List of Android Apps that Pay for Walking

I've seen several threads recently where people ask about apps that pay for walking/steps. I've scoured this subreddit and the Google Play Store, and I'm currently running 4 legit apps that pay in gift cards or Paypal for tracking your steps. I like these apps because the earning is mostly passive, and if you're particularly active it can add up. For instance, by stacking the 4 apps listed below, walking 10,000 steps daily = ~50¢ per day.

I'm aware there are apps like StepBet that involve putting up your own money and completing challenges, but I prefer earnings without the risk.

List:

CashWalk - 1000 steps = 3.3¢

This is by far the highest earner and easiest threshold to reach. 300 coins = $1, and you earn a coin every 100 steps. You can cashout at $5 for gift cards at Amazon, Walmart, and others. The only downside is you have to allow the lockscreen to display on your phone or you won't earn.

Hero Trainer - 1000 steps = 0.7¢

This app is supposedly geared at motivating gamers to stay active. 140 "Aura" = $1, and you earn 1 Aura every 1000 steps. They do have Amazon gift cards with a pretty high cashout of $20. There are also other gc option geared more towards gamers. You have to "check-in" daily to earn point from your steps. The biggest downside right now is you can only join if you have an invite code from the devlopers. PM and I can send you the one I found that worked, however I'm not sure it's still valid.

winwalk - 1000 steps = 0.6¢

This app is pretty easy, albeit a slow earner. 1600 coins = $1, and you earn 1 coin every 100 steps. If you're not very active, it could take awhile to cashout, which is $10. They have a variety of gift cards, though they go in and out of stock. The only pain to this app is you have to watch an ad once a day to collect all your coins (though the ad does give you 5 bonus coins).

Evidation - 1000 steps = ~0.3¢

Formerly called Achievement, this app is the slowest earner through walking alone. 1000 points = $1, and you get 1 point every ~350 steps. However, if you use some kind of fitness tracker, you can earn extra points from doing a variety of fitness activities. Also, this app doesn't require you to check-in or watch an ad to earn. Cashout is $10 via PayPal.

Honorable mention:

myWalgreens health goals

This app is a little different because it only pays in Walgreens Cash Rewards and earning isn't quite as simple. You can link your Walgreens account to Google Fit and earn 25¢ per week that you complete the challenge you pick on your Walgreens account. Challenges usually start with "walk 3,000 steps for 3 days in a week" and get progressively higher each week. Complete 4 weeks straight of challenges and you can spin a wheel for between $1-$2 bonus Walgreens Cash.

Apps I avoid:

Sweatcoin - rewards are basically worthless "deals" that you could get most anywhere.

Lifecoin - too slow earning, gift cards appear all out of stock

Lucky Step - scam app that shows an ad with every single interaction

Finally, I believe there's an app called Paceline that is available on iOS that pays for walking. However, I have not tried since I'm on Android. If there are others I've missed, I'd love to hear it and add to this list!
