WeWard - Walking Rewards App

Congratulations Anna I’ve updated my review for you, as requested! I also reported you to the App store, filed a complaint with the BBB and Trustpilot. UPDATE- Thank you so much Anna for reaching out to me and wasting more of my time. I followed your recommendation and reached out to weward AGAIN… they again failed to have any explanation as to why my account was suspended! And after the robotic initial answer, ignored all further emails. I am so grateful to you for once again reminding me of how annoyed I am with wewards. Scammers! Please don’t contact me again, and stop sending me emails about missing me and not forgetting to convert my steps, when you’ve blocked my account!! I’m sorry you miss stealing all my personal info. I know it must be devastating, (as France, where you are based, and the entire EU have stringent data laws), that you have one less American victim to steal data from. Should I end my message with a little kiss too??? x Help by voting true reviews as helpful so the truth comes to the top of the reviews. Refused to give me a rewards. I am the fourth person I know personally in the last week that they claim their algorithm has flagged and I am not eligible to redeem rewards. FYI there are no issues until you try to redeem your rewards, then suddenly you have broken the rules! So basically feel free to use the app and watch their gambling ads and have them mine your data. But they will not pay out EVER! Contacted repeatedly and they can’t give me any reason! We need to start a class action suit.

I have several walking apps and this one would have to be my least favorite. I don’t like the fact that you have to walk 20,000 steps each day to get the most number of WeWards (25 points total). On my best day, I may be getting 13-14,000 so I think 20,000 is a ridiculous amount for the average person. Most of my other walking apps have a max of 10,000 which is doable. I have yet to reach the top number to get all 25 points in one day, and I have been using this app for almost a year. Another feature that I just don’t understand the point of is “xp” which is what you earn to level up. I don’t understand how that helps me earn points towards gift cards so it seems pointless. Overall, I still use the app, but it’s definitely my least favorite. I did recently figure out that I could connect my Fitbit to it which has increased my liking for the app as I don’t keep my phone on me at all times so a lot of my steps would not get counted. Of all the walking apps I use, this one take the longest to cash out from walking alone. I tend to like to build my points up to get the largest gift card option. At this moment though, I can only get the $10 gift card for 1,000 points and I have used this every day for 261 days. I’m at 1,749 points right now. So all to say the payout seems to be slower than other apps but I’ll still use the app because it’s reliable and I can actually cash out. I just think there are better and faster cash out apps out there.

i have fun watching my steps be converted into this app and collecting XP. however, if you have a fluke day where you walk more than normal and reach the max step goal that day, it’ll up that goal for the next day. i have two days in my week when i don’t work as many hours so i tend to walk more on those days, but i can’t consistently meet the max on the other days especially when it bumps up the amount of required steps from those free days. for example, i normally try to hit 10k everyday. on sunday, i had more time and walked 17, (the max ward goal. when i opened the app on monday, the max ward goal had changed to 18k. i had time that day too, so i was able to reach it. tuesday comes and the steps required had changed to 19k. but the rest of the week i’m working longer hours so i cant meet this number. it says it’ll return to my previous level if i dont reach it in 7 days, but i feel that’s too long and it shouldn’t have changed that quick in the first place. i believe the steps for the max star level should only increase if you are showing consistency in reaching that level. one day reaching that level should not increase the requirement immediately for the next day, especially when it takes a week to go back down. so the rest of the week you’re missing out on wards. this especially irks me as someone with OCD, seeing the star level go unreached and missing out on wards because the two days i'm free messed up the rest of the week.
