Review summary

The app is praised for paying users to walk and for its motivating, simple design, with some users enjoying quick payouts. However, repeated issues include delayed or throttled cashouts, lowered earning rates, and unreliable coin/step registration. Validation can be tedious, and updates often degrade the experience by disrupting coin collection and accuracy. Overall, it’s appealing but hampered by payout reliability and data-tracking problems.

Pros

Earn money by walking and earning coins/rewards
Strong motivational factor encouraging more daily steps
Simple, easy-to-use interface
Payouts can be quick when available
Long-standing app with many users using it for years

Cons

Payouts are frequently delayed, throttled, or restricted by high withdrawal thresholds
Earning rate and coin collection have degraded; coins/steps sometimes don’t register or values drop
Validation requirements can be tedious and days may be marked non-compliant
Updates have worsened the user experience by breaking coin collection or accuracy
Reliability issues with tracking (steps/distances not registering or miscounted)

2026-07-22	τ *****	Great app. There was an issue with some of the interactive ads forcing you into a loop, but that seems to have been addressed in the update I downloaded yesterday, as I saw the same ad today but it did not force me to interact with it. Glad that the devs are actively working on making the experience better. Definitely the best walking app out there.

2026-07-22	Fr*****	Full of ads, mostly for Shein, that you cant get out of without fully closing the app. You cant hit the x button because it doesnt work - every single bit of the ad goes to Shein site inc the x, you can't even move around the app navigation or go back. Waste of time trying to collect the coins. Awfully slow to build up coins and rewards worth mostly not worth having - been at it ages and not managed to get any cash as threshold set so high. Save your time.

2026-07-21	Ni*****	Cant cash out! I've been using this app for a while now and have built up coins but every time I go to cash out all the slots are gone and I've to wait another week to try again. Every time I try to redeem (even at the exact time the new slots are open) I can't so it pretty much makes the app pointless!
