Falsely advertised

I have been watching and things seem to be on the up and up when I first started watching their videos money would flow in a dollar here a dollar there once you get to the amount that you need to cash out they start giving you one cent or you can watch an advertisement and they can boost it up to three cents. There are so many ads in BuzzReels you will literally spend most of your time watching ads. I’m giving up with $.29 left to go. They should advertise what this actually is or it should be taken down for false advertisement!

Scam

I downloaded BuzzReels because it supposedly paid to watch every episode. In order to cash in I had to reach $500 to be able to withdraw my earnings. As soon as I reach $500 and I tried to cash in I got a message that said I didn’t meet the requirements to be able to withdraw. I got a message saying I needed to watch 60 ads to be able to cash in my earnings. I was short of watching 3 more Ads when BuzzReels somehow changed and the series that I had watched and unlocked suddenly disappeared along with my earnings. It seemed like it was a totally different App and now every series that I try to watch it says it’s not available in my Region. Total Scam!

Total Scam

They give you $200 as soon as you download BuzzReels . As you were watching and your money is going up, the amount of money they give is reduced so it takes forever to reach the first threshold of $500. Then when you do reach the first threshold of $500 they tell you have to watch 50 ads. Then when you watch 50 eyes, they tell you have to login seven days which I had already done, but apparently you have to push a button saying that you’re logging in. Then there are daily tasks you have to do on top of it to watch even more ads. So in order for you to even get Close to withdraw $500, you’re already up to $1100 and you still can’t withdraw the money. Then when you contact them, they never answer you back even though they said they answer you back within 48 hours. Don’t waste your time on BuzzReels unless you have nothing better to do.

Fake

They start out with $200 and make you go to 500 before you can cash out. Then you reach 500 they want you to login for seven days. Then you complete that and now all of a sudden you have to get to level 29 when I looked and found the level, I was on level 25 and it doesn’t say how you Level up. I thought it was each real you watched but that’s not it. I’m at level 26. The only reason why I’m still watching this cause I do like my shirt reels but don’t believe the hype. They don’t wanna pay then when you try to contact them for help it’s all in a different language.

Scam to make money from ads

The scheme that the creator of BuzzReels has done is that he or she has you watch the ads and videos so they can get paid each time you watch it, they promise to give you $500 which is either the amount they make or less from you watching the ads. They tell you to have BuzzReels installed for a week after watching all the ads to so called qualify for receiving the $500 but by than they have already made their money from you, there for using you and by then that you have realized you have been scammed its already too late and they got what they wanted. Each person that downloads and watched the videos and ads the loop continues and the creator of BuzzReels gets rich.

Disappointment

This feels really unfair! It's disappointing because the stories were actually pretty good. They say that after you watch a certain number of ads and earn $500, you can withdraw. They start you off with a $200 bonus, and at first, you receive payouts of seven dollars. Then it drops to five dollars and continues to decrease until you reach about $480, where the payouts fall to just three cents. Once you finally reach your $500, it then tells you that you need to watch another 60 commercials. After I finish that, I find out I have to wait another seven days and check in daily. It's really frustrating! I would recommend walking away from this.

FAKE APP - NO CASH

As usual, I got suckered into downloading BuzzReels. To make a long story short, you will not be getting any cash from BuzzReels. First they tell you to earn $500 and you spend a ton of time doing that. Once that is complete, then they tell you to watch a bunch more ads before you can cash out $500. I did that. After that was complete then they told me I had to login for seven days straight. This is when I deleted BuzzReels . The sad part is they have already made a ton of money by me watching all of those ads but hopefully enough people read these reviews. It’s not even fun watching the ads they’re repetitive and stupid. Most of them are for other false money making games. Save yourself the time in the aggravation and don’t download BuzzReels and for the love of God don’t watch the hundreds of videos they want you to watch only to never get paid. Apple needs to start cracking down on these.

What a scam

And it’s a shame because the stories were actually decent. So they tell you that once you watch X amount of ads and you accumulate $500 you can withdraw. They give you a $200 bonus to start with, and at first you are getting seven dollar payouts then the next would be five dollar payouts and it goes further down until you get to about $480 and then the payouts go down to three cents and around there. You finally get your $500 and then it tells you oh no… You have to watch another 60 commercials… I get that done… And then it tells me I have to wait seven more days and check in every day. A complete an utter rip off. Walk away.

Don’t believe the lies

I’ve watched 6 movies & adds,logged in for 5-8 days then it tells you watch more adds, then after reaching that , now it’s saying reach level 29 to withdraw $500 and reach level 30 to withdrawal $800. So I’m guessing once I reach them levels it’ll have another excuse not to pay. If you’re not going to pay up then don’t make it out to be a way people can earn money. Stories are great , but your scheme is wrong because that’s time I can’t get back. Be careful people if you’re in it for the money because they don’t pay. Don’t believe those banners saying so & so just made a withdrawal lies. I give it a 2 because of the movies

Predatory and Fake

The short dramas are good stories, the problem is you end up watching more forced ads than the stories themselves. When you near closer to the withdrawal limit you will only make 1 to 3 cents per milestone. The daily rewards and milestone take that reward dollars will instead reward you cents. When you reach your withdrawal goal, it will tell you, you have to watch ads, then log in for 7 days and then who knows what else. Don’t expect to get any money of BuzzReels

Scam but worth it

They say they pay you and the first payout is $500. I have watched all the shows that met the requirement that I went to watching ads I’ve watched all the ads and now it’s login for seven days. I had a little faith that I was gonna get anything out of it, but I still am watching because even though they’re likely never going to pay out, the shows are actually really not that bad and by watching it, I am paying c level actors to get their start.

TOTALLY FAKE! CLAIMS TO PAY OUT

saw BuzzReels n thought it would be good to make money. nope! they lie and told me in order to get the $500 i have to watch ads. so i watched the ads. then it said i had to log in for seven days and watch. like a dummy i did. my advice to you is DO NOT DOWNLOAD BuzzReels if you’re interested in making money. they don’t even deliver on whatever they promise. worst money making app ever

Fake game

I made it to the $500 cash out then it asked me to watch like 60 ads then after I did that it said I have to login for seven days then it said I have to get to level 29. Don’t waste your time this game is fake and not worth your time. They’re just gonna keep adding more to what you need to do to cash out well never letting you cash out.

Wasted time

Five stars just so it will be red don’t waste your time. They will not pay out several hours and several days going through all the hoops every time I got to where I there was always something else I had to get to to qualify the longer you watch the heart rate is to get to your qualifying stage it’s just a lie to get you to watch their commercials

KEEPS USERS TRAPPED IN ENDLESS CYCLE OF AD WATCHING

BuzzReels markets itself like users can realistically earn and withdraw money for watching episodes, but the closer you get to the payout threshold, the requirements constantly change. First it’s “reach $500.” Then suddenly it’s “watch dozens of ads.” Then “log in for 7 days.” Then “reach another level.” It never ends.

BuzzReels appears intentionally designed to keep users trapped in an endless cycle of ad watching while moving the goalposts so payouts never actually happen. Based on the massive number of reviews saying the exact same thing, this is not a misunderstanding. This is a pattern.

The worst part is the stories themselves are actually decent, which makes the manipulation even more deceptive. Users are investing real time under the impression there is a legitimate reward system attached.

Apple seriously needs to investigate why an app with overwhelmingly similar fraud complaints is still being promoted in BuzzReels Store. This feels less like entertainment and more like an ad-revenue farm disguised as a rewards platform.

Avoid BuzzReels unless your hobby is watching commercials for imaginary money.

Time scammers

They take all your time and no return it’s true once you get to $500 then you have to watch 60 ads after login in for 7 days i guarantee it’s another task after. All the while they keep posting across the screen as if people actually cashed out that’s how they get you to keep going don’t do it you’ll have your hopes up forever one task might say you’ll have to wait till 2028 to cash out 🤣🤣

FAKE APP!!!

Made five stars so this would be seen. You don’t get any of this so called money you win. Don’t waste your time. Made it to the $500 cash out. Then it says I need to watch 60 adds or so to cash out. Watched all the dumb adds now I need to log in for seven days. Like no!!! If you’re going to claim you’re a legit money making app then actually pay up. If not don’t claim you are.
Do NOT download BuzzReels to “make money” while the stories are great, the money making part is completely FALSE!!!

SCAM SUPREME

Honestly, some of the videos and reels they’re cool to watch. They’re C list celebrities some of the videos are OK but the Minnie of them are completed so they won’t let you watch all of them. You won’t make any money off of BuzzReels. Don’t believe anything. They say there are so many loopholes once you get past one part it’s something else that they won’t allow you to sit there and withdraw it. It’s all fake. It’s just to keep you hung on long enough, waving the carrot in front of your face to keep you going honestly just go watch the video reels on TikTok. It’s better.

Definitely FAKE

I also made this five stars so it will be seen. This game is false advertisement and we all need to sue because why are you claiming that we will get $500 after watching all this BS and then we do then you hit us with oh you have to watch 57 ads and then you have to wait six or seven days you have to login every single time. You still can’t get your money you put in your information so you can get the money and you never receive it. I’m about to sue! If I could really rate this, it would be -5,000,000 stars a complete waste of your time!

WASTE OF TIME

You won’t get any of the money you win. Do not waste your time. I made it to the $500 cash out, and then it said I had to watch 60 ads to cash out. I’ve watched all ads and I got a message saying the requirements hadn’t been met. If you're going to claim you're a legit money making app then actually pay up.
Do NOT download BuzzReels to "make money" while the stories are great, the money making part is completely FALSE!!!
