iOS App of the Day: Wikets
Finding an app that rewards you in Amazon gift cards simply for using it sounds awesome right? It almost sounds too good to be true. At least that’s what I said when I heard about the Wikets app, but I quickly found out that this app does exactly what it claims to do. Wikets is built around connecting with your friends and family, making recommendations, and raking in the rewards at the end of the month. Essentially, you get points for every product and place you recommend and earn even more points when your friends re-recommend your items. Continue reading to take a closer look.

Conclusion:
Wikets offers a unique way to share your personal recommendations with friends and family for rewards. I started using the app on month ago and have already earned my first $15 Amazon gift card. By pulling the app up after every new place I try or product I purchase, I can quickly recommend my favorites and right away my friends are able to earn points with me. I will never say no to free rewards and with this app you can’t go wrong. Go on and give Wikets a try, you won’t be disappointed.
