I was just getting close to being able to cash out and then you change it and that no longer can happen. I went in daily and did the things you required to build up a cash balance. I was approaching the 2 million point mark when you changed it all and everything got erased. That is kind of a sleazy thing for you to do. I won’t be giving any higher rating to this app because of that and there is nowhere to contact customer service. Was this what you intended to do all along cheat people ? I guess we’ll see what kind of response you have. ### 3/5 — Still no withdrawal *2024-10-15* How long does it take to review the withdrawal please ? Taken 7 days so far and still says reviewing ### 3/5 — Not sure yet *2024-10-14* So I finally got enough to withdraw and it’s been “under review” for 11 days now. There’s no faq or help link in the app to get more information on when it should clear. The “ app support” in the App Store just takes me to a web page that is obviously not in English and there are no links or menus to click on to get anymore information or assistance. It would be nice to get some actual support/answers. Otherwise I’ll just have to stop using the app and change this to a one star review instead. ### 1/5 — Seemingly a scam *2024-10-07* My threshold to cash out was $5 and I’ve watched ads for about a week and have earned $10.05 yet there’s nowhere to cash out. Progress always shows as 67 on the meter to claim $5 even though I supposedly have over $10. Waste of time and a scam. ### 1/5 — Not as Advertised. Avoid this App. *2024-09-28* I spent months using this app every day until I finally reached enough gold to earn a $35 gift card. You get a little bit of gold every day for walking, after watching ads of course. 90% of how you earn gold is strictly through sitting and watching ads. I’ve tried exchanging my gold for a gift card. The app says it takes 3-7 to process. I’m going on 17 days and my transaction is still being “reviewed.” I’ve reached out to the company to ask why it’s taking so long and have not heard anything. I think I wasted at least an hour a day for months for absolutely nothing. Avoid this app. ### 1/5 — Never pays out *2024-09-28* Rewards get reduced as you close in on the minimum payout. You can tough through doing absolutely everything for over 6months to hit min payout, only to have your gift card request stuck reviewing forever without actually paying out. ### 1/5 — “No Network” Since Last Week *2024-09-23* No Network since last week, let me know when you’re up and running again. ### 1/5 — This is a SCAM *2024-09-21* This is a scam, they earn the advertising revenue but they never pay anything out to their players. I started with a requirement of earning $25 dollars to withdraw a gift card. When I approached $25 they increased it to $35, then to $45. When I reached $45, they allowed me to request a $45 Amazon gift card, they removed the coins earned from my account and they show the redemption to be under review. It has been under review for a month now and they haven’t paid out the gift card or contacted me. Don’t waste your time with this app, you are only putting money in their pockets! SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM ### 1/5 — What a con *2024-09-19* You watch loads of ads and get a few cents each time and earn about $1 a day. But as you approach the $35 minimum payout it first cuts it in half what you can earn and then to a tenth. So you can’t ever quite get to a payout!! What a con - as all the while they make money from you watching the adds. Wish I had deleted it weeks ago!!! ### 1/5 — Steps app *2024-09-19* Worked ok for a while, then something went wrong and it stopped opening the app. Then nearly crashed my phone, deleted the app phone now working again. ### 4/5 — Please sort out the network connection *2024-09-18* The app is good but please sort out the network connection it’s hard to even play the game at all with poor connection to the app ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-09-17* Total Right is a big SCAM, it takes a long time to get money, and they just want your money, not you making money! ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-09-02* You can’t ever reach the cash out. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Is it legit *2024-09-02* NO,it’s not legit,it’s a fake and there is no clear explanation how to withdraw money from,I had almost $15 dollars worth of coins and couldn’t withdraw,i followed few tips and advice and last one i did it says to click to delete account and it will pop up for withdrawals,i only deleted account and lost everything,if anyone can explain to me instructions how to redeem my money thank you and I hope someone will help me to resolve this matter ### 1/5 — I liked it until…. *2024-08-20* So i do t usually write reviews like this, typically I would contact customer support for help with issues. However… there is no customer support anywhere on the app. I searched every page and tab it has. I tried to use the app support link that’s in the App Store under this app but it takes me to a website that is almost completely in another language so I was unable to use it. I was really enjoying this app and even found some interesting new apps from the adds. I like the exchange steps feature, I walk a lot for work so it’s perfect for me. I don’t mind watching all the adds either. What upset me is that once I accumulated enough gold to exchange for a gift card I never received my reward!!! I started with a $5 one to test out how the redemption process works. So far it doesn’t work at all! It’s been over two weeks and it still says reviewing for my reward. It said redemption could take up to seven days, which I find rather ridiculous because other apps let you the reward instantly. However, I was fine with waiting if it was actually going to give me the reward. Unless something changes I won’t be using this app anymore. Which is a shame because I actually was really enjoying it and had been spending time on this app daily. However, I’m not going to waste my time watching all those adds to never get rewarded. ### 1/5 — DONT DOWNLOAD *2024-08-17* Holy cow I have never seen anything more wack than this app right here. So the way the app works is that when you walk and reach a certain amount of steps in a day, you get different amounts of coins. For example, something like 1000 steps might be 100 coins. (I can’t remember if that’s a real amount and steps, but you get the idea), well, when I reached a large amount of steps and claimed my reward. I only received 1000 coins instead of the 6000 that I was CLEARLY supposed to receive on the front page. Not only that, but everytime you want to claim your reward you must watch a 30 second ad. Sometimes the ads are even longer. The whole thing is a massive ad trap. You click on “claim reward” and you get an ad despite never being told that there would be an ad. There are much better apps to earn while walking than this. They load you up on ads and don’t give you what your promised to get. Horrible. ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-08-15* You have to watch ads for a couple of hours a day, then you don't get anything! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — NO EARNINGS ANYMORE. SCAM. *2024-12-09* There are no more earnings for this app anymore, they removed ALL OF THAT. It’s just a step tracker now! I watched a bunch of tasteless, stupid ads and never cashed out once. They made money off of us and then removed all of our rewards. I’ve reported this SCAM app to Apple. You should too! ### 1/5 — Total Scam *2024-11-23* I was working towards a $40 payout; then suddenly it ‘had’ to be $45 to receive anything. Fine, I got to $42 and everything changed. Steps, points, cash outs, everything.Total ripoff. ### 1/5 — Total *2024-11-18* Never able to cash out, no place for contact them for help. Don’t get it 😥 ### 1/5 — Total sham/scam *2024-11-12* Downloaded this APP almost a year ago with hopes of earning gift cards or cash. APP required a minimum earning of $35 before cashing out. It stared by letting me earn $1 or 2 dollars a day (caps how many steps can be used to earn points/dollars), but it had games and news I could participate in which allowed additional earning. But, the more I earned, the less it allowed me to earn per day. By the time I got to $32, the most I could earn was $0.01 to $0.03 per day depending on how many ads I was willing to watch. As I approached $33 in accrued earnings, the APP dropped my maximum earnings per day to $0.00. I wasted hours watching those ads (would have stopped sooner, but by the time I worked up to $30, it became a personal challenge for me to get that $35), and, in the end, was denied the ability to reach the goal. ### 1/5 — Scam app *2024-11-11* They updated the app and now there is no way to make money from it , total scam as I’d got to @£20 by watching Loads of ads but can’t cash out till £35, now everything is gone ### 1/5 — Did I lose everything??? *2024-11-09* UPDATE: The app had a complete overhaul and I can’t find all my points. I had nearly $34 worth of points. They’re all gone as far as I can tell. If the points system is gone, I can live with that. I just want to redeem everything I earned over the last 6 months. I feel like I’ve been cheated. UPDATE (AGAIN): It seems like when the reward points become tiny, you have to redeem the little reward cards and it gets the bigger rewards back. I think they should have been a little more up front about how this works, but I get little gift cards for walking and watching ads, so it’s still a fair enough deal. After seemingly being fixed, the issue with massively decreased rewards is back! Please fix! This used to work great, but something went wrong two days ago. No matter how many commercials I watch, it won’t give me rewards for it. It wouldn’t be that big of a problem, but since it stopped counting it it decreased ALL my other rewards with it. I would have easily given the app a better rating before and I will if this gets fixed, but it’s really frustrating and it’s messing with my progress. :( UPDATE: The last update seems to have fixed it! Thanks guys! ### 1/5 — Absolute rubbish, don’t waste your time *2024-10-23* I have had two withdrawals in “reviewing”status for over a month now with no sign of any change. There’s no info on the app and the “App Support” on here takes you to a website in a foreign language which I don’t understand with no option to change the language so I can’t even find the contact details. Even if I did I doubt they would respond. Absolute joke of an app, I’m so annoyed that Apple allow this on the platform. ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-10-23* I walked for 2 and 2/2 hours with my dog, all I got was .91 cause it keeps stopping to make me watch ads, works if your lazy and just sit in your sss and watch ads, I wanted this app to encourage more walking for health, not to sit on my sss and watch ads for money, the walking app does not work, took 40 min. to get out of ads so I could walk then it didn’t work cause it stops to make you watch ads, how do you know it stops if your walking, total waste of my time, now, I can’t even get my money after doing all the daily requirement to boost my $0.91 and it has no pay out what so ever, worked it up to $4. and change but it won’t pay me, SCAM CITY ### 1/5 — Not sure yet, updated *2024-10-22* So I finally got enough to withdraw and it’s been “under review” for 11 days now. There’s no faq or help link in the app to get more information on when it should clear. The “ app support” in the App Store just takes me to a web page that is obviously not in English and there are no links or menus to click on to get anymore information or assistance. It would be nice to get some actual support/answers. Otherwise I’ll just have to stop using the app and change this to a one star review instead. Update: it has been 3 weeks since I tried to do a “withdrawal” it’s still pending. No one has addressed my issue. Do not use this app. It’s a waste of time and the tech support is not in English. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t pay!! Scam 100,000% *2024-10-18* Got a response back after the first part of my review (now after this passage) and so far I have a pending of $5 since 9/5 & $10 pending since 10/11 definitely has been more than 3-7 days and there is no help/support to help redeem it still says “reviewing” Original Review: Worked amazing at the beginning. I started in April/May. Got to $22-$26 after that it decreases drastically!!!! Mind you, you can’t cash out until reaching $35 so it doesn’t even matter. I was stubborn enough to see how far it would get me I just stopped now in Sept at $31 (I know so close,right) unfortunately though it gives you maybe .01 cent PER DAY…there’s no way I’m continuing for 400 more days for $4, if I’m mathing correctly. That also is if it doesn’t decrease even less than that smh. Such a waste of time.

And the coins go from ,1000 or so to 50 per Add you look at. So it’s A Lot of Add’s to try and Cash out. Walking Do Not Generate to coins. And I’ve walked over 8 miles and it do not say I’ve Walked that Far. And I’m using A iPhone So far I’ve been playing this for a Month and too Weeks and it paid out 2 or 5 Cent at a Time. Then as you get closer to Cashing Out it Makes me Look at Ten Add’s to get a penny then It Stops on some add’s to give you Coins to cash out. So I’m Thinking this is A Scam Game and It’s A Big Waste of Time To get Told You Don’t Get Anything From Given Your Time Data. Well I’m at $27,21 and it’s not Given Enough to Cash out yet. So I’ll Update You When i Get to cash out. OR if they Be as every other game. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2024-07-05* Simple and easy to use ### 5/5 — Lively steps *2024-07-04* Greatest app ### 5/5 — Good *2024-07-02* Great ### 5/5 — Cashed 1p Haven’t cashed out yet but will try *2024-06-21* Fun and easy to do ### 5/5 — Lively steps *2024-06-21* Easy to use good so far ### 5/5 — Steps for winning *2024-06-20* It's been awesome and I wish to win some money on my steps --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
