Is this a legit way to make PayPal money?

Yes! Observa has been in business since 2016. Today, we work with leading brands like KIND and Beyond Meat. Observers complete opportunities at well-known retailers like Safeway, 7-Eleven, and Walmart.

Do you have opportunities outside of the United States?

If you turn your notifications on, you'll be notified when there are new opportunities to make PayPal money near you.

If Observa rejects an observation, is the data still sent to the customer?

Never. At Observa, we only want to pass along high-quality data to our customers, so we discard data from rejected observations. We only reject an observation if the secret shopper didn’t follow the instructions correctly. Right now, more than 90% of observations are accepted.

So far, So Good. I will submit a different review after I test the legitimacy of the app and received my first pay out. Rated in Aug. 2023. Update on previous rating in Aug. 2023. The Observe app is legitimate, it does pay out, and they're pretty quick on payments too (using from 1-3 Business days). The Earnings Vary by Location, Task(s) involved, Time to complete, Etc. I Really like The Observe App, because they have different task(s) you can choose from, Decent and quick Pay-outs. Recommend 100%
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… Emily Gowans ยท Nov 25, 2025
Using the app is really easy and takes you through the entire assignments requirements step by step. The pay is fair based on the assignment, and you never have to accept a gig you don't want to do. The best part is this is a 100% Legit side hustle. Best one I've found so far!
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜† Sara Sisson ยท Jun 16, 2026
I really like this app I would give it five stars, but they don't have enough observation challenges in the area where I live
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜† Michele Manuel ยท Dec 4, 2025
Observe has many different types of "mystery" shops. Some are photo audits, easy enough, also other types of shops require interactions & conversation with store managers, etc. There are shops for everyone, beginners, intermediate, and skilled.

This is the worst app ever! So many rejected jobs it's even real... I work for several other apps doing the same types of assignments, and I have no problems with these at all, my rating is 95%....with this one however every other task was an issue ridiculous, it almost makes me think they are using you to just collect data and not pay for it... I deleted this app over 6 months ago, I no longer use I am just giving my opinion on my own experience with this app ....
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜† Samantha Hopkins ยท Jun 19, 2026
The amount of time, the very difficult perfectionism they want isn't at all worth the amount they want to give when it honestly sounds like they will reject pretty much any entry for the tiniest negative. If you want the effort from these people then you should pay more. I couldn't tell if I was taking the picture right or not. I've spent 56 mins and haven't even done half of the observe $12 isn't enough! l. I used to use this app alot but its gotten kinda annoying.
