Is the SweatCoin App Legitimate Or A Scam? My Review

Getting paid for walking is a great idea. While the reward may be little, the health benefit that comes along is great. So many of us are working on desk job and neglect our health until it’s too late. I’m just curious if this app require a device to track the footsteps or uses GPS to track our distance? And whether is this available in Asia countries?

Ive just walked my dog 7.4 miles doing nearly 15000 steps but only earned 4.75 sweatcoin thought you got .95 for 1000 steps

Initially you can only generate coins up to 5000 steps, but you can upgrade to 10,000 and more steps thus enabling you to generate more coins, I do a lot of walking so I’m on the 10, 000 steps.

I really like the app. The rewards list is growing slowly. Amazon gift cards are my favorite! Shared it with many people. Here’s a link if you want to try it with freebies https:sweatco.in/s/marzena686408 and see what you can get for simply walking and staying healthy ;).

Does this cost. Will money be automatically withdrawn from my account? I can’t afford for that to happen.

Just to be clear I’m not really walking to get paid ; I’m walking to get rewards ? I keep seeing the word money being used but if their not asking for deposit information that means I’m not getting any money $ correct ?

I’m a college student and I usually walk 10,000 steps a day. So most days I make up to ten points. By the end of each week then I have around 70 points. If you’re a college student this app is totally worth it!

Can the app track steps while on exercise equipment?

Really Cool Review! I wasn’t sure if this app was legit before but now I’m loving it! Thanks for the helpful review and wish me luck on my Amazon gift card adventure!

How does Sweatcoin make money itself?

This is a fun app. Makes you more aware of your movement. I work at a school and it does keep track of my steps while at work. I like to take breaks and walk down the halls and up and down the stairs.

The app really seems to be using a lot of battery. My battery drained almost twice as fast with this app. Not only that, but charging my phone takes longer.
Anything you aware of regarding the Sweatcoin App and the battery life on my cell phone?? Obviously I am aware it will use a little more of the battery life, but it seems to be using a lot more than that.

Thanks

Neil

The rewards aren’t worth it because they are not free and almost always require a credit card registration which is suspicious.

So the app tracks you where ever you go? Who pays for the rewards you earn and why are they willing to pay people to “stay fit?” My friend’s young daughter wanted to sign up by I am concerned that someone is now tracking her every move. Can you please explain a little more. Thank you so much for your time.

On the home screen at the bottom, its states that I have $33.11, but can never seem to buy anything and had app for months now, what is the minimum I need to buy anything. Also I find app drains battery quick and takes ages to re- charge

I’ve had Sweatcoin on my phone for several months now, so I can relay my experience.

Sweatcoin doesn’t really count your steps – only some of your steps. While an iPhone counts your steps accurately, this app ignores that number and uses a very paranoid filter to reduce the number it will accept. They are afraid someone might take a step indoors that shouldn’t count, so they err on the side of ignoring many outdoor steps. They admit that only 65% of steps on average are counted in their support details. That number is considerably lower for many people.

The app also runs down the battery very fast since it doesn’t use the accurate step counter already in your phone and has to remain open and communicating with their servers. I cannot say how much of that tracking information they retain or use, but I am sure someone will let us know at some stage.

The idea of rewarding steps is a nice, but the items in their store leave a lot to be desired.

Overall, it is not something that actually rewards you for steps despite the fact I wanted to believe it would.

Hi there,
if you are interested in apps that reward you for walking, have a look at our new app winwalk.
– it uses the phone steps sensor and counts all steps (up to 10,000/day)
– it offers great voucher coupons from many famous brands.
– no GPS, or login or personal info required!

We just launched in the UK and France for now on Android, but plan to launch in the US in a month or two.

Check out the play store app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.winwalk.android&hl=en

Thanks!

Although the app seems to be “legit”, there are some considerations…It doesn’t do a great job of tracking steps. Let’s be honest…I took several thousand steps one day and, after the “algorithm” processed my steps the first day I was awarded with 79 “verified” steps. The algorithm arbitrarily decides what counts as a step and what doesn’t (there’s no way the app can really tell if you are inside or outside, so it somehow creates a “map” of your traveling–and if you walk a LOT but in the same confined space, you may notice that many of your steps won’t actually count). Also, we don’t know what the author is really doing with all the GPS data being stored. You are being “tracked”, so there may be privacy concerns here. All that being said, it does “work”; just not that great in my opinion.

I guess this could work for some people who exercise outside with their phone attached to their body. I’m an indoor exerciser and I don’t hold my phone when I workout. I guess I’ll just stick with Achievement (http://tinyurl.com/ybqh9zsq) as while it is slow as well, you can earn actual $$ and it connects to multiple apps and devices (like my Fitbit) to get step credit.

I’ve been using the app for the past few days and I have noticed that it takes a while for the steps to start registering/counting. For example this morning, on my Fitbit I walked outside, along a main road for 9,550 steps, but the app only showed that I walked 4,097. I thought that maybe it was due GPS being possibly spotty, but now in thinking about it, the GPS wouldn’t have anything to do with ‘counting the steps’, plus I retraced my path several times and it counted all the steps all the rest of the times. Yesterday I was in a entirely different area and it did the same thing to me. Does it take about 2,000 steps before it starts counting or what am I doing wrong?
I just want to make it clear, that it did not ‘register’ steps that I was walking at all, NOT after the algorithm did its thing. My understanding is that of the 9,550 steps that I took, it goes through the algorithm process and them rejects some of the steps, but it only 4,097 of my steps went through the algorithm and from there some were rejected.

Hi, i’m really big into crypto currency, what is said about this app is very deceiving. You do not “make money” from this app. This ‘crypto currency’ does not have a value. It is a made up coin that increases over time for fitness related products. You cannot turn this into USD or whatever currency you use.

So it pays you…. how does that work for taxes at the end of the year?

I just joined Sweat Coin and I am a walker. How/when do move to the 10,000 step position? Do I need to make a settings change or will the app over time change it for me based on the number of steps it records over a given period of time.

My 12 year old son downloaded this app on my phone, & I was telling him “no, this is a joke…can’t be real”. Two months later & I have $110 in Sweatcoin moolah! And like your article said, you just download & forget it! Check it every few days, or whenever you think about it. I also like the free coin you can get daily…every bit counts! Oh, & I’m a stay at home mom (both sons in school), so it’s not like I’m constantly running around, racking up points! So far, so good!
