It works by tracking daily steps in the app and converting them into Wards, with extra ways to earn through challenges, shopping, surveys, and referrals.
This page looks at what WeWard actually offers, what to look for in similar apps, and how PocketsFull compares as a different kind of rewards site.
What WeWard is
WeWard is a walking app. Steps are validated inside the app each day and converted into Wards, a points currency with no monetary value outside the app. Wards can be redeemed for bank transfers, PayPal or Venmo transfers, gift cards and discount vouchers from partner brands, or donations to charities.
Beyond steps, the app offers other ways to add Wards: completing challenges and leveling up, shopping through its Top Deals page with partner brands, taking surveys from partner research institutes, trying games and app offers in an 'Earn Bonus Wards' section, and referring friends. An optional paid Premium status, or a free version unlocked after collecting enough qualifying Wards, doubles the Wards earned from walking.
WeWard is run by WEWARD, a French company, and is available as an app for Android and iOS. The website states a reach of walkers across a number of countries, though no full country list is published, and rewards and the Wards needed for them vary by country.

What to look for in a similar app
Step-counting and rewards apps vary a lot in how they pay and how long that takes, so a few points are worth checking before relying on one.
- How rewards are earned: steps alone, or also surveys, offers, shopping, and referrals.
- Which payout methods are offered in your country, since catalogs and options often differ by location.
- How long a reward or payout request takes to process, and whether it can be canceled once sent.
- Whether there is a minimum amount of activity or points needed before you can request a reward.
- What age and identity requirements apply, especially if money transfers are involved.
- Whether points have value only inside the app or can be converted to cash or gift cards.
WeWard compared with PocketsFull

How PocketsFull is different
PocketsFull is not a walking app and does not count steps. It is an online rewards site where members complete paid surveys and offers, including game and app offers, and redeem the rewards they earn for gift cards. Joining is free and no deposit is ever asked for.
Where WeWard converts physical activity into points, PocketsFull converts completed surveys and offers into a balance that can be redeemed. Not every survey fits every person, since survey providers look for specific profiles, so being screened out before the end happens to everyone from time to time. Offers show their own steps and reward, and some take time to confirm since the partner checks completion first.
PocketsFull also has a separate section of free browser games with no download and no sign-up, but those are for fun and do not pay rewards. PocketsFull has an Android app on Google Play, and the website also works in a phone browser.
How PocketsFull pays out
Rewards earned on PocketsFull are redeemed for gift cards, with the catalog depending on the member's country, so members see local brands. PayPal and Litecoin are also listed on the redeem screen.
