Looking for an incentive to keep yourself fit? well bother no more because there is an app that pays you for just walking around!
Sweatcoin is an app that let users earn Sweatcoin cryptocurrency for walking. The app tracks your outdoor steps and then convert them into Sweatcoin, and then rewards the user for every steps taken.
The app has over 2 million weekly active users on the app, and still growing it has surpassed apps like Snapchat, Messenger and other popular apps to become the second to the top in the free apps on App Store.
How Does It works?
When users signup, they link up their smartphone's health and fitness data and GPS location to the app. The then app verifies your steps with the help of GPS and phone's accelerometer and then reward the user according to steps taken.
Users are rewarded .95 Sweatcoins for every 1000 steps taken. These Sweatcoins can be used to buy Gadgets, gift cards, fitness classes, workout classes and a host of other items as the coins can also be spent in over 300 stores.
However, it worth to note that users can only earn when they walk outside and not on a treadmill at the gym. One downside of it is that the app is only available in the US, UK and Ireland for now, although the Sweatcoin founders say that they plan to expand outside of the US and UK markets to other English-speaking countries, and then onto Europe and Asia.
Sweatcoin is available on the Play Store and App Store
