Verdict up front: Trading with Zero Balance holds a 4.7 rating from 10,100 reviews — higher than most banking apps on Google Play. A verified user explains why: the app asks you for the five stars. The same user says that reaching the payout threshold triggers a 7-to-31 business day wait, and then nothing.

A rating that was requested, not earned
A 4.7 average is a remarkable score. It is also the single most persuasive thing on the listing — the number most people glance at before installing. One verified reviewer sets out, in order, what they found.
“The fact they ask for a 5 star review was the first red flag. Second red flag is that they emphasize ‘practice account’. The 3rd red flag would be no response from them. 4th red flag is the fact that if you reach your withdrawal limit of $50 in three days they send you an extended message saying it’ll take 7–31 business days — and then last but not least, waiting 31 days and not receiving payment even though all details are 100% correct.”
A verified reviewer, 2026 — 17 readers marked this helpful
Read that as a sequence and it describes a complete system. The app prompts for five stars, which lifts the rating that brings in the next user. It calls itself a practice account, which is the defence if anyone complains. It answers no messages. And it sets the payout bar low enough — $50, reachable in three days — that people keep going, then replaces payment with a delay long enough that most give up before it expires.
What the developer publishes about itself
Every Play listing carries an App Support panel holding the developer’s own website, email and privacy policy. This one gives a free web.app subdomain, the Gmail address skyapper.dev@gmail.com, and a Blogspot page. No company name. No registered address. No regulator, anywhere on the listing.
The privacy policy is dated December 2021 — nearly four years before the version of the app now on the store.

How to read a star rating properly
An in-app prompt asking for five stars is not against Google’s rules by itself. What matters is when it appears. A prompt fired at the moment the app shows you a rising balance is measuring your hope, not your experience — and the people who later discover they cannot withdraw have usually already left the rating.
So read the one- and two-star reviews first, and search them for a single person confirming they were paid. Ratings are easy to accumulate. A completed withdrawal is not.
The verdict: we are not calling this developer a criminal enterprise, and no regulator we checked has issued a warning about it. What the public record shows is an app with six figures of installs whose headline rating is solicited from users, whose payout threshold is low enough to keep people playing, and whose answer at the threshold is a month-long delay. Behind it: a Gmail address, a free subdomain, and a privacy policy older than the app.
