I came across an app last night while surfing the net called Sweatcoin. Read a few reviews, like most things have some negative but also some positive. The app runs in the background and counts your steps taken using google's location tracking instead of being able to just shake the phone. The more steps you take in a day the more Sweatcoin you earn. 

Apparently, this summer they are launching their own SWEAT crypto coin and will match your Sweatcoin with their own crypto coin when they launch. Thought why not give it a go, doesn't take up any extra time from me, just sign up, launch the app and let it run in the background tracking my steps per day.

It's hard with so many different apps out there for people just wanting to dip their toes into Cryptocurrency and not spend a ton of money, to know which apps or sites are legit, which are worth your time, and which are just a waste of time for what you earn.

I don't know how they earn money though. That throws me a bit as there doesn't seem to be any ads it asks you to watch. If you go into the app there are ways of earning additional sweatcoins, which include apps. However, you can still earn a decent amount just from the steps if you do a lot of walking around throughout the day. Maybe it's also collecting information about your habits and area? 

They do also have a premium plan so I suppose if there are enough people paying for the premium plan it helps them to make money.

It gets kind of frustrating looking for inexpensive ways to get your feet wet when you are new to cryptocurrency. There are just so many scams and time-wasters out there. Hard to find real reviews as well. Or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places. Either way, it's been an interesting journey so far, even though it has just begun.

I will give Sweatcoin a try and see how it goes. If anyone is interested the link I have put into this post is a referral link.

Does anyone out there have any experience with the Sweatcoin app? Looking for both positive or negative experiences.
