This system is certainly the simplest and safest, even if it requires a little patience and time to accumulate the necessary money (I have had it for about a year and I have earned around 15 Euros)

The Amazon store has many of the Google Play applications and offers free offers of new paid apps every day. You can also buy applications using Amazon store gift vouchers (see the tricks to save on Amazon) or using Coins, virtual money packages that can be purchased with a little discount.

To use the Amazon app store you need to download the application for Android.
