This app pays you to walk every day—top users can earn up to $1,000 a year: Here's what to knowIn 2019, Yves Benchimol, an engineer at the time, had an idea to help people put down their phones and start moving.
"Thanks to Apple Health and Google Fit, we have access to the average number of steps people before downloading the app. And we are trying to increase this number," Benchimol says.WeWard users earn digital points called"wards" by walking, even if their phone is in their pockets while doing it as long as WeWard is connected to their go-to fitness app. This allows users to enjoy a screen-free walk and still rack up points.
"Top users can earn $1,000 per year," by completing challenges and buying products through the app's partners, Benchimol says. Users can compete with friends and develop a community of walkers in the neighborhood who also track their steps on WeWard. And in an effort to get people even more engaged, the app offers treasure-hunt like challenges."Pokemon Go is one of our inspirations," Benchimol says.
