Streetspotr app

Billed as a ‘grown-up treasure hunt’, Streetspotr is another app that connects market research clients with users who carry out small tasks. Some MoneySavers have pocketed £15 for buying a hot drink at a muffin shop, though most tasks pay about a fiver.

Other jobs could include photographing supermarket product displays or checking restaurant menus.

Streetspotr is a German company that pays UK users in GBP. As with other location based apps, the closer you are to a high street, the more jobs are up for grabs.
