Winwalk review: apps like it and how they compare

What Winwalk is

Winwalk is run by Gala MIX Inc, a company registered in South Korea. The app counts steps with the phone's built-in pedometer and awards one coin for every 100 steps, up to a daily cap of 100 coins for 10,000 steps.

Beyond walking, the Terms of Service mention other ways to add coins: completing surveys, playing mobile games, doing other listed activities, and referral links, though details on these are not given on the public pages.

Coins are redeemed for gift cards only. The listings name brands such as Amazon, Walmart and Google Play among others, and the terms are explicit that coins and rewards cannot be exchanged, reimbursed or returned for cash.

Winwalk is available on Android through Google Play, with steps syncing through Google Fit, and on iOS through the App Store, where it requires iOS 16.4 or later and syncs with Apple Health. The App Store listing says the app is offered in select countries, but no country list is published.

What to look for in a similar app

If you are comparing walking or step-counting apps to Winwalk, a few questions are worth checking before you rely on one.

• Whether the reward is gift cards only, or whether cash-like options are offered.
• How many steps or how much activity is needed before coins add up to something redeemable.
• Whether a minimum coin balance is required before the first redemption, and how that threshold is described.
• Which countries the app actually works in, since many step-counting apps limit redemption to where their partner merchants operate.
• Whether the app needs location tracking or just a built-in pedometer, since that affects battery use and privacy.
• What happens to an inactive account, since some apps forfeit unused coins after a set period.

Winwalk compared with PocketsFull

Winwalk and PocketsFull reward different kinds of activity, so the table below lines up what each one actually offers.

How PocketsFull is different

PocketsFull is not a step-counting app. It is an online rewards site where members take paid surveys and complete offers, including many game and app offers, and build up a balance they can redeem for rewards.

Surveys are market-research questionnaires from outside providers. A completed survey adds its reward to the balance, but not every survey fits every person, so being screened out partway through happens to everyone at some point. Keeping a profile complete and accurate helps with being matched to more surveys.

Offers are tasks from partners, such as trying an app or a game and reaching the steps the offer lists, or signing up for a service. Game offers on the Offers page work the same way: install or open the game and reach the listed steps. Some offers take between 7 and 30 days to confirm, since the partner checks the activity before the reward is credited.

Joining PocketsFull is free and no deposit is ever asked for. PocketsFull also runs a separate free-games page with browser games that need no download or sign-up, but those are for fun and do not pay rewards, unlike the paid game offers on the Offers page.

How PocketsFull pays out

PocketsFull rewards can be redeemed for gift cards, with the catalogue depending on the member's country, so the options shown below are local to where you are.

PayPal and Litecoin are also listed on the redeem screen alongside the local gift card choices.

Winwalk pays in gift cards only, while PocketsFull's own payout options are shown in the box below based on your country.
