raffle entry. And you may do this everytime you see that ad so you'll
get more chance of winning the raffle.
Collect stamps by opening the PopSlide app everyday.
Don't miss a day or you'll lose all your stamps!
Earn BIG points by completing missions.
Every PopSlide user gets a unique promo code. Have someone install
PopSlide using your promo code and both of you will earn points.
ENJOY
Enjoy the perks of using PopSlide. If you have enough points, you May
use it to redeem mobile loads. And if your lucky enough, you may also be
one of the lucky winners of the PopSlide giveaways!
Now that you have an idea on what the app has to offer, here are some of my thoughts on it:
WHAT I LOVE
- It doesn’t just show regular advertisements for products.
- It gives me option to choose which ad/article to view.
- With just a swipe, I can easily earn an entry to a raffle.
- It has a referral bonus.
- It's fun to use especially if your past time is to just browse anything on the internet.
WHAT I QUITE DIDN’T LIKE
- Currently, PopSlide is only available on Android devices.
- Since the app requires internet connection, points wont be earned even if you swipe left when you're offline.
- Documentation is not updated. For
example, in the FAQ, it says that SmartBro is not included in the
redeemable items but when you look at the actual list of items that be
redeemed, it's there. (version 3.1.3.1)
WHAT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE
- New redeemable items
- Implement an offline pointing system.
Though it may not be significant for articles and app downloads, it
would be nice to still earn points for just regular ads.
- Show the total number of raffle entries per giveaway
- Make sure that documentation is also updated when uploading a new version to avoid confusion.
- More articles and giveaways
