Updated
There are two separate versions of it: a Korean app and an English-language edition called CashWalk, run by a different company.
This page looks at what each version actually offers, what to look for in a similar app, and how a rewards site like PocketsFull compares. PocketsFull is a different kind of service: it pays for surveys and offers, not for steps.
What Cashwalk is
Cashwalk started as a Korean app run by Nudge Healthcare Inc. in Seoul, with its own site at cashwalk.com. It counts steps and gives points called 'cash' that members spend on mobile coupons for partner stores in South Korea, such as convenience stores, cafes, bakeries and restaurants.
A separate English-language edition, called CashWalk and run by CASHWALK LABS, INC. in Seattle, uses the same basic idea but with its own app, its own currency called 'coins' and its own rules. The two versions are not interchangeable: a step counted in one does not count in the other.
In both versions, the core idea is the same: open the app, let it count your steps, collect what it gives you for reaching step milestones, and redeem the balance later.

What to look for in a similar app
Step-counting apps vary in a few ways worth checking before you install one.
- Which region the app actually serves, since a coupon catalogue or gift card list is often tied to one country.
- Whether there is a daily cap on steps or points, which limits how much a given day of walking can add to your balance.
- How points or coins expire, and over what period, so a balance does not quietly disappear.
- Which platforms it supports: Android, iPhone or a smartwatch sync.
- Whether redemption is gift cards, coupons, or a transfer to a bank account, since this differs by app and by country.
- Whether the app mixes in extras such as referral invites, challenges or mini-games, which add ways to earn but also add rules to track.

How PocketsFull is different
PocketsFull does not count steps. Members earn by taking paid surveys from survey providers and by completing offers, which are tasks from partners such as trying an app or game or signing up for a service. Game offers on the Offers page let a member earn by installing or opening a game and reaching the steps that offer lists.
Not every survey fits every person, since survey providers look for specific profiles, so being screened out partway through happens to everyone from time to time. Keeping your profile complete and accurate helps you get matched with more surveys.
Some offers take time to confirm, between 7 and 30 days depending on the offer, because the partner checks completion before the reward is added. Joining and using PocketsFull is free, and there is never a deposit or a payment asked of members.
PocketsFull also has a separate free-games page with browser games that need no download and no sign-up. Those games are for fun and do not add rewards, unlike the game offers on the Offers page.
How PocketsFull pays
Rewards on PocketsFull are redeemed for gift cards, with the catalogue depending on your country, so members in different places see different local brands. PayPal and Litecoin are also listed on the redeem screen.
A gift card is sent to the email address on your account. Whichever option you pick, it is one of the choices shown on the redeem screen for your country.

Frequently asked questions
Is Cashwalk legit?
Cashwalk is a real step-counter app with two separate versions, a Korean app and an English-language edition, each run by a different company and each with its own published rules on points, expiry and redemption.
How does Cashwalk work?
The app counts your steps and credits points for reaching step milestones each day. The Korean app gives a treasure box per 100 steps up to a daily cap, and the English-language edition gives coins per 100 steps up to a daily cap stated differently on its website than in its App Store listing.
Is Cashwalk safe to use?
This page is not a safety verdict. What is published is that no deposit or stake is required to use either version, and that points or coins expire after a stated period if unused.
What does Cashwalk withdrawal look like?
In the Korean app, cash is spent on mobile coupons for partner stores, and a separate refund balance from certain challenges can be converted to money and paid out in Korean won. In the English-language edition, coins are redeemed for gift cards.
Are there apps like Cashwalk that pay a different way?
Rewards sites such as PocketsFull work differently: instead of counting steps, they pay for completing surveys and offers, with rewards redeemed for gift cards or through options such as PayPal and Litecoin.
