WeWard - The Walking App

this app WAS great now it's a waist of time, sometimes feels like a scam. downloading games, spending a lot of time playing and barely getting any rewards. then you open a ticket, sending screenshot as a proof just to tell me they won't give me my points. if you wanna convert your point into money its only a few available and there's this useless premium thing. I'll try to get my last money tranfer then get rid of this app. Not worth at all anymore, sadly.

I really love this app and the charity aspect. I have a recent problem with the new WeCards. On a walk, I can't pick up the cards during my walk. Also, some of the nearby cards it shows are down peoples private driveways. I love this new feature though, and can't wait to see what it becomes.

Uninstalling you don't get very many steps so you're not going to get very far it doesn't record all of your steps and when you do the spin the wheel thing and it gives you points or coins or whatever they're called you never get them it's a terrible app I've used it for a few months and thought it would be as good as cash walk but it is not the developer needs to work on giving people more coins and work on it recording your steps better it's too slow

It takes an incredibly long time to earn points. It doesn't help that this app is not accurate at all. I walked 10.5k steps today according to my Google Fit App, but this app only shows 8,227 and it is connected to my Fit account. That's too big of a difference.

The app is great for added motivation but the step tracker won't sync with Samsung health so usually my steps are off in app by 3000-5000/daily. The step widget absolutely drains my battery. Do not install the widget and don't download thinking about making fast money especially when it doesn't accurately count steps.

I was so hopeful for this app but sadly it is no where near accurate. my watch I wear every waking minute says 12,000 plus steps today and this app only converts half 6,000 steps I will probably delete I just wish they would make it compatible with samsung watches not going through different apps that count phone moves I don't always carry my phone.

*updated* It takes a lot of steps to earn wards, ok. It's almost impossible to complete the tier challenges (5k in 30m for lvl2) and it's harder to earn points the more you walk. The contact email is hard to access (not all help pages have it) and they don't respond to that or FB, so hope the FAQ is enough for you. They respond to a bad review in French when you type in English. I will keep going till I earn a reward and then I'm done.

What a great idea!!! Fantastic App! If I would suggest one thing to change it would be to introduce the ability to 'reject' adding cards to your collection once you arrive at one. Many times I've collected a card only to find I already have it. I have no option to reject it and carry on. You only allow us 5 per day so if I already have that card I'd Love the chance to reject it and continue walking to the next one in the hope that one is a card I don't have. It would encourage more walking!!!

It takes absolutely ages to get wards, and now with the new wecards instead of the explore page, I thought it would still be fun and was motivated to walk to get cards. Having completed a set, I was incredibly disappointed as I thought it would give wards as a reward, but instead it's just more cards? What's the point? Leveling up gives you 2 wards every few levels, otherwise there is no benefit. Overall it's a disappointing app...

The app does what you would expect in the beginning. After while you can see that the app is more about making money off ads then doing steps. Some of the tasks are not aligned with the step tracking idea all together. Some of the app features are collecting personal data and monitoring your phone's activities. One feature that was really annoying was the prompting to turn on reminders. How many time do I have to say no. Apparently everytime you want to submit steps. Good Luck.

An odd app. I have used this app since this past June and although upon first install it seemed promising, I had my fare share of issues with it. For starters, my progress doesn't save for some reason. I log my steps 3 times a day. I come back before midnight and log it again only to open up the app the next day and notice it says I missed that day. It's happened 5 times now. The second issues is the surveys. I'm not married with kids, so I don't qualify for any of them. Overall disheartening

I tried to like Weward to the point where no one else joined me. The lost progress is one of those situations that I never experienced. My main discrepancy with app is the surveys and the difficulties moving to the next level. I loved the donation idea, but the implementation for everything else is luck luster at best. I wish the company the best for the future. I'll stick with the basic step counter already on my phone.

It doesn't accurately count your steps. I set it up to sync with my Fitbit. Usually, on average, I walked about 10,000 steps a day, which my Fitbit reflects. This app will not reflect the correct amount of steps, therefore I lose out on points that I should have. Don't waste your time with this. It takes forever to even be able to get a reward anyways without downloading extra games to play and doing their tasks to earn more points.

This app really is great for what it offers but can be very overwhelming when you get to level 25 and up as the number of steps needed for the maximum stars is a bit out of reach for the average person this app needs to either give people the option to opt for casual walking or normal or be able to restart their level progression to a much more manageable walking steps. Oh when I mean casual walking like make the progression to the next level more to get to that level not the three stars

When you convert your steps you never get the full amount it says. I've tried to build up milestones before converting, and doing it when I hit each goals. Never do I get the full amount of points. Some research shows this is a common issue with this app. Makes it not worth it to even try. I tried to just keep the app and earn what I can but it's so frustrating I can't do it anymore. I use two other walking apps and am deleting this one. Not worth it.

I like the app, and even without the reward, it's a fun way to compare step counts between friends. The only suggestion I have : It would be nice to see the previous day ranking between friends. Past midnight, it resets, and there's no way to know the final ranking of the day. It's frustrating since most friends I know convert their steps just before midnight to get the most of it. My friends live on different time zones around the world, so their count resets way before I even finish the day.

The app itself is fine. I don't mind having to get a lot of points for anything worthwhile cuz I get that they can't just give things with monetary value out super easily for a free app. But I absolutely HATE the new level up system. Making it take MORE steps to earn the same amount of points under the guise of "challenging users" just feels like a cheap cop-out to make it easier to avoid giving out points to people who actually put in the work to get steps.
