It took me a while to get a $10 Amazon gift card because I had to remember to bring my phone (can't do it on the Samsung watch) to walk. But it works and they gave me the gift card code immediately! Not waiting at all! Much better than some other apps! Also lots of gift card choices ! I just wish I can use my watch to count the steps too. And more games that I don't have to download to collect points!
Reviews for Winwalk Step Tracker & Rewards
Honestly one of the best apps I've tried to passively make money: it's reliable, no money needs to be put into the app, I can forget about it during the day and still earn (as long as I remember by midnight but you can set up notifications), and it's a slow and steady progress. Only downside is that even with 10k+ steps daily, it'll still take a while to earn enough for a gift card but other than that, I love it.
App is very well thought out & works decently. Have been using for years, with several payouts. Have only had 1 major tech issues & they resolved. Only thing that could use work is that they only have gift cards available at certain times. I am aware that this is because they only get a certain amount at a time. I was just stating that this is the only drawback the app has.
I have been using this app for at least one year now. The points earning just through walking alone is very slow. You can only get a max of 100 points that way, and it takes around 1600 points to redeem your first reward. However, the alternate methods of earning points through watching videos, playing games, and taking surveys can add up rather quickly. Still relatively slow, but binging a new game from this app for 4 hours can earn you anywhere from 400 to 1200 points.
It takes a really long time to collect coins, and the surveys don't really work if you're under the age of 18, so the only real way to make any progress is to play the game offers. I'm taking one star off because the system of collecting coins at the end of the day is annoying for forgetful folks. The app fails as a motivator for walking though, as it only rewards you for up to 10,000 steps per day. Otherwise it works well. I just got a Spotify gift card and I'm really happy.
It's pretty good, many are complaining about the coins and pricing, but forget this is a free service paying them for no money in return. It's fairly easy to get coins and due to me going back to school I find it easy as pie to use with a costumizable background, icon, and name along with pronouns which you can choose male or female, or you can simply leave them blank, same with height and weight. It also allows you to choose your language and weather to track distance in miles or kilometers!
I just got this app, but already I can tell you that the icons need to be larger for my phone. It takes several attempts to go to any screen, for example trying to get to the ads or settings. It'd be nice if it didn't take 16000 coins for a $10 gift card, but I also understand this is free. So there's a trade off. It's more of a long haul reward system. UPDATE: You can swipe left and right, which helps, but I still have trouble accessing the settings gear icon which is too small for my fingers.
I personally would give it five stars, the app is easy to use, the support team takes care of issues really quickly, and it's actually pretty easy to earn coins. The only thing I'm not so happy about is that ever since the exchange for Google play gift cards have been out of stock, and somehow now the option has even been removed, I mean.. I understand the Google play gift cards are quite popular, and it's normally out of stock, but I think removing the option straight on is a bit much.
It's easy to use. Very user-friendly. I just feel like it doesn't give enough for how much I walk, but I haven't been using it very long. So that's still being decided. I wish it connected to Samsung Health, so I could, if needed, leave my phone on the charger, or when I'm at work, sometimes I leave my phone on my desk and I walk a lot at work. My samsung watch gets my steps, but that doesn't translate to GoogleFit.
It is really easy to earn points, and there are a range of gift cards to choose from when you use the points. However, points take really long to accumulate enough to redeem, though this is understandable for a walking app. Additionally, it repeatedly forces you to update, which can be very inconvenient.
