I have basically tried most of the fitness apps found on Google Play store from 7 minute workouts to yoga lessons. 3 months back i came across a fitness app called Sweatcoin. Also what was interesting that it pays you currency which it aims to eventually turn into cryptocurrency. Interesting right? So I gave it a shot.
It has basically a point based system which gives you 1 sweatcoin per 1000 steps but here is a catch those steps are only counted if you walk outside. You can adjust a walk limit daily , you cant earn more than that by default its set to 5 sweatcoins. Also not to forget it has some decent items in shop with marathon on offers for which you can get Iphone X, Samsung Smart Tv and even 1000$ cash in paypal account but you need 20,000 Sweatcoins for that. You may also donate sweatcoins to charities for good cause.
Now coming to drawbacks the app has not so accurate step conversion rate which its algorithm converts which most of the time counts 60% of steps. App needs to be open while you walk , so it has battery drainage issue for people having low specification mobile phones.
So the conclusion for the app is that is a better than average app if you are fitness freak and also love to earn something sideways. Recently sweatcoins got huge funding and we might see more improvements in the app. Its a great concept and its going to achieve its real potential as soon as it launches its cryptocurrency.
