This app is truly inspiring! I am excited to share add-ons with you.
Hello Sweatcoin team!
I hope this message finds you well! I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for your app and the incredible impact it has had on my fitness journey. It’s truly inspiring how it motivates users to stay active and focused.
I have an idea that could further elevate the user experience: a specialized section for races within the app’s social features. Imagine a vibrant platform where users can compete and connect over shared challenges.
A visible leaderboard could serve as the centerpiece, showcasing the top three competitors in each race. Highlighting the first, second, and third places would ignite motivation among participants to push themselves further. As an added incentive, I suggest awarding five Sweatcoins to those who place on the leaderboard. This recognition could significantly enhance engagement and inspire users to achieve their personal bests.
I believe this addition would not only enrich the app’s functionality but also foster a strong sense of community as users cheer each other on and celebrate achievements together.
Thank you for considering this idea! I truly believe it could elevate the Sweatcoin experience to new heights. 🙏

DONT TRUST THIS APP
i know you probably always see those ads on tiktok and insta reels about it paying with all the comments being like “omg. i just got $1500 just for walking” but these are all lies. they’re either lies or people confusing the app’s cryptocurrency for a real currency thinking 1k sweatcoin is 1k in real life.
i’ll explain why you don’t want to use it now:
1. their currency isn’t the equivalent to your currency. you need 25 sweatcoin (25 MILES) just to join a raffle that’s obvious never going to let you win. i tried countless of these and never got anything once.
2. they promote companies that scam you. i tried to get some underwear once from there once. applied to the free trial of the company they promoted. searched up the company and it turned out they don’t deliver until a month after your subscription. if you try to cancel on them. they don’t deliver your free parcel and make u wait till next month when they charge a ridiculous amount a month for just some underwear. i think it was like £59 a month or something.
3. it’s just a huge waste of time. u can walk millions of miles and never get anywhere. you don’t get money for walking. you just get small vouchers at places that are probably going to scam you anyway. don’t get this app.

Things don’t work!
I have had this app for several years and it certainly has encouraged me to be more active and aware of my steps. Not finding however anything of use to me for my sweat-coins, I used to regularly transfer them to my son. This transfer procedure seems to have been hidden/removed from my app and I have made sure that I have kept it updated. Reaching out to support, they just give me the steps I have tried over and over to do without success. I have even sent screenshots of the screen where they suggest I will find the ‘send’ button. It just isn’t there! Not much point in me keeping this app really.
Even some ads regularly hang up and the advice from support is to delete and add the app again. ( and lose all my sweatcoins?) or turn phone on/off. This gets irritating when needed to do more than once a day to remedy.
I have lost the love for this app.

Could be better..
Unfortunately, it takes a long time to fill up your steps, even if you are very active. You used to be able to bid on exclusive deals as a non-premium user. Unfortunately, this is no longer possible and the "competitions" are not really promising either.
Honest Thoughts
I downloaded skeptical about the money I highly doubted someone would be open to actually paying people to walk and even have the funds to do that most people act in their own gain only.. however I thought just seeing the number go up would encourage me to walk more and more weather it was real money or not (of course preferably real) however ever since I started this app all it’s brought is annoyance for one it’s got the wrong days and it’s not correctly writing down the steps I’ve done it deletes itself when I go on the app after I’ve already checked once, also my Sweatcoin also isn’t going up at all even though I’ve walked way more then enough for it to have gone up by many more also how the hell do I connect my sweat coin to my sweat balance actually I don’t care until my above issues are fixed I don’t think I’ll be using this app further as it isn’t correctly encouraging me but instead wanting me to give up instead !!

Cans for coins
This app is really cool. Cashing in on your sweatcoins is the biggest downside of this app. If you’re looking to get paid for walking, you’re better off getting some garbage bags and collecting empty cans off the street to sell for scrap metal. I’ve had this app for a over a year so let me tell you about my experience. I’m sitting at 1,000 sweatcoins with nothing of value to use them on. When I initially downloaded the app, I was disappointed with the rewards being offered and the rewards have never gotten better. You may find a promo coupon to spend your sweats on but you still have to pay high shipping. It would be nice if sweatcoin could cover the high cost of shipping associated with some of their physical promos, but that can’t happen because sweatcoins have no value. The 4-5 physical product promo deals are usually all cheap looking products you wouldn’t buy if you saw them at a store. Overall I would say this app sells you a dream in exchange for collecting your data. Apparently I’m their target audience though because I keep the app around hoping one day my sweatcoins will do something more than make me upset

Good concept, some problems
The concept of this app is good, encouraging people to move more and offering an incentive to do so. Unfortunately the offers you receive to spend your coins are nothing but a waste of time, either a small discount on sites that already have discounts or new start ups that you’ve never heard of and offering nothing of interest. Moving to the monthly challenges rewarding you for walking 250,000 steps to earn a guaranteed 25 coins and entry into a prize draw. The step tracking is all but broken for this almost because they want to ensure you can’t earn the 25 coins or entry to the (probably non existent) prize draw. For example so far this month the app has tracked 70,000 steps in 8 days but the challenge is only showing 53,000, each month you’d need to walk at least an extra 40,000 or more steps to be close to completing the challenge. Some positives like the encouragement to get out and move more but also many issues that of fixed could make this a really good app
Edit - the 2x daily boost no longer works, start it up and walk for 20 mins then watch the boost analyse for the rest of the day until you run out of time and it resets for the next day!!

Response from developer
Thank you for your review and feedback! We will certainly keep this in mind and pass this along to the wider team for future improvements!
Cans for coins
If you’re looking to get rewards just for walking, you’re better off collecting a bunch of soda cans or aluminum and selling it for scrap metal. Sweatcoin is the equivalent of you collecting 40 bags of empty soda cans and only being able to cash in as many cans as you can carry in your hands to the scrap yard. I’ve had this app for a over a year and I’ve cashed in one 1 promo offer. When you first log into the sweatcoin app and look at the rewards, keep in mind the rewards won’t ever get better. You won’t win any of the auctions. You may find a promo offer you like but you still have to pay shipping. Would be nice if sweatcoin could cover the high costs of shipping on these promos but sweatcoins can’t do that because they are borderline worthless. If you have any issues cashing in on a promo offer, good luck figuring out that mess. The one offer I bought I had to buy twice because something weird happened the first time. I contacted sweatcoin but received a response. I don’t really care. You get what you pay for and the only thing I’ve paid for has been shipping on the marketplace offer I had to buy twice.
