Leave a Review Sweatcoin Walking Step Counter
New update doesn’t still doesn’t credit all steps
Ever since the new update that ‘doesn’t need gps’ the app counts steps but still only gives you sweat coins for your outdoor steps. But since it doesn’t rely on gps it doesn’t know how many were actually outdoor steps so you’re only getting a fraction of what you walked.
Case in point- while at a theme park one evening I walked over 8,000 steps, ALL outdoor, but instead of crediting all my steps (as it should since it’s not supposed to matter anymore if they are outdoor or in doors) it only credited 253 steps which it said were outdoor steps. Wha?? Why is it still trying to determine which steps were outdoor and only credit those if it doesn’t matter anymore if you walk inside or outside??
I wish I could go back to the previous version off the app. Or at least give me the option of relying on gps or not.
Another small grievance I have, this is not limited to sweat coin but is the case with a lot of point gathering apps, that the options for spending them are limited to mostly coupons for subscription services. In other words, an invitation to spend actual money on a regular basis, instead of a way to save you money. It will never be an actual crypto-currency until it spends like currency.Show lessMelinadlr
Wonderful app
I went through the reviews after I got the app and I noticed some people that the rewards where fake but really should it matter if the rewards are good or not the app encourages you to walk more by getting rewards to do it like I was at a friends house and she lives on top of a hill it’s a half mile down and up to get to the mailbox and decided to walk down instead of using the car and I brought my phone with me to count my steps usually I would NEVER do this but the app encourages me to do so. I have asthma so with the air thinning out the higher I got on the hill and the exhaust of already walking down the hill was hard for me to do but I did it and it may have only gotten me $2 for it but it’s more about how you feel after you’ve done it. Also I like the fact you can donate to things like planting trees and prevented child marriages. I enjoy this app very much and it has helped me be more active I would recommend to all my friends!!!! Thank you sweatcoin for encouraging me to be more active 🤗.Show lessjoeiselle
Seems like a scam to get users
First off. You get paid to walk in credits that you can use on the app to get discounts or free shipping or donating money to causes. You never get real money.
I downloaded the app for a bit of extra coin and the chance to donate to causes that deeply need the attention. So far I’ve had this app for almost a year, I walk every day and I’ve only made 300 credits, have the app open almost every day and haven’t spent any until today. Some of the offers to get “50% off at **insert random store name**” require 14,000 credits. A lot of these offers expire so the only way to be eligible for the things they advertise outside of the app is to pay real money to boost the amount of credits you can get walking... the only GOOD thing I will say is that I think that donating for causes is amazing but I wish they would have that more causes available than some dumb shopping discount.
They rarely have time for these causes it seems because I noticed causes are only on there for a day or 2 before “expiring” but they will keep a discount for a pair of headphones for weeks? It just completely defeats the purpose of advertising “Getting paid to walk”. Save the space on your phone and don’t get this app. I’m throwing all my money into the recent causes and never thinking about this app again.Show lessWow so cool I love this
Follow your daily routine & get “money”
I’ve had this app since August 10th, and it is now December 2nd. Almost 4 months doing what I normally do, sometimes walking further due to the incentive, and I have almost 900 sweatcoins. Whether this app is accurate or not, it’s influencing me to be more active in order to achieve the end goal. I’m a huge advocate of this app, and the benefits of having multiple options of “free” trials for apps and programs are a nice added bonus. Seems like a nice way for the companies to advertise, and a nice incentive for people to be more active. According to my current goal of obtaining 20,000 sweatcoins in order to achieve the $1,000 or the newer iPhone, I should be able to get it in about 7 years. Seams like a long time from now but money is money and I just have to stay active to get it. Hopefully they update so I can advance to “trouble maker” and get more sweatcoins, or lower the cash value to 250$ for 5,000 sweatcoins so that it’s more obtainable.
All in all, I think this app is a great idea! Thank you sweatcoins team.

Ok so let me start off by saying sweatcoin is a good app BUT there are some issues. 1. Sweatcoin doesn’t really count your step. I have a Fitbit and it says I walk/run about 7-8k steps a day. On sweatcoin it says that I only take about 4K. I would like sweatcoin to improve this issue. Btw YOU CANNOT EXPECT PEOPLE NOT TO SHAKE THEIR PHONE!! 2. Sweatcoin gives offers that are really low sweatcoins, but shipping is super high. Now I understand shipping is going to cost SOME money but not as much as you guys charge. So I would expect shipping for a lot of cheap stuff to be like $4 or $5 but when I try shipping it here it cost like $20 !!!! I would like for this app to improve this to. But what I do like it that you could earn things just for walking!! Thank you to anyone who made this app but just please improve it. C’mon like just improve and FIX your things and maybe I won’t have to think about deleting this app anymore. I want to have this app because you could get stuff for just walking but this is pretty much like a SCAM. So... for all the people that are thinking the same thing just do what you want to do, but in a few days I might delete this app if it doesn’t get improved and I suggest other people do that too. ☺️Show lessI love hedgehogs 🦔
Not the best
This app is great and all , but it cheats you . Like everyday I walk at least 3,000 steps and it gives me like 21 cents when I should be getting 3 dollars/sweatcoins. Also the prizes may be cheap but some items have shipping and that shipping is like 6-20 dollars which is not reasonable , in amazing I pay like 3.00 dollars shipping. I shouldn’t be paying over 4.00 dollars for shipping for something that cost 1 dollar/sweatcoin . If this app does it fix its issues I will delete the app . Also sometimes for the daily reward videos , the videos won’t always come , it will say “there are no more daily reward please come back later and try again” and I will go in the app 5-15 times a day and it’s will still stay the same exact things . So I will have to wait for the next day . 2 more things you have to make your prices for prizes cheaper , I really wanted a iPhone XR and I was walking for 6 months and only make 500 dollars and then the offer goes away , this is honestly a waste of time and storage. Last thing if anyone is cheating on the app it’s you , you guys own me over 50 dollars due to your dumb algorithm and setup to see that all of the steps were made in a fair way. Please fix these issues and I will gladly keep the app and use it and recommend to people , I am currently telling people to get it because of these reasons , if you don’t want to fix these issues , I will also gladly delete the entire app and never get it again😊.Show lessEye of Tiger.

Thanks for your review! Could you please ensure that you have updated to the latest update, where we have a brand new algorithm to fix any step conversion issues and even support indoor steps!HOW DO WE GET REWARDS
I was told about this and you earn money for walking so I downloaded it and the fact it has to access a bunch of crap is completely stupid and better yet they said that we would give you a gift card k cool when? In 5 years? I’ve had it for a week now and almost 10,000 steps a day and no reward. I’m about to delete it because I’m starting to think it’s fake. Excuse me while I go walk around the world and see if I get nothing (Probably won’t). I just checked my phone and sweat coin and it was the same (pat on the back there sweat coin) but then I checked my Fitbit charge 2 and it said 3,028 steps my phone (and sweat coin) said like 1,600 something. I’m not necessarily blaming Apple I’m blaming sweat coin because why can’t you like connect too my Fitbit bit you can connect to a Apple Watch makes ALOT of sense. Also it’s like 1,000 steps a sweat coin right? (That’s acodring to me) if the developers are purposely doing this I might as well delete sweat coin it’s basically useless, except for taking up my storage I’ll say that. So I literally just found out how to spend it so I went and not some stuff then accidentally put on 010 think it would be 0.10 but I couldn’t see the . because I have a cracked phone screen . So.. can I get a refund or something? Also it would be nice if Sweatcoin would like send you a gift card and ask for a address would be nice then buying a bunch of at of this world random stuffShow lessIm CR7 at this game
❗️MAJOR SECURITY ISSUE❗️
I understand that this a small team (this fact was mentioned in the help section of the app). But I've contacted the developer three times now about a very serious issue and to date, no one has responded back. Not even an auto-generated email saying 'hey, your feedback has been received, your ticket is in a que'. I'm literally logged into SOMEONE ELSE'S ACCOUNT. The only way this could have happened is that my phone number (which I haven't had for very long) was attached to someone else's account before. Since we don't create login credentials during setup, there's no way for me to sign out of this individual's account and for me to sign into my own. This is a MAJOR security issue. Absolutely nothing in the forums or the help section is going to help me resolve this issue; I need to talk to an actual person. If you have time to make an app and update it (shows last update 4 days ago), you've got to make time for your customers too. Use a CRM platform with a ticketing system, there's plenty to choose from. And one more thing... this is a big one and I probably won't use this app until they change this... allow users to create login credentials during setup so something like what I'm experiencing doesn't happen to someone else. People's phone numbers change sometimes.Show lessvangomex
DON’T waste your time with this app!!!
This app is a SCAM!!! You think you’re earning free money just by walking around outside, but here’s the catch; the items you can purchase with your Sweatcoins still demand some of your own money for shipping, membership, etc. and you end up getting sucked into something you thought was a good deal, but I’ve checked multiple times and they probably save you only $2 at most.
I’ve read soooo many reviews saying that Sweatcoin ripped them off after they had already spent their unfairly earned coins for “prizes” and when they tried to fix the problem with Customer Service, they never picked up, never returned phone calls, kept getting transferred to person after person, you name it. (I don’t say unfairly earned lightly, you could participate in 5 marathons in a day and they would only give you about $2 worth of coins) Thankfully, I didn’t experience this first hand because I was saving my coins for the ultimate price; $1,000. And I’m so glad I deleted the app before I invested too much time into it, because I would have been furious!!
ALSO, they track your location 24/7 to continuously count the steps you take every hour of every day, but honestly that is just straight up sketchy....Not worth it. ANDDDD they force you to keep the app running so it can be on in the background, lurking, tracking, and watching your every move. How creepy is that???Show lessMonalyssaBrooke

Hi, Thanks for leaving your review. This is correct - some of our offers are completely free, while others are discounted offers or require postage payment. This is always clearly written down in the offer description to avoid any confusion :) Please note that in terms of customer support, we don't currently offer phone support, but we do offer email support where you can log a ticket via the app itself and someone will be sure to get back to you as quickly as possible. If you have had any issue and haven't yet heard back, please could you provide your e-mail address so I can take a closer look? Do understand that we are offering free sweatcoins for your steps, and if you're not happy with the amount of sweatcoins you're earning, you're always welcome to upgrade your membership so you earn more coins a day, or invite as many friends as possible, where you'll receive 5 sweatcoins an invite :) Note that we track your GPS so that we can accurately count your steps, but there is nothing sketchy happening here! If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to support@sweatco.in :)Fantastic App!! It’s a big must have!! Just one thing..
Thank you so much Sweatcoin, I seriously appreciate you guys ive lost 20 pounds and was able to purchase a WEARABLE KEYBOARD a month or two back with the sweatcoins. I now take about 8k-10k steps a day and its incredible that a free app changed my perspective on fitness it still blows my mind. All my friends have it, we share sweatcoins and were currently 2k away from getting $1000 cash!!!! You guys are incredible!!
The down side of this is that when i downloaded it i hoped it would not only help me lose weight but also earn money, like real money. Ive seen adds all the time on snapchat about getting hundreds of dollars per week or whatever real money USD. And i work like a real job, im only 16 and i hoped i could end up having thousands maybe. Im not saying you all cheated but could you please tell the people that sponsor yall to not scam like that. My friend got pretty upset when she found out it was a lie by a snapchat user.
Other than that you guys’ app is amazing, please keep updating and keep thriving!! You guys are truly amazing i cant thank you enough for the easy easy weight lose!!Show lessTriadBasher
