I received the following email from Apparang the other day. For those of you that aren’t familiar with Apparang, it’s a site that paid you to download apps to your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
Greetings:
As of June 30th, 2011 the Apperang service has been discontinued. The service closes one year after making its initial debut. We are thankful to our tens of thousands of members that have showed their support throughout the past year. The company operating Apperang, W3i Mobile Solutions, is alive and well but the service is being discontinued due to unforeseen market challenges.
A final payment has been issued to all active members that had a current balance of at least $0.01. Payments have been issued to the PayPal address associated with the member’s Apperang account or to the email address associated with the member’s account when a PayPal address did not exist (see *Note for details).
*Note: If no PayPal address has been linked to a member’s Apperang account, then the payment will be sent to the email address associated with the member’s Apperang account. A member can then claim their payment by adding this email address to an existing PayPal account or by creating a new PayPal account and linking it to this email address. Members will have 30 days to claim their payment before it is canceled automatically by PayPal.
Looking for another way to get great apps for free? Check-out our AppAllStar service that features a new FREE app every day!
Sincerely,
Team Apperang

After this email was sent, I did receive my final payment from Apparang which you can see in the screenshot below.
For whatever reason, I’m guessing they weren’t as profitable as they thought they would be, Apparang decided to shut down. This kind of thing happens all the time with new sites so it’s no shock to me.
For those of you still interested in getting paid to download apps to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, you can join AppRedeem.com which is another free site that will pay you to download apps.
Apparang will now be removed from my list of ways to make money online.
