WeWard - The Walking App 12+

good BUT max goal changes too quick…

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.

Unrealistic expectations

I’m a 70+ lady who loves to walk. Thought I’d love this app and at first it was great. But everytime you meet your goal to get max wards fir the day, you move to next level which increases your goal. That’s ok to a point but now it up to 36,000 steps and will continue to climb. Ditto for the challenges. Some of them are just too much but you can’t move on to next challenges unless you do 5 of them. Motivate friends really? What if you have no friends that walk? Can’t do those. 8000 steps in an hour? Young folks and runners can do that, not me. 😪 24 March I cashed out for $10 walmart card to test if it really is legit, got email saying would get it in 7 business days…..still waiting for it 9 April, and am thinking it may not arrive. So……I kept the app so far but am really not expecting much as I’ve advanced about as far as I can, which is sad as I really enjoyed the more realistic challenges, just can’t get to tier 5.
Ps….do like the options of donating wards to various projects.

Very Unrealistic Pay, Doesn’t track steps correctly!

I am very disappointed with this app. I continue to use it each day in hopes there will be an update coming up. If you are not a huge walker like me, this is not the app for you. You will be getting 1-3 coins a day and it takes thousands to cash out. Not to mention, I wear a fitbit every day. It tracks my steps very well and is connected to my “Apple Health” -I understand not all people have apple products this is just my experience- My steps on my watch and loaded within the Health app are always SIGNIFICANTLY higher than they are on the Weward app. So I am losing out on rewards I should be getting ever single day. I mean every single day, the step counter on Weward and on my Health app are THOUSANDS of steps apart. And it gives you no option to input the correct number of steps which is understandable because people would cheat the system. But can you guys make it to where out smart watches can sync to the app? or at least to where the Health app can sync to the Weward app? Why is this not already a feature??? I’m tired of missing out on Rewards I should be getting every single day. I do not leave my phone in my pocket to walk every where I go. I shouldn’t have to keep my phone in my pocket at the gym. And afterall, keeping your phone close to your skin is known to cause cancer, so why are you guys influencing that?
