Don’t bother

I really wanted to like this app because I think the concept is great. Encouraging people to walk more and live a healthier lifestyle is something that deserves credit, and I genuinely respect the idea behind it.

My biggest issue is that the rewards don’t seem proportional to the commitment. You can spend over a week or even multiple weeks remembering to hit your daily step goal, putting in hours of walking, only to end up making around $5-10 if most people finish. On the other hand, it only takes one missed day to lose all of the time and effort you’ve invested. The risk versus reward just doesn’t feel balanced.

Fun app, legit money

I’ve downloaded several steps based apps over the years that give you pennies for watching endless videos and logging in 100x a day. The premise of this app is so much better. Put your money where your mouth is and get your steps in. It’s not gonna make me rich, but I’m 70 bucks ahead in the past couple months just by taking the steps I was already going to take.

You’ll Probably Only Win A Dollar or Two

It’s fun motivation, but even if a lot of people drop out, you probably won’t win much more than what you put in. I know it’s a business but there really is no real earnings you’ll make from most of these challenges but the company will usually earn several thousand at least.

Amazing App

This app has been the sole reason why I have been consistent with my walking! Whoever came up with the idea is a genius!! Financial incentive to not give up!! Truly love it ♥️

Fees are ridiculous

Ban people a lot and take 15% of every challenge meaning your actual winnings are very marginal. After fees you either make like a dollar or lose money. Scammy business model. Give the money to the people who earned it the middle men should not be taking that much on top of fees.

Confusion

I’m so confused I’m doing the map and it seems like you either get your money back or you lose money with each challenge. Can someone please explain to me how this works?

Challenges

Only lets you do one challenge at a time. Will be deleting app after completing my challenge

Response from developer

Hey Shadow, thank you for the honest feedback. Right now Steppa keeps you to one active challenge at a time so that the same steps are not counting toward several challenges at once, which keeps results fair for everyone competing. Joining multiple challenges at the same time is something we are actively building and it is coming in an upcoming release. Come back in the next week or two and this feature should be available! We would love the chance to earn you back.

Update on support

As an update to a recent review, I wrote, the Support team did take care of the issue. They just were not available on the weekend and I did not realize that. I want to give credit where it is due, and they have taken care of the issue. It’s a great app and I will continue to use it.

Good app, missing UK withdrawal..

Great app that motivates u to walk more. One Starr off because UK withdrawal option was promised long time ago, but it’s still not available…

Response from developer

Hey Michael, thank you for the four stars and for being straight with us about the wait. You can actually withdraw from the UK today through PayPal, so if you set one up and connect it in the app your balance can come out right away. Direct UK and EU bank withdrawals took us longer than we told you they would and we own that, but we are actively building it out now. If you hit any trouble getting PayPal connected, email support@playsteppa.com and we will get it sorted for you personally. Thank you for sticking with us.

Great Motivator

Very well thought out app. At first I was surprised that you can only join one challenge at a time, but when you think about it, it makes sense. Steppa really motivates me to get out there and walk more, and sometimes I just go for an extra walk in the evening to complete my challenge steps. The app works well and is designed beautifully!

Very sketchy

It’s very odd how the entire time I will be completing in a challenge the app states that there is only X amount of people still competing. Yesterday, by the final day, only 32 people were still competing. Somehow by the time they tallied it up, 190 people managed to win. Seems like they’re inflating the winners and pocketing cash. Very sketchy

Winning prize is low

Decent app, but not good enough to participate for low prices

Response from developer

Thank you for the honest feedback and we get where you are coming from. Rewards scale with the size of the challenge, so the larger ones return meaningfully more than the small ones do. Our Walking on a Dream challenge just wrapped on a $25 entry and finishers came away with $38. Steppa takes nothing out of the reward itself, only a small upfront service fee that covers payment processing, so the entry fees go to the people who finish. Give one of the bigger challenges a try and we think it will look different to you.

Great support & the motivation kick I needed

I just joined Steppa and had a great experience with the support team over there, helping me with a billing issue within hours of my email to them. Being part of the Steppa challenge helped me finish my workout yesterday even though I didn’t feel like doing it!

Good but needs improvements

Downloaded yesterday and already enjoying it however I was disappointed when I
realised you couldn’t join more than one challenge at once. I think this is something you guys need to act on urgently as it will make a lot more people feel inclined to download the app and get involved.

No UK payments

Only after you win a challenge are you told you can’t receive any funds in UK. This is a US app only.

Great App

It’s a great app that helps motivate you. Also had an excellent interaction with their support team.

Doesn’t properly sync

Doesn’t properly sync with Garmin connect and now I’m out $45

App is a scam

Challenges are seeded with fake users to artificially inflate the pot. App is advertised with fake user and review numbers.

Username

While signing up it doesn’t even let me claim a username. I have tried generating a random name after not being able to confirm the one i wanted to use, and still no luck.

I have also read some reviews and some state that there are some issues regarding withdrawals for non-US players. I hope they have resolved that as this app has potential.

Unfortunately it will be a 1 star as I have not even been able to play

Sketchy

Oh I need 200 steps to complete the challenge before bed? *walks around apartment complex*
Still need 150 steps to complete the challenge. Atrocious.
