Bitwalking for Android
No store. Can't sell. Check twitter account. Says soon. Anyone says do Sweatcoin is a dummy. They are scam like this one. Avoid at all cost. Until it is really available for the United States and around the world, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP AT ALL!
UPDATE 10 OCT 2017: OK I'm done here. Uninstalling. 1 year after launch I now I "have" $184 that I can't spend or use in any way. No updates from Dev for months. Very frustrating that it appears this is just another con after you've collected and probably sold my personal data for a year. Pointless as the "money" earned can't be withdrawn or spent. I'm not willing to continue letting this app drain my battery and track my location. I was patient for a year but enough is enough.
Complete scam, no store no rewards. I can only imagine what they are doing with my data. Uninstalled, you should too.
Complete scam. Yes you earn virtual Credit but theres absolutely No use for it. No cash out option No store. The store has been opening soon for 2 years
Update: It's been 6 months and no store. I have over $110 that is useless. Downgrading to one star.After contacting Bitwalking support through email, they helped me get my account up and running because the SMS verification was not working. They were very quick to respond and help me out. I am bumping my rating up fron 1 star to 3 stars. The only reason I only gave it 3 stars is because the Buy/Sell option is not available and the Store is not open yet. When these options are active, I will update my rating appropriately.
There is nothing to spend your BW$ on. I've had the app for the best part of a year now, with no sign of the store becoming available. This app is pointless without a store.
No payout for how many months? No response from management for complaints and non payment claims. Id surely say untill their advertising on TV mate leave it, they aint paying jack nor trying to solve it anytime soon. Ive seen people wait half a year
Originally rated 1 star as had been running the app for a week r two yet nothing was being earned. Upgraded it to a 2 star now as I am now earning walking dollars but months of running the app and as everyone says, still no way of spending earned dollars in the UK!!!
You're never going to do anything with this app, are you? I must've had this about a year now, and still the 'store has been coming' even since then. It doesn't drain your battery, that's the only upside, but it's a waste of time otherwise.
I like the idea of this app but it is still incomplete. Give us a place to spend our credit
After using this app for the best part of a year, I still cannot spend the $43.80 i have earned. Very disappointed so I'm reluctantly deleting.
I think that this app is a waste of time as you cannot get anything when you're in a country that many people have not downloaded it which does not make sense because an app called sweat coin allows that and that is why I'm telling everyone how this company tries to make money by making us use our data outside and then give us fake most ney which we can not even spend.
1. Its doesnt track you steps accurately. (You can try this by getting a step counter along with this app i had a 3DS and this app had way less steps compared to my 3DS. 2. No store available (April 2017) 3. No actual step counter, straight up balance shown.
Have had this app on my phone since Bitwalking came out on the app store. I did not use it because I was waiting to see if payments would eventually be able to made. Have decided to uninstall this app because no progress was made by the developers.
I have been using this app since October and all the parts of it have been 'coming soon' since its inception with no sign of anything changing. Effectively this app is useless it does nothing. In general the system of recording walking distance against bit walking dollars has been OK, a bit sketchy at times but fairly stable. Unfortunately recently this has seemed to have gone very bizarre sometimes recording nothing or over recording, perhaps they have server issues. Regardless of this there has been no official update since February and it looks like this is dead in the water, I would recommend that Google removes this app from the Play Store as it has no purpose and offers no function or benefit to users.
Got me out walking, which is good. Doubtful that the app will ever pay out, which isn't quite so good. Probably should rate a bit lower but giving the benefit of the doubt.
I suggest to authors to make the app open source and to move the database to the public blockchain, Prefix "bit" at the present de facto means decentralization and open source
We're being duped! This app tracks the users but doesn't pay for the tracking.... Another 3 months later and still no way to spend our points,!
You got me. Well done. Get me to agree to you cashing in on selling my tracking activity in exchange for walking dollars that can be used to buy....... Nothing, because you never had the intention of them being worth anything.
You can't say that you'll pay people without ACTUALLY paying them. That's just plain wrong. If we're going to earn this currency, at least let us buy something with it!
Good concept. But they never followed through with their plans to make it tradeable coin. In saying so I been walking with this app for a year thinking they would enable it but that never happened so this in the cryptocoin books is a dead coin if there is no market value. I truly sujest everyone to uninstall because it is doing something other then what it says it does ....
I'm wondering if this app is a lawsuit waiting to happen. how can you offer money to do something but not pay out. I know for a fact other lawsuits for less sh** have gone through and won. I'm at $50 and climbing. so far we have stealing data, tracking us, not paying us what we are owed. got to admit! sounds like a lawsuit in the making
Happy so far. Had app for 89 days and have 50 w$. Five stars when store opens and I'm happy with items that are for sale at a reasonable price. Free money! What's not to like? UPDATE........The novelty of this app is starting to wear a bit thin please hurry up and open the store so we can spend our money. ANOTHER UPDATE.....190 days I've had this app and I have 100 w$, but what can I do with them, NOTHING!!!!!!
Update: still no movement toward a cash out function, DO NOT INSTALL THIS IS A SCAM, I did get a reply from customer support but it was a 6 month old link. There is no way of spending my $130, so no more data from me, switched off and I'll switch it back on when (if ever) you get a store to spend my $.
I was pretty excited when Bitwalking was announced, years ago! (at least it feels like it) and last year they finally invited me to join. Months later, this app is still useless and no community updates as to how and when stores and currency will exchange this. How will we use it? Waited long enough, jus adding battery drain to my phone. Uninstalling
I been using this app off an on and yet i still cant cash out what i have earned. It only give 4 choices an when u choice one it says u voted for that reward. So how do you cash in the reward? It just feels like a bis wast if time......
Been months and months and still can't redeem anything. Waste of time. Do not install. Wait to see if they actually let you redeem anything. It's looking unlikely since this has been out years now as far as I'm aware. AVOID!!
Felt dubious when I installed it, months later and $47 collected and no change. Either actually reward us in some way or give me an option to delete all the data you've collected prior to my uninstallation. Worthless app.
I was super excited about the idea when I first heard of it. Then was the wait. Alright, I get it, you might have needed some time to sort it all out. But still there is nothing you could do, nothing to spend the W$ on, no way to trade them. Completely useless at this point & I'm done waiting.
I've been using this for about a year hoping to be able to cash my money or spend it in your store but nothing has happened so far, I have a feeling it's just a plan to collect user data! I'll give you a couple of days to give a status of what's going to happen before I uninstall it.
I thought it was pretty cool that I can get paid to walk but then 4 months and 75 dollars later I still cannot get actual money. It keeps telling me that the exchange is not yet available in my country. Wtf. Please fix this. Almost everyone else is saying the same thing, and I would figure that after almost 800 people complaining about the same thing you would fix it, but that is just me.
Have been using the app for over a year....still no way to redeem my almost 100 W$. This is beginning to look like false advertising. Customer service is non-existent and non-responsive. Just give us what you have promised.
Hey! Its overall really good! There is not a lot offered "in my country" and I do wish there would be a way to transfer the money to PayPal but its really cool its only been a week and I already have 3$ and 67¢ :)
Very rarely does it track now. Also very disappointed that the store to spend your w$ is not available and no idea as to when you if. No updates for a very long time. 1 star and removing
After a few updates it stopped working. WiFi and location is on and program running in the background. Generated 0.00 for last 2 weeks. Hope it gets better as it's a great idea. WORKING AGAIN NOW :-) dropped to 2 stars. A year and no store still
Great idea! Awful community engagement - all you need to do is an occasional update and we'll hold on for you to be ready. But no news whatsoever means I've got no faith in there ever being a 'store'. I'm not wasting any more battery life on Bitwalking.
So i was pretty excited when i first downloaded the app (many months ago) with the promise of earning bitwalking virtual currency just by walking about but nothing has changed. I generate W$ everyday and now have close to 50 but seems pretty pointless when all i seem to be doing is gathering data for them to sell on with no way of spending what i earn and no hint of this every changing "the bitwalking store is coming. Let us know how you would like to spend your W$". Please give us an update of when we can expect the store to arrive!
*UPDATE* the project seems to be stalling. App doesn't auto update steps, each day you now have to open the app and check the wallet to ensure your days steps will be counted, this never used to happen. Also an update from the Devs would be nice as to whether trading will happen before the heat death of the universe happens. <1st review> (At present no complaints, the app appears to be mining, my total steadily increases through the day as I walk. There doesn't appear to be any major impact on the battery. As this is still in its infancy I can only hope the system will grow and become viable. Time will tell.)
Guys this is not going to work. I have been with them for more than 6 months but store still closed. Found a new app call swetcoin and it is working. You guys blew the best opportunity you had by being slow.

Like many others, I had high hopes for this and now have a reasonable credit balance after a long time using it. But now it does not even record credits and there is no movement on channels so we can spend the money. At worst it is a scam, at best a complete failure to deliver. I've waited long enough. Uninstalling.
