Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 46 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many people express significant dissatisfaction with the application's functionality, noting that it frequently bugs out, freezes, and becomes almost unusable. Customers report issues with incorrect step counting and the app failing to properly credit Sweatcoins, even for Premium users. The value for money is a major concern, as many feel the rewards are negligible, requiring years to accumulate a small cash-out value, if at all possible. Some people were dissatisfied with the payment process, citing difficulties in redeeming gift cards, issues with prize draws, and a lack of transparency regarding coin balances. Additionally, some customers mention that the app promotes products from companies that are perceived as unreliable through its deals.

Used to be good but have now had months…

Used to be good but have now had months of issues with daily boost. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Cleared data. All latest updates but still resolves to $0, on the days it doesn't just spin for 3 days, finally finish, still give you $0 but keep you from starting another boost that day. First reported to support in April, 3 months and same issue keeps returning.

Can't collect in some cases due to lack of NEAR but no notifications given until NEAR had run out. Tried to transfer from spouse but NEAR charge for transaction was higher than NEAR she has left.

$1000 Amazon Gift Card Winner

I am the June 2024 winner of the Sweatcoin $1000 Amazon Gift Card Auction. As promised, the prize redemption process was easy and quick. My prize was emailed to me within 2 weeks. I am very grateful to Sweatcoin for creating an Ap that not only caters to those that love to walk and/or need the motivation to walk - but PAYS to walk! I have been active member since 2018. If you need more convincing, this is my 2nd time winning an Auction. In 2020 I won the $1000 Lululemon Gift card! Sweatcoin is a great way to stay healthy and be rewarded.

Thank you for your review, Edita and well done on that amazing auction win. We're so pleased to hear you've put your hard earned steps to good use!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A perfect way to earn credits you can actually use, and win gifts!

This is such an amazing way to keep yourself motivated! I have been a member for years and have used Sweatcoin when I need that little extra push. Not only do you earn steps, but you have the chance to join races against others and win prizes! I just won $500 just for walking! A must have application, thanks Sweatcoin!

Great app and prizes

I’ve been using sweatcoin for over a year and have been able to use my coins to get discounts and special offers on products.
Recently Ive been entering their monthly prize draws and was a little sceptical until I won last months draw, a steam deck. I was totally surprised to have won. I received email notification with details of how to claim my prize. It was straightforward and my prize was delivered really quickly. Very impressed!
I’ll continue using the app as it’s a great way to track my steps each day.

The app is a pointless waste of time

The app is a pointless waste of time. If it bothers to count your steps at all, it does so very intermittently and they are rarely correct.
The developers are more bothered about generating income by bombarding you with ads.
I'll stick to my Fitbit thank you

Sweatcoin boost not converting enough steps

Been using sweatcoin boost for couple of years now but since last few days I'm getting none of the 20 minute active steps converted to anything at all. I noticed they changed the boost provider to Wirex and that's where it all started from. Wirex are disappointing me and many others I'm sure. Admin should look into this.

The app endorses scams

The app endorses scams like the Ekko Pro Max headphones which are nothing more than very low quality plastic headphones. I could have made them myself in a sweatshop in China. The headphones have nothing in common with what has been advertised on the website (which is gone, btw). Ordered them only because I got an 80% discount from Sweatcoin.

I have complained about the sweatcoin…

I have complained about the sweatcoin app a few times now and so has my husband. Sweatcoin counts my steps fine, but when it comes to my boost it's not validating the steps that I have done in the 20 mins. It's hardly giving me any or none at all. I've done everything they tell me to do. It'll work one day and not the next. Today got none even though I did a few thousand steps. The boost is so hit and miss it just isn't working like it used to

Do NOT Trust them

I have spent five years building up sweat to find one day that my account has been blocked. I used my email and it didn’t work. It said my password had changed. I have not changed my password. I contacted them and explained and sent a photograph. Three times I have chased with no reply . Do NOT trust this site you are building SWEAT for them to take off you and use for themselves.

Hi Becky,

We are sorry that you've felt the need to leave us such a negative review here.

We are not sure what you're referring to here, as Sweatcoin doesn't require any password to login.

If you're referring to our sister app Sweat Wallet however, then to log in there you need to use your activation email which contains a seed phrase. If you're having issues logging in, it'll be for one of two reasons: either you're not inputting your seed phrase correctly (make sure there's no capitalisation etc between each word), or that you've previously logged into Sweat Wallet and updated your seed phrase (rendering the original seed phrase unusable).

Please understand that we have many millions of happy users using both Sweatcoin and Sweat Wallet, but that logging into Sweat Wallet can be tricky for some of our users, so do make sure to contact our support team if you require further assistance or explanation.

Thank you,
Team Sweatcoin

EKKO UK over Sweatcoin , i think this company and working with EKKo uk as they tell you order via the sweatcoin app and you order and item never comes .and the Ekko site is down .

Wow 100% Working

Wow! How lovely was it to get an email that I have won. And yes on my sweatcoin app the link too was clear to have my form filled.

The filling process too was simple and seamless that took just a minute. And the instructions were quite clear and with option of wise or PayPal if my won prize couldn't be availed physically.

Yes and honest to their feedback that within 7 days I will have received my win?

Yes indeed less than 7 days had my successful response via PayPal my win had already been sent. And for sure within minutes upon making my request I got it.

This is quite fantastic and encouraging with myths demystified and fear gone now I am in whole heartedly and a key ambassador that it's not only possible but The Sweatcoin Movement is practical and working.

This app actually does deliver

I have been using sweatcoin premium for about 3 years now. I have held off on writing a review until this time because I wanted to make sure this wasn't a scam. I recently won an auction for an iPhone 15. And It arrived in the mail yesterday. It was very easy to claim with no hassle.

Not bad

Not bad but you can only obtain some discount on the sites they say and only sometimes gift cards but they finish really fast so you need to be quick and sometimes even if you are quick you can't get the gift card...

It's not worth it SCAM! DELITING REVIEWS THEY DONT LIKE!

It's not worth it. When you dont have coints all stuff in the market are too expensive but one you got the coints like magic there will be only stuff for 5$ in your market and all stuff requite you to use your money on top of that. It's basiclly scam.
Oh so when you write negative review because you are not satistied with an app that I have been using for years not my review get flag because I am trying to hurt the reputation. I belive this app is a scam and I have right to my opinoin as well as freedom to speach! #AMERICA! You flaging my review just shows what a JOKE company this is!!! SCAM Feel free to flag I will keep posting the same thing over and over. I believe there is multiple people with this opinoin but you guys are deliting the negavite reviews Yup that SCAM... I will also be reporting to BBB.

This review has been flagged and reported as it tries to harm our reputation.

While not all our users find something they love from our marketplace, and we are always working on improving our offerings, we are a completely legitimate app who simply reward our users for free for their steps with sweatcoins. The sweatcoins can then be used within the app to purchase offers, donate, or turn into crypto using our sister-app Sweat Wallet.

Update:

Hi Sima,

It's really disappointing to us to see that you have felt the need to update this review which could harm us as a company, but we really hope we can get to the bottom of why you're feeling this way...

Though we're happy to hear you've been with us for years, we're struggling to understand your choice to do so if you feel so negatively towards the app and seem to distrust it. We've also checked, and can't see any support tickets logged from this name, which is a shame as if you'd reached out to us, we're always more than happy to help!

That said, we do deeply regret that you feel so strongly here against our app and would just like to ensure that you're aware of the following...

1) Our marketplace has a whole host of offers which you can spend your hard earned sweatcoins on. If you haven't found anything you like just yet, we understand that can be a little frustrating. We'd love it if you could email us your feedback of what you'd like to see more of. What specific categories of reward are you interested in?

2) If you really see no value to our Sweatcoin marketplace, perhaps you'd like to look at our other rewards available in our sister-app, Sweat Wallet. Sweat Wallet allows you to earn $SWEAT token for your steps, which you can trade, sell or do what you wish with - that's pretty valuable to us! There are also a whole host of other offers there to choose from.

If you would like to provide us with any additional feedback which doesn't involve false accusations, then we're always open to hearing from our wonderful users.
