Cashstep is an app that makes you money as you walk!
Sounds too good to be true?
That’s because it is! 😀
I downloaded this app six months ago and at the time ten thousand steps was equal to one hundred coins. Once you reached five thousand coins you could cash out for £5. This meant that if I walked the maximum ten thousand steps daily, I’d be able to cash out in two months.
So have I cashed out £5?
Nope.
This is due partly to my inactive lifestyle and partly because the amount of coins needed to cash out five pounds doubled to ten thousand coins, just as I was getting close to £5. Then the price quadrupled to fifty thousand coins to cash out £5!
Are there any redeeming factors for this app?
Well yes – it’s quite a good motivator to increase the number of steps you do every day by gamifying walking and collecting all of the coins at the end of the day. If you reframe it from a way to make money, to a way to motivate yourself to increase your step count and maybe get a small bonus/prize at the end of it, then it could be worth it.
Conclusion
Overall, I wouldn’t recommend a cash-for-walking app for making money. It could be worth it just as a motivator to increase your steps and might be better with different apps. I’m currently testing other apps to see if any of those apps could be worth it – so come back soon for an update
