PlayMoment is a free gaming utility from holightgame. This combines the functionalities of a rewards app with the content from video streaming services, but all designed exclusively for gamers. However, it is slowly phasing out the rewards programs in favor of a streaming platform for gamers.

In terms of app layout, PlayMoment has become a lot like YouTube but with a different color scheme. If you’re looking for the latest games or updates about different gaming communities, this is a good app to check out. Also, like most free apps, it suffers from having a lot of ads.

Watch and get rewarded

PlayMoment works by having you watch different gaming videos with the intent of rewarding you. In its early stages, it offers various in-game currencies as a form of reward. The most popular among them is the Robux, which is used as an in-game currency for the massive online gaming platform, Roblox. As mentioned, it mostly offers gaming content and it’s quite rare to find other types of content.

For the app layout, it’s intuitive to use, especially if you’ve tried using YouTube on mobile, but with Twitch colors. At the very least, you’re free to choose what videos to watch. Once you’ve chosen what to watch, you mostly have the option to adjust the volume or move to your preferred timestamps. However, to be eligible for the rewards, there’s a required number of seconds.

As mentioned, the app is filled with ads. Before and after most videos, you can expect full screen ads that are unskippable for a number of seconds. Even if you’re just using the app casually, you’re not safe from these ads, making the experience tiring. Also, other users have reported issues with the app. Sometimes, in-app promos do not reflect their rewards accurately, or in some cases, not at all.

A helpful app for gamers

If you’re a gamer, then PlayMoment is a potentially helpful app. By watching videos you like, you can earn its in-game currency used to purchase rewards and other game currencies. Since it offers a wide range of videos, there’s definitely something to see for every kind of gamer. Unfortunately, the ads make the app difficult to appreciate whether you’re looking for rewards or just in it to watch gaming videos.
