Love free stuff? Try winning some at myRobinHood

myRobinHood - Win the things you love.
Love free stuff? Of course you do. It’s basic human nature.

Now, you can get free stuff from myRobinHood, a brand new lifestyle giveaways platform that claims to be doing the impossible — giving away free stuff that you actually want, like deals from Netflix, Kylie Cosmetics, Birchbox, Nasty Gal, Revolve, Boohoo, and more.

How does it work? Apparently, all you need for eligibility is to sign up for the platform via Facebook, Twitter, or email. From there, users are able to sign up for  daily, monthly, and yearly giveaways, simply by clicking “join.” Promising a user-friendly design, myRobinHood claims that its “clear and simple layout” helps users “browse quickly through the latest giveaways, ensuring that they will never miss out on an incredible opportunity.”

So what do brands get out of the deal? According to the company’s latest press release, “myRobinHood provides brands with the opportunity to increase exposure and convert users into loyal brand followers.” Because every giveaway contains a promo video, social media link, and a shop now button, each entry serves as something of a marketing campaign, encouraging users to explore other product offerings.

Our company’s goal is to give everyone an opportunity to win the latest and hottest products,” said Oren Salmon, CEO of myRobinHood. “With our newest lineup of giveaways, we aim to become the go-to app in the rewards market for millennials.”

Right now, the exclusive August giveaway features two tickets to the otherwise sold out iHeart Radio Music Festival in September, which features the likes of Britney Spears, Drake, Sam Hunt, Florida Georgia Line, One Republic, SIA, Cage the Elephant, Zedd, Tears for Fears, Pitbull, Usher, Sting, and more.

Be warned, of course, that if you do win one of these prizes, you’ll be solely responsible for reporting and paying any and all applicable taxes related to the prize. Because as ever, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Before you head to the app store on your phone to buy a voice-recording app, take a moment to consider the apps that may already be installed on your phone. Why? In my experience, they're likely all you really need. I’ve recorded interviews and voice-overs for work for years, and I’ve found the two best examples come preinstalled on your phone already, so they’re entirely free to use.

The best Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 cases: 10 best ones so far
Two Galaxy Z Fold 5 phones next to each other -- one is open and one is closed.

Samsung’s next-generation foldable is here with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5. This iteration has some notable improvements, including a new hinge design that eliminates the gap from previous generations when the device was folded. You also get a 6.2-inch HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the outside while having a 6.7-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display on the inside, with both screens having a 120Hz refresh rate. In other words, they're about as nice as you could ask for.

The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is made with premium materials, and the triple-lens camera system packs in a 50MP main shooter, 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens. There’s a 10MP selfie camera on the front cover, and a 4MP camera on the inner display. You also get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chip inside for the best performance and power efficiency.

Google Pixel Tablet just got its first big discount and it’s worth a look
Google Pixel Tablet on its charging dock.

Tablets are a dime-a-dozen these days, with offerings from all the great brands including Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, and more. So, if you really want to stand out in a sea of similar tech, you need to do things a little differently. That's what Google's Pixel Tablet offers. How? It comes with a unique speaker dock that can be used to both charge the device and offer room-filling sound -- almost like a smart speaker add-on. Better yet, when your Pixel Tablet is docked it benefits from the Hub Mode, turning the device into a smart display, with digital photo frame support, smart home controls, and hands-free Google functionality. Of course, it could set you back at full price, normally $499 unless you find it included in a roundup of the best Google Pixel deals. Well, guess what? Thanks to a Best Buy Google Pixel Tablet deal, you can get it today for $439 and save $60. Hurry, though, it's part of Best Buy's recent 48-hour sale so it won't stick around for long.

Why you should buy the Google Pixel Tablet
Okay, okay, so in our Google Pixel Tablet review, Joe Maring did give it less than stellar remarks, but he called out its reliable fingerprint sensor, comfortability during use and excellent speaker dock. Honestly, how many tablets come with a matching speaker dock that transforms the entire experience? This tablet also marks a "lot of firsts" for Google, as it's the first tablet from the company in nearly five years, the first Android tablet in eight years, and can be converted into a smart home display with the speaker dock. All of which are notable milestones.
