My tips are log in every day and boost your steps, plus there are daily bonus steps as well. I have cashed out 6 times since joining ! I highly recommend this app . jennygirlx 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ### 5/5 — This is Fantastic <3 *2026-08-18, version 3.8.6* It works great def worth trying out ### 2/5 — Just downloaded *2026-08-12, version 3.8.6* I just downloaded but it doesn’t have rewards for Canada yet? Please add Amazon gift cards for Canadians Update: only has Amazon gift cards and you can walk 5000 steps and earn money but if you walk any over you have to watch a video to get each 1000 more counted which is unfair compaired to other apps I use ### 5/5 — AWESOME APP! *2026-08-10, version 3.8.6* I LOVE this app! It really does pay to exercise! Thank you Million Steps! ### 5/5 — Grateful *2026-08-10, version 3.8.6* I received my gift card with joy. Truly BLESSED that I am able to partake in such an endeavor. Thank you for your support and service. I’m Blessed. Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Excellent walking app *2026-08-10, version 3.8.6* Great app! I walk a lot at work and and the points add up fast. The surveys are fun to do., I found some great gift ideas from the ads 😃 Cashing out is very easy. I highly recommend using this app! ### 5/5 — Works *2026-08-10, version 3.8.6* Works fine, just got my gift card ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2026-08-09, version 3.8.6* I will give this app a five star. ### 5/5 — First time using *2026-08-07, version 3.8.6* It seems easy to use, does take a while to add up but there’s quick ads you can watch to get your points up. I’ll see how it goes when cashing out. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-04, version 3.8.6* Earning 💵💸 while im getting my step 🙌🙌🙌 ### 5/5 — Got my first gift card *2026-08-04, version 3.8.6* I recently got my first card after 4 days of completing one million steps.. It really paid Please make a PayPal withdrawal as an option too plz plz ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-08-03, version 3.8.6* I was able to cash out 3 times (Amazon gift cards) already from this app. This is an awesome app, You just have to be consistent in visiting the app and log your steps everyday. ### 5/5 — Wonderful App!! *2026-08-03, version 3.8.6* Nice way to get some extra Amazon $$ by walking, watching videos and answering surveys. Thanks!!! ### 5/5 — Does what it says. Walk and earn *2026-08-03, version 3.8.6* I have walked 2M and received $10 gift cards for both. You have to watch some ads but it’s free money. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nerfed to hell and back *2026-09-01, version 3.8.7* I understand that ads are needed to make payout apps like this free. Ads are a given, their presence is not what this review is about. When I first downloaded this last year, the default limit each day was set at 5k, after which you needed to watch ads to increase the number of steps that counted towards each day. Each app increased the limit by 1k and the only thing that dictated how many times you could increase the limit was your own patience. Recently, I reopened the app for the first time in a while only to find that the app has become basically unusable. The current default limit is now ZERO STEPS. If the goal does not exist, how does it encourage people to move? The limit can still be increase, but unlike the 1k that you would get from each ad before, now the limit only increases by 500 steps. And unlike before when the upper bounds of the steps counted in the app only depended on your patience, the app now caps the steps at 5000 steps. The previous minimum is not this versions maximum. Before, you could complete the 1 million steps if you remembered to open the app every day in 200 days with no ads. Now? You have to watch 10 ads to achieve this. If you choose not to watch the ads, it will take you 2000 days. What used to take ~1/3rd of the year will now require ~5.5 years to complete. In summary, the updates have decreased the minimum, placed a cap and forced an increase in the ads you have to watch. The user experience for has gone completely downhill. If you’re going to suddenly required 10 x the effort, maybe you should give 10 x the reward. ### 1/5 — Not very pleased *2026-09-01, version 3.8.7* It’s doesn’t collect my steps like it says it would only allows me to collect steps through surveys or something ### 1/5 — Nerfed to hell and back *2026-08-30, version 3.8.7* I understand that ads are needed to make payout apps like this free.

I’m not comfortable doing that, so I deleted the app. ### 1/5 — Betrug - Finger weg! *2026-07-25, version 3.8.6* Diese App gaukelt einem vor, man könne für 1 Million Schritte 10,- Euro bekommen. Wenn man dann aber tatsächlich die Schritte erreicht hat, dauert es ewig bis überhaupt einmal reagiert wird. Und dann gibt es angeblich einen technischen Fehler und man bekommt kein Geld ausgezahlt. Das Spiel passiert mehrfach, bis man schließlich aufgibt. Diese App ist gar nicht darauf ausgelegt Geld auszuzahlen, sondern um User zu missbrauchen. Meine klare Empfehlung: Nehmt nicht diese App, da gibt es erheblich bessere und seriösere Varianten. ### 1/5 — No payout *2026-07-22, version 3.8.6* When I got to around 749k steps, I noticed it would only count steps if I watched an ad. And I only got 500 steps per ad. Do not use this app. Thieves ### 1/5 — 1,000,000 step goal *2026-06-15, version 3.8.6* Way too high of a goal for the average person who has a job and cannot walk around all day, every day. ### 1/5 — Shady, maybe? *2026-05-20, version 3.8.5* Won’t open. Tried to update the app. Still won’t work. Was really close to cashing out, too. Seems shady. ### 1/5 — App not working *2026-05-20, version 3.8.5* App can't open , please update ### 1/5 — Not opening the app *2026-05-18, version 3.8.5* The app will not open for me - I literally have to delete it and install it every day if I want to use the app or get my point ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-09-01, version 3.8.7* Actually works! got a gift card out of it love it! ### 5/5 — Steps *2026-09-01, version 3.8.7* Absolutely amazing so far ### 5/5 — Legit! *2026-08-31, version 3.8.7* I’ve cashed out a few times. It’s a valid app. ### 5/5 — Redeeming gift card *2026-08-31, version 3.8.7* Easy, quick process, gift card emailed to me, fantastic app will definitely keep on using this. Thank you 😀 ### 5/5 — Sweet! *2026-08-30, version 3.8.6* Paid to walk! That’s great! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-08-30, version 3.8.6* This is one of the best apps. I just got another GC. So far I got over 10 GIFT CARDS from Million Steps. It takes time but it’s free. 😊 And ads are not as long like some other walk apps. To me it’s worth it and you don’t have to ask for it. It automatically has a pop up saying you reached your million steps. And 4 days or so later it’s in your email. This is one of the better walk apps I tried so far. ### 5/5 — Love love love *2026-08-30, version 3.8.6* I loved this app until I just walked 1 million steps and it only ave me $5 and it says you're supposed to get $10...this app's falling off! ### 5/5 — JT *2026-08-22, version 3.8.6* Reward is paid immediately within 2 days ### 5/5 — Best app for exercise *2026-08-20, version 3.8.6* Excelent app , I love it. ### 5/5 — Fast payment *2026-08-19, version 3.8.6* I have received numerous $10 Amazon gift cards through this app. A nice reward for sticking to my walking goals! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
