Right after registering, we were immediately asked to complete a short survey and were instantly paid IDR 6,527 by CoolSurveys—not bad, right? But will this app become one of the next high-paying survey apps? This is precisely what the SurveyNation team will discuss today.
Incidentally, we only discovered this app yesterday, but we’ve made sure to download, install, register, and try the app directly before writing this review.

What Is CoolSurveys?
CoolSurveys is a paid online survey application platform that will compensate its users for participating in the survey programs they host.
This platform, only available as an app for Android phones, is managed by a U.S.-based company called Grif & Mif LLC, which has a company website located at https://www.grifmif.com.
Based on our checks, this app is not an independent paid survey panel; rather, it merely operates as an intermediary for other global or international paid survey panels or networks, such as CPX Research.
How CoolSurveys Works
Its working mechanism is very easy to understand, even for beginners. Here are the steps:
- Account Registration: The first step is to download and install this app directly from the Google Play Store, then register using an email address or a Google account.
- Email Verification: Based on our experience, after registering, we were not asked to perform email verification, and our account became active immediately.
- Completing Survey Tasks and Playing Games: After registration is complete, users are immediately presented with an easy profile survey that pays around IDR 6,000. In addition to survey tasks, there are also game-playing tasks.
- Collecting Rewards: Rewards are given using the Indonesian Rupiah currency for users from Indonesia, not points.
- Withdrawing Rewards: Once the earnings reach the minimum withdrawal threshold, users can withdraw them to several chosen payment methods.
Example CoolSurveys Tasks
Initially, it was quite enjoyable because we successfully completed three consecutive short surveys, each paying IDR 6,527, accumulating a total of IDR 19,580. However, after that, the survey tasks became difficult, with a strict screening system and small rewards.
See the image below:
We later realized that the three easy surveys we completed were just a “bait” or entertainment to please new users and serve as a powerful attraction to create the impression that this survey app genuinely pays.
Because after completing those three surveys, the surveys provided became difficult to complete. And although it’s not explicitly stated from which panel or network they originate, based on the design and structure of the surveys, they seem to be from CPX Research.
Payments of CoolSurveys
There are several reward withdrawal options, including PayPal, Alfamart vouchers, and Grab vouchers. These options are for users from Indonesia and will certainly differ from the withdrawal options for users outside of Indonesia.
However, what is very unfortunate is that the minimum withdrawal amount is too high, requiring IDR 100,000, which will take a considerable amount of time to reach.
Is CoolSurveys a Scam?
CoolSurveys cannot be classified as a scam yet because there isn’t sufficient evidence to prove it. In fact, if you look at the reviews on the Google Play Store, it has a fairly good rating.
However, as we have frequently stated, user reviews or testimonials from Indonesia on the Google Play Store are often strange. Please see the image below:
The screenshot above proves that even if users are unsure whether the app will truly pay or not, they still give a 5-star rating, which can misleadingly make the app appear good and worth trying.
Is the CoolSurveys App Safe?
The answer is yes, it’s safe, provided you download and install it directly from the Google Play Store and not from an CoolSurveys Mod APK application obtained from unclear third-party APK download sites.
Modified applications like these are highly dangerous and unsafe and can even lead to your smartphone being hacked.

Pros of CoolSurveys
This app has several advantages that make it quite appealing to prospective new users, some of which are:
- Free and Easy Registration: Anyone with an Android phone can register for free using email or a Google account.
- Very Lightweight App: The CoolSurveys app is quite lightweight and doesn’t burden the functionality of an Android phone.
- Large Registration Bonus: While not explicitly stating a bonus, new users are indeed presented with super easy survey tasks that pay up to IDR 19,580 (the amount may change over time).
- Supports PayPal and Alfamart Vouchers: The availability of these reward redemption options certainly makes it seem easy for users from Indonesia to redeem their earnings.
Cons of CoolSurveys
However, before registering, you should also consider some of its disadvantages:
- Small Survey Rewards: This platform runs survey programs from other networks that can set their desired reward amounts, and apparently, this platform sets them quite low.
- High Minimum Withdrawal: The minimum withdrawal policy is IDR 100,000, which is very burdensome and makes the time to accumulate survey earnings quite long. This greatly increases the potential for users to give up and not continue, even if they have already collected tens of thousands of Rupiah.
- Potential for Scam: This app is not managed by a trustworthy survey company, so there is still a high potential for it to become a scam or fraud that ultimately doesn’t pay.
Conclusion
CoolSurveys cannot be fully classified as a scam, and its app is safe to use. However, it has significant drawbacks, as we explained above, making it not worth trying as it will likely only be a waste of time.
