WHAT IS SWEATCOIN?
A fitness program called Sweatcoin counts your steps and rewards you with ‘Sweatcoins,’ a kind of virtual cash, after every 1,000 steps you take. Unfortunately, you cannot withdraw cash, but you may spend Sweatcoins to make purchases from collaborating businesses on an in-app market.
HOW DOES SWEATCOIN ACTUALLY WORK?
Sweatcoin may be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play Store and used with an Apple Watch or smartphone. You are asked for your name, phone number, email address, and—most importantly—whether you want to give the app access to your GPS position after installing the app. According to Sweatcoin, this is done to ensure that it only counts your outside steps and serves as a safeguard against users trying to game the system. Meanwhile, several commenters have voiced privacy concerns due to the significant amount of location data that may be at risk. In response, Sweatcoin makes the unwavering assurance of complete data privacy and asserts on its website that it will never sell user data.
Once configured, Sweatcoin tracks your outdoor steps by using the accelerometer and GPS position of your device. For every 1,000 outdoor steps you take, the app now awards 0.95 Sweatcoins (it deducts a 5% fee from each Sweatcoin received).
RATING AND COMMENTS
“What a wonderful software! It genuinely motivated me to take a stroll. The fact that you get rewarded for walking is the icing on the cake. However, there is a problem that persists. I try to play a commercial, but it keeps loading without actually starting. If I am making a mistake, will you kindly help me fix it? Other than that, it’s excellent software! – Gia.C”
“The concept behind this app is fantastic. To genuinely earn enormous amounts of cash, you must be a member of the top class. My daily double has recently stopped appropriately measuring my steps. For instance, the daily double timer reports that I have taken 2000 steps while it is running, but when it is over, it only counts about 900. I am unsure of the issue. Apart from that, I adore this app. – Anna.E”
