There is no support line anywhere and the support chat does not work in the app. Is this company still around? Can someone answer me on when I will get my money?! Update: took over 2 weeks to get my withdrawal. Was able to get in contact about it and took multiple emails. They said my PayPal wasn’t set up but i have had an account for years. After responding that I have an account, my withdrawal came in right away. If I didn’t pester, no one was going to tell me anything. ### 3/5 — It was better before *2025-01-11, version 5.8.44* Cadoo is a good way to get fit while also making money. About a year ago, the app had a feature where there were contests for free , with no stakes and so you can just get fit and compete with your friends. That was when I first downloaded the app and when I redownloaded it today, I was looking for the free contests like before but they had all been deleted. Those contests were the reason I liked the app so much when I had first downloaded it. However the app still isn’t bad, it’s a good way to motivate yourself to keep getting gains, it’s just I’m confused as to why they had removed the free contests. ### 4/5 — Updated *2024-11-03, version 5.8.33* Was able to get money out of the app ### 3/5 — Want a reason why some exercises don’t count *2024-09-20* The app is pretty good. It has more than just walking like all the other apps, so I’m able to motivate myself to do stuff like push ups and sit ups, but sometimes when I do the exercises, they say I did less than I actually did, none at all, or just straight up not count the exercise and I want the option to see the reason. There were multiple times where they wouldn’t count my reps, and that can also be motivation for me to do more, but I want to know why my reps weren’t counted and fix that. It’s pretty frustrating when the work you put in means nothing. **Developer response:** Hi Riru-- we are always reviewing any reported missing reps. Please feel free to contact us at support@cadoo.io or in our Discord to report missing reps or any other problem. Our AI computervision cannot count reps that are done in a dark environment or when you are not completely in frame of the video. Let us know if things are improving and we are always here to support you. ### 2/5 — Great idea. Repeating technical issues. *2024-01-10, version 5.6.7* I do not recommend this app for the push-up challenge. It missed three out of my 15 days. Have a modern phone, great Internet, etc. —- When efforts in a challenge are mistakenly not identified, it’s disheartening. No response from the support team as to why the push-up efforts were intermittently no recorded. My understanding is that some type of AI is used to verify if the push-ups are valid. I expect the problem is in that step of the verification process. ### 2/5 — Do not update! *2023-11-23, version 5.5.5* After the latest update my black interface is gone, i have to use the white one, which is very annoying… How can i get back the black background??? Also, why am I seeing miles instead of km-s on my uploads? So frustrating… ### 2/5 — The idea is awesome but it’s not worth it. *2023-10-26, version 5.4.3* You deposit your balance into the app to sign up for challenges. (Unless you’re doing the free ones) You are charged a processing fee when you deposit and withdraw. The challenges are completed by most people so you end winning about $1 after a challenge. You’re charged a fee when you withdraw so technically you’re losing more money than you gained. To make matters worse, the withdraw feature will not function. It repeatedly gives errors and asks you to contact support. You’re better off taking your money and going to an actual gym. ### 5/5 — Great app to get fit *2023-08-09, version 5.3.1* Gives motivation ### 2/5 — Hidden fees! *2023-04-03, version 5.2.4* Charges you a fee to deposit $ and then another fee to withdraw money. I actually lost money despite completing all my challenges! Thanks! Corey ### 5/5 — I’ve never done so many push-ups *2023-03-15, version 5.2.4* Using Cadoo has led to me doing 10,000 more push-ups than I otherwise would have done. That speaks for itself - I’d have paid a lot to guarantee that would happen. Also! Overall I’ve made $65 on the app as well! So I was paid for the privilege. Might take up squatting soon too. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Never was offered a game *2025-03-18, version 5.8.52* No games to play ### 1/5 — Will change to 5, I have an error. *2024-08-03, version 5.8.24* For some reason after completing a game I have to do two free games again even though I already have fully completed two free games. ### 1/5 — Scam, Don't sign up. *2023-12-04, version 5.6.0* Doesn't let you withdraw. Rules unclear. 5.5% fees. I'd say only 1% of users will make money on this. The rest either lose money to fees or lose money. Don't waste your time just do a wager with your friends ### 1/5 — Whithdrawing money is super complicated *2023-11-15, version 5.5.4* The withdrawal process is annoying, even a banking app does not ask for this many steps (ex: upload a selfie holding a note and your id…), feels like they made it this way to stop people from withdrawing … Otherwise the app and concept behind it is nice. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2023-10-13, version 5.4.2* Challenges are usually completed by most people so you don’t make any money. The minimum withdrawal is $20 so if you don’t have that in your account then you will never be able to withdrawal your money ### 1/5 — SCAM STAY AWAY *2023-10-05, version 5.4.1* Once you put money in, you can’t get it back. I tried withdrawing $100 in May and it is still “pending”. No response from customer service. It is now October 2023 and still NOTHING. ### 1/5 — Scam *2023-08-04, version 5.3.1* I have $170 in the app and have been trying to cash out for over a month. There is no support or anything to contact. Don’t put money in the app ### 1/5 — Don’t trust the reviews on this App! *2023-07-31* This company is a huge scam! Don’t waste your time and money trying to finish these challenges. They will steal your money and never return it. The customer service is terrible as well and kept telling me I was harassing her for asking where my money went. She kept on giving me fraudulent info on getting impatient with me. Other people also experienced their money going missing. She ended up blocking me on discord for trying to find out what’s happening. These corporate robbers feed on people who can’t finish the challenges (what they call losers). For an App that is supposed to encourage fitness they label people as losers and steal their money. **Developer response:** Hi Krisssythekilla! Great name. You can email me directly tim@cadoo.io.

If you are trying to commit fraud or making our community unsafe, then you will eliminated from the Cadoo community. ### 1/5 — Get ready to be sued *2023-06-10, version 5.2.7* They are scamming you. It is my hope that any hopeful people looking to make a little money stay away. You’d be better off going to the casino. They aren’t giving you your money back. I can’t believe they’re able to get away with this. Please stay away. I really need my money back and they’re keeping it to themselves. When there’s a class action lawsuit, I’m frontline. I may start it myself. ### 1/5 — I wish I could like this app *2023-05-31, version 5.2.7* I really want to like this app but there’s a ton of glitches and issues. Additionally, I’ve been trying to get my money out of the app for 6 months and can’t get it. I’ve had hundreds of dollars stuck in this app & support won’t reply for help. Good ideas, poor execution. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Train *2026-04-09, version 5.9.16* It’s great! ### 5/5 — Great Product *2024-09-02, version 5.8.26* This product is great. This is a great app with lots of potential! ### 5/5 — They fixed the payments! *2024-08-27* I was previously forced to submit a 1 star review for this app despite greatly enjoying it both in premise and practice. But they’ve since fixed their payment problems! It takes a couples days still but after seeing legitimate transaction out I couldn’t recommend the app more 👍 **Developer response:** Thanks Seismic we are working hard to improve Cadoo every single day. ### 5/5 — Aridio Familia Lorenzo *2024-06-12, version 5.8.12* This is a good App to Maintain a healthy Lifestyle,And without expecting anything, Cadoo rewards me with money, but the best thing is that Cadoo it has given me good friends, which I admire and respect and appreciate, 🫶🏃‍♀️ ### 5/5 — Cadoo Motivates Me *2024-05-01, version 5.8.6* It is a combination of the social accountability the AI verified proof of work out the reliability and the money motivation where I can earn money or lose money by reaching my fitness goals that keeps me coming back to Cadoo over and over the products gotten better and I’m looking forward to season two let’s go! ### 5/5 — Cadoo really works! *2024-02-25, version 5.7.3* I’ve been lazy in the past and really wanted to get back to my fitness goals. Cadoo really has done nothing but help me in my path. Before I started Cadoo, I couldn’t even do a push-up, now I can do 8 at a time! Thank you for everything you do, Cadoo. My username is SquiggleWiggleWoo if you want to try to beat me at getting to your goals! ### 5/5 — Cadoo makes me fit *2024-01-16, version 5.6.8* it motivates me to do pushups and steps every day. ### 5/5 — Keeps You Accountable *2023-10-20* Cadoo is a good motivational workout app. After joining their Discord group you truly see the team wants to see everyone succeed. Whether they are fielding app problems as quickly as possible or explaining how to improve your form on various activities. The challenges definitely push you to improve as long as you do not try to cheat the system. I am eager to see the new features and ideas they come out with in the future. **Developer response:** thanks Tyler you are a valuable member of our community. Get fit, get paid. ### 5/5 — A fun way to get motivated for fitness *2023-10-17* I joined to see if I could make money doing challenges. It is pretty hard to make any meaningful amount of money. I’ve completed hundreds of challenges. Most of them I just got my money back. When I have made money, it has generally been less than a dollar. But I have found the league aspect competitive and motivating. I’m now doing more push-ups, sit-ups and squats than I have in years and I’m getting stronger. I don’t even really know the point of the leagues but it is fun to try to move up each week. **Developer response:** Thank you for the great review. We are always aiming to improve and do better. Season 2 is going to be great. See you there! ### 5/5 — Great motivator! *2023-10-17, version 5.4.2* This app helps me stay motivated to do the workouts. When skipping the set of pushups means you lose 35$, all of a sudden it’s much easier to find time for it! And the small financial incentive is really nice as well! There were a few times the app glitched on me or I misunderstood something, and support was always helpful! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
