SCAM! increase your screen time app

If you don’t open your app everyday, your steps don’t count toward the challange. I synced 2 days latter, steps where displayed but it marked that I missed my challange and lost 40 USD. Stay away

Scam

It’s a scam. Company keeps all the winnings and only gives you your money back that you put in for the bet. Do not waste your time with this app

Motivating but with an *

Love the idea and have been playing consistently for a long while. Left after they got bought out and came back. Still love it but be warned payouts are **slow** it’s been two weeks now and still waiting.

Daily goals are real progress!

I have lupus and interstitial lung disease, so getting steps in and staying active every day is equal parts challenging and important. StepBet gives me consistently fair yet challenging goals to strive for in a way that scratches my itch for immediate achievement - going for a stroll is no longer "something I should make room for", but something "I need to do TODAY", and then all of those today's add up to weeks and then BAM! I've made a few dollars to re-invest in another game and in myself. You won't get rich from this, it's hardly a side hustle, but it is absolutely perfect for me.

Greed. That’s all it is

Just straight up corporate greed trying to hold your money hostage. I get money is a great motivation for your steps, but it’s just plain horrible for the payout. I’m not expecting hundreds of dollars, but I completed 4 challenges and earned a whopping total of $0.85 throughout all of it. Don’t bother with this

Not impressed

The app never has the same number of steps as my watch and takes forever to refresh.

Good for accountability

Love that it kept me accountable, but really not worth the winnings. Don’t love that PayPal is the only way to receive the money. Had an issue receiving the money and customer service was very nice and helpful

Be careful

I paid 25 dollars to be in a challenge. Had trouble getting it to read my Garmin. It finally started working then stopped again and even though I had plenty of steps in I was disqualified. Super frustrating. I won’t ever use this again. Emailed support twice no response. If you have a Garmin be cautious

Get movin’!

This is a great accountability tool.

Not worth the money

I feel scammed. I walked, met my goals and won the challenge but after the app took their cut (over $10,000) all I got back was my original money. I’ll walk on my own without needing some app to hold my money for me, which is all it did. VERY DISAPPOINTED!
It’s all good to say the app is about motivation and accountability while it takes OVER $10,000, seems more like greed. I certainly don’t feel motivated by the app and I can motivate myself. I don’t need to give my money to a greedy app to do that.
On top of that, the app took my money right away but it’s taking DAYS to get it back!!!
I suggest others look elsewhere for “motivation and accountability”!!!

Rip off

Waste of time. Barely make anything from winning, and if you do win the only options are to keep it in your account to play other games or transfer to PayPal. I don’t have a PayPal so I had to send it to my husbands account and it never went through so all that money was lost.

Do not pay out winnings!

I met all requirements and was supposed to receive winnings. Despite repeated attempts to collect through customer support, my payout was never received. I cannot recommend this app and wouldn’t trust them with my money.

Sketchy practices

Memberships are heavily promoted throughout the app, but it’s also mentioned you can get a refund within the first week if you change your mind. I did change my mind because all of the challenges I wanted to partake in didn’t require a membership. I emailed and was told because I’d paid for my membership through Apple, they could not and would not help me. Extremely poor service and really turned me off to the app. I wish I hadn’t trusted their breezy refund promise. Buyer beware.

Poor payout

The accountability is great, however just completed challenge and over 2,000 people dropped out and StepBet kept $10,000 of winnings nothing to participants the other two I completed I made $2.00. Not worth it.

Loving this

What a fun way to get addicted to walking. My friends and I jumped in together and it’s been great for everyone. Excited to do more games.

Great app

Very motivating

StepBet

This is a very easy app to follow, and a lot of fun. It has kept me moving. I’m a competitive person so it motivates me.

Grateful

This challenge has been very motivating for me. I’ve been wanting to get moving, but was procrastinating. Two weeks down looking forward to finishing strong in the last three weeks.

Scam

There is not a simple way to claim winnings. It’s hidden under too many tabs and not a clear checkout method. Probably a bunch of bots walking against

The app takes all the profits

I put in 40$ got back 41$ after a bunch of people got out. Insane
