Adme

Now those of you that know me would know I hardly have a bad thing to say about anyone or anything. I always try to find the good in things unless they’re very, very bad.

 

This is an instance where I was in love with an app because of what it allowed me, and how our lovestory came to a crash and burn October 26th 2018.

 

Adme was a lockscreen ad service- it would put an ad on your phones lock screen, and eveyr day you’d earn some money. It was paltry sums of cents here and cents there. but over a year you could get upward of $30 just for casual usage of your phone.

I take care of my 92 year old grandmother for a living. she makes too much for me to get paid taking care of her. It’s hard work and it’s thankless work, but for my mother and brother and friends I turned to survey sites and phone apps for some money for christmas and birthdays and other random holidays.

 

Adme was one of my first, and I loved it very much.

 

I had over $30 saved up and was so excited to cash out. it was going to be an amazing christmas this year.

 

Except on the 26th of October I checked my email.

 

I had one from Adme saying they were going in a different direction.

 

I don’t check my email often, and gmail puts your mail in to separate folders, so I certainly don’t check every folder often.

 

The email stated alongside their different direction, that the last day to cash out was the 25th.

 

It was the 26th almost 27th for me. So I did what anyone in that situation would do- I emailed them.

 

I was very kind, curteous and told them the situation.

 

They ignored me.

 

I tried once more.

 

They ignored me again.

 

Now i’ve given up. I try to not morn the things I could have gotten for the people I love with that $30. and I know how silly it is to be sad over such a measly sum. but it’s all i had.

 

I’m trying new apps out now, but i’ll always feel the sting of what Adme’s done to me.
