The UK has reportedly reached the highest level of inflation since January 2024, according to the Office for National Statistics. Everyday purchases like a simple cup of coffee now range from £3.00 to £6.00, depending on where you live. What used to be small, affordable perks are now noticeable dents in our wallets.
Survey Reward Apps: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
In times of financial strain, it’s natural to look for new ways to save or earn a little extra. From second-hand shopping to cutting down on big-name brands to supermarket own brands, people are becoming more resourceful. But what if there was a solution that meant you didn't have to make small sacrifices? One popular option is reward apps, they let you earn by sharing insights or completing tasks. But if you’ve ever tried survey apps, you’ll know they can be frustrating: long questionnaires, endless disqualifications, and minimal payout for your time.
A Smarter Way to Earn With Your Phone
That’s where MSR is different. The MSR app is a task-based reward app that requests users for their smartphone habits and insights, giving users full control over what they share, keeping identities anonymous, and making earning straightforward.

Backed by major broadcasters, the panel has grown rapidly, with thousands of participants contributing to groundbreaking research and getting paid monthly for their insights. It's like having your TV subscription paid for!
