✓ Did not honour cancellationWay better has been charging my credit card since June 2023. Via email, I can I cancelled within the trial period. The refund was processed. I assumed everything was good, only to discover in December that my credit card has getting charged monthly. They refused to refund me because “ it is not within the seven days” So beware with cancellations.😔.Version: 15.0.2
✓ Do NOT WASTE your money on this!I wish there were zero stars to give! I am beyond frustrated with this app. I have had problems with games since the start of November. I have NUMEROUS emails to support full of back and forth screen shots to prove I hit my step goals because the app is so buggy and can’t keep steps and won’t even allow me to log in right now! I asked more than once for a refund of my yearly member $50 fee. They refused and gave me tokens to join another game—oh joy, more tokens to use on an app that doesn’t work! I waited three weeks for them to “fix the app” and used the tokens to try another game. I’m on the first week of the game and ALREADY having issues with the app not letting me log in!!! Ridiculous! I want a refund of my yearly fee that I paid in September and am not able to use through the year as the stupid app doesn’t even work! Huge ripoff!!!.Version: 3.14
✓ Good motivation!This app has been really great at motivating me. It has got me moving with the dog and baby now that the weathers nice. It syncs great with the health app on my phone so I’m needing to be more conscious of carrying my phone around with me to get my steps to count. I don’t really like how delayed the notifications are. Even when I get a notification and tap to open the app, it’s not there, but will show up 12 hours later..Version: 3.3
✓ Needs one small but significant improvementI love StepBet. The platform is pretty straightforward and easy to use. Just one issue that drives me crazy. You can’t delete your old/finished bets. So you have a few new bets on the go if you’re a member and right in the middle is an old one that finished days prior and you just have to wait for it to disappear on its own. Major annoyance. Would be 5 stars otherwise but I hate clutter!.Version: 3.22
✓ Started out well...Created my account, signed up for a game... and now, the app immediately crashes whenever I try to open it..Version: 3.1
✓ NEW APP USERS BEWARE!!!!!I wish I could give the Step bet app ZERO STARS because that is what it truly deserves! I have used the app for approximately 2 months and I have constantly seen other members as well as myself struggle with getting the app to even work properly causing a majority of people to become disqualified from challenges even though it was not their fault but step bet’s poorly updated app! Instead of valuing their customers they make poor excuses for their app never working properly! Ali James needs to find a new app to do these step challenges on because I really love them but the poor customer service and poor app quality really ruined the experience! StepBet has no problem taking everyone’s money but won’t put any of that money into improving and updating their app that is in fact causing the problem!!! 🤦🏻 StepBet you are losing customers by the minute!!! 😬.Version: 15.0.0
✓ Scam? Wrongly out $190, can’t find anyone to talk toWould give 0 stars if app would allow. I signed up and the program got me moving more, great! Then one night I worked hard to hit my goal by midnight and somehow it didn’t register. I have searched and can’t figure out who to talk to, how to get it fixed and I’m out a bunch of money because I was confident of (and succeeded at) following through on my goals so I signed up for the membership and three programs. Now I’m out $190. Because there was a bug in how my watch talked to my phone, or because it’s a scam, or both. Not sure how many others this has happened to?? It was not the first time the app didn’t easily synch to my watch, but the other times it was earlier in the evening. I am a runner, a triathloner and an honest person and am worried this company is taking advantage of people. I’m a busy mother of 3, who works full time, so even writing this post is pulling energy from places I don’t have it to spare. If magically the company gets back with me about this ‘hack/bug’ in the software gets resolved I’ll take down this review. Until then, feel I must warn people..Version: 4.0.0
✓ Good idea, bad executionIt’s a great idea, and it kept me accountable for the games I completed. However, and it’s a big however, they have a lot a glitches and their customer service is horrific. There are many issues with device and app connectivity, resulting in missing step goals and, ultimately, losing your money..Version: 10.0.0
✓ No points/payoutSo disappointed. The very first challenge I participate in and it has been well past the points/payout date and still nothing. Tried contacting customer service and no response..Version: 15.0.0
✓ Great app, but with one big flaw!I would like to premise this review by stating that I am really enjoying the app so far. It has gotten me up and walking in days when I’ve felt extra lazy, and not wanting to move from the couch. That being said, I have recently discovered one big flaw with their design that has been pretty disappointing, and that is this inability to change your step source mid game. I’ve been participating in a 6 week game, and was only on week 2 when I purchased a new Fitbit. Knowing I would be going on a camping trip soon, and won’t want to keep my phone on me to count steps, now seemed like the perfect time to make this purchase I’ve been wanting to make. Unfortunately, even after reaching out to support, I was told that there is absolutely NO way that I can start counting my steps from my Fitbit instead of my phone. I understand not wanting to provide people with the ability to change it at will, but it blows my mind that even a simple one time change isn’t possible. Now, I need to worry about keeping my phone on me at all times while I’m trying to enjoy the gee te at outdoors, and somehow keeping it charged in the middle of the woods, or else I’ll lose my $40 investment in this game. Very very disappointing..Version: 4.0.0
✓ DeceptiveI’ve completed 2 step bets so far and was happy with the basic idea of it as extra motivation to get my steps in. However, the fact that your payment turns into points and you can only get the points payout through PayPal is disheartening. And you don’t find out that the payment is turned into points until after you make the payment. And if you’re not a member, Step Bet takes 15% of the pot before players get paid out and if the group is large, with lots of winners, the payout is small. So you’re basically banking on others failing so you can make more money! And I got kicked off the app...a lot...trying to sync up my steps. I get y’all are in it to make money, but so was I...not just to make sure I didn’t lose $40..Version: 3.22
✓ Concept is good, implementation needs workI really like the concept of StepBet and have been using it for a while. More transparency would be great. The fee recently went up from 12% to 15% without notice, you’d only know it if you re-read the small print periodically. StepBet’s fee should be made clear to participants at the time they join a bet - especially if it’s going to keep changing. They could also add some valid reasons other than medical for withdrawal. I lost a bet because my phone was stolen (even though I had documentation) and my SO lost hers when her father passed away. Neither of us could get a refund which seems harsh. The app itself is stable but could be made more user friendly. There’s no way to mute or hide people in the feed. The game directory is hard to come across and if you open a game to see more details you can’t easily return to directory. It would also be cool to have some kind of buzz when you reach your step goals!.Version: 2.3.9
✓ UnreasonableI assumed the app would calculate reasonable goals based on previous steps. I didn’t realize until a week in that it was having me do an extra 2.5miles 4x per week and an extra 4miles 2x per week. There just wasn’t anywhere to pull those extra steps from. It also would take half an hour to update the step count so at the end of the day when I would try to make the count it would take a long time to see if I could stop pacing around the living room. Instead of motivating me to get moving (which it did for the first few days) I ended up staying up late and sleeping less to get all my steps in. I get the feeling that there’s something scammy about this app..Version: 10.0.0
✓ Not that motivationalI set up a private group with 4 people for 8 weeks. The main reason I don't like this app is that there is no weekly leaderboard, nor a way to tell who is still in the competition. It would be a lot better to know how close the others are to finishing their daily/weekly goals. It made the experience feel isolated and boring. I won't be doing challenges via this app again. Due to weather, no one was able to finish the challenge completely. The whole pot was forfeited as a result which seems very scammy to me. The player closest to getting the goal of the challenge should have received the money minus commissions..Version: 10.0.0
✓ Just ok.First game I did I enjoyed. I ran into issues with the app glitching and taking hours to update. This second game I joined the same thing happened resulting in me being disqualified. The customer support is not good, they respond quick but blamed the issue on apple and said basically oh well you’re disqualified even though I provided screenshot proof I got my steps. Won’t be joining any other game due on this platform to continued issues with the app lagging and glitching and failing to update and lack of support from the customer service team..Version: 15.0.0
✓ No flexibilityCareful about joining a game if your plans are subject to change in any way wether you can foresee it or not. There is absolutely no flexibility on getting a refund if for reasons out of your control you can no longer participate in a game unless it’s a medical emergency, which is apparently the only good reason to not be able to participate in a time consuming activity. Also don’t expect professionalism from any customer service agent as I was lied to and patronized when I reached out for help. I explicitly let them know I couldn’t participate in the game and didn’t know until after it started and that was why I was requesting a refund and the response I got was they couldn’t issue a refund but I could earn my money back by completing the game. The thing I specifically said I couldn’t do. And for a game I had already failed out of because, as I said, I couldn’t participate. And apparently it’s perfectly fine for them to lie to you because I wound up speaking to someone else hoping to find someone who’d treat me with a modicum of respect and they didn’t even acknowledge that I was lied to or treated the way I was. The customer service is a joke. Don’t use the app unless your ok with giving your money away for reasons outside of your control..Version: 6.0.0
✓ Seriously flawedThe design is deceitful. The colors for a completed active day and power day are very similar, at least on my phone. The “to do” part of the game display is extremely small and hard to notice if you just want a quick look at your game. The worst part? You get awarded for and active day even if you’ve met your active day goals. Instead of your circle staying gray until you hit your actual, needed power goal. It makes you think you’ve actually completed your week when you haven’t. Be extremely careful when you look at your games, because they will use this poor design against you. They’ll accuse you of not paying attention and refuse to refund you for their design flaw..Version: 2.9
✓ INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS BEWAREStepbet seems to like to keep this a secret, but all bets shown are in USD and you will be charged as such. In the event you require a refund, which they claim to offer in full should you choose not to participate within the first seven days, you may get ripped off because of the ever-changing exchange rate! My "full refund" was less than what I paid in the first place, making it not a full refund at all. Stepbet claims their hands are tied..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Love it!I checked sync from Apple Watch to STEPBET app daily. But for some reason 2 weeks ago, 3 days at the end of the week showed me with zero points at the very end. Of course I was disqualified from winning the bet. I was very sure that STEPS were synced daily and not sure what caused this glitch, but it appears to be an issue with the APP. When I contacted SUPPORT they were adamant that they could not do anything once I was disqualified (which I don’t believe) even though the glitch had to have been on their end. They offered no solution, but SORRY. I also asked to cash in on the on used portion of my membership since they evidently don’t work very well with customer satisfaction and they refused to give me any type of refund. I am done, I never missed a day of syncing and for there to be 3 days in a row, there is certainly and issue. Then I noticed 2 days after I complained to them, there is a bug fix update. I WILL NOT be using this APP any more..Version: 2.3.9
✓ Doesn’t seem to workThis app does not seem to be allowing me to log in through google or fb. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it just keeps buffering. Disappointing as I was excited to try this..Version: 3.4
✓ Fun concept but read the fine printI like the app; it delivers exactly what it promises. But there were two things I wish I had paid attention to before diving in: 1) they take 15% of the pot right off the top, so 15% of the people in your game have to fail before you even make 1 cent. So in terms of actual money earned you’re looking at..not much at all. 2) if you do make any money, they don’t just put it back on your credit card. You have to have pal pal and if you don’t you have to request they mail you a check- for which there’s a fee that’s close if not more than what you made in the game! So this really isn’t for people who respond to positive motivation (“if I workout I’ll make money!) but in actuality, it’s for people who respond to pain avoidance (“if I workout I won’t lose my 40$). It is effective if you’re in the latter category but not much if you’re in the former one..Version: 2.3.10
✓ Two weeks, no payment yetI love that this app has motivated me to walk more than I have in a long time, but I wanted to get paid out for my first StepBet my original buy and plus an extra six dollars. It’s been over two weeks and I haven’t received anything yet and whenever I click on the contact us button, it says in an email and I’ll ever get is an auto response that either they can’t find my account or that they’re extremely backed up. I want to participate in more challenges but not if I don’t see that I’m going to get the money back that I put it in the first place..Version: 15.0.0
✓ Not happy, must be a scam.So i started a “game” and payed the amount that was due to join. I started to realize the app had a different count of steps than my Apple Watch health. At first i though wasn’t updated so i waited and tried the next day. Well today my Apple Watch said i walked over 11,000 steps. I was excited because i hit my goal! I open the app to be disappointed when i saw i only walked just over 6,000 steps. I tried to reload, redownload, restated both my phone and Apple Watch. Nothing changed. So the next thing i could do was hit the “contact us” button. it went right to an email. I wrote the email explaining my situation. And i receive and email back, yet again excited bc this will hopefully get fixed. Well it was an auto email stating that i won’t get a response back for 3-5 days. Well guess what. That means i failed my week because according to the app i didn’t hit my goal. I’m extremely disappointed. And i will advise everyone that the app is a scam for money..Version: 5.0.0
✓ ScamThis app refused to count my steps and wrongly disqualified me twice. I contacted the app to get my money back because I completed all my steps and was basically stolen from, and I wasn't helped at all. This week, I was disqualified from a membership competition and assumed it was a glitch because two other competitors commented asking if anyone knew why they'd been disqualified. Upon contacting support, I was informed that my steps didn't "sync" even though the app clearly shows all my steps were completed. They are refusing to give me my money back. More than this, they take 25% of the pot. Even if you stay in the competitions and somehow don't get wrongfully kicked out, you make about a 5-8 dollar profit because the creators basically took all of the money. Absolute scam, headache, and waste of time. Save yourself the trouble..Version: 3.10
✓ Issues with Tracker*i wish i looked a these reviews prior to getting the app. * Please report them to the BBB and to Apple. Apple support has been lovely in reporting this scammy app. Don’t waste your money or time on this app. Their customer service team is horrible and this app is a scam to get money. Was in a challenge for 4 weeks. One night my apples watch was syncing with Apple health. This has never happened before and my Apple health was short by 185 steps. I contacted step her right away and all the screenshot to support my step count were not sufficient. After dealing with Apple health customer support they proved that it was not issued on part and emailed them this. I was not refunded and was offered to compete in another challenge. 4 weeks of stepping days gone- I was walking 8-10 miles daily. Be aware, if you have issues they will not refund you and ask you to compete in another challenge.Version: 15.0.0
✓ App is good; choose team wiselyI joined StepBet because I thought it would be a good way to join in with others for team support, motivation and/or fitness camaraderie. If that is what you’re seeking, find your team carefully or join with those you already know. I joined a team by myself. I post motivational messages regularly, like their comments and comment on their comments. I get very little interaction from them. There’s no connection at all going into week three. Some of them are posting about their pets vs. how they’re getting their fitness activity in. Initially, I thought I’d just keep doing these challenges, one after another after another, but I don’t think I will unless I have my own group join with me or if I see a group that is interacting as a real team. If you’re looking for help with motivation, you may not find it here. I can use my FitBit for my stats, so don’t need StepBet for that. Good luck with your fitness! You can do it!!.Version: 9.0.0
✓ Love StepBetI love the app and have won real $$ several times. But... the recent update has caused some issues. Crashes, weird text/button alignment so you can’t click things and glitches where the number of steps shows up differently on different screens. Hope the next update is more stable..Version: 3.1
✓ Great idea but App needs bug fixesI love the idea of StepBet. It gets me moving and makes me be more intentional with my activity during the day. The App however needs some work. I have experienced multiple instances of the app not syncing my steps when trying to log for the day. I’ll spend upwards of an hour refreshing, reinstalling and manually syncing to get steps logged. I was disqualified from a game on the LAST day due to this issue. Day one of a new game and I’ve already had the same problem. My first day is logged as a test day because the app wouldn’t sync. It’s incredibly frustrating and based on reviews, I’m not the only one having this problem. You’d think they’d update and fix this “bug”..Version: 3.22
✓ It is great until it isn’tIt is pretty cool app but just be sure that everything works out in your favor and you do not have an emergency or any type of bad luck that will result in you not making your steps, even by a few! I missed about 50 steps that would have taken two minutes to complete. I work at my Retail job til Midnight, if anyone knows when you work retail you cannot be seen charging your phone or using your phone. To not get written up, I could not charge it during my shift. I had the hope they would understand because it was such a small amount of steps. I got no consideration at all. They will not budge which is unfortunate. Not sure why they have referees “to make tough calls” it is more to show you the highlighted part of where you messed up and why you won’t be eligible to continue your game. I planned on buying a membership to participate in more games but I will go with another app..Version: 4.0.0
✓ Trouble Syncing w/Apple HealthI despise fitness trackers because I just think they’re hideous. So I use Apple Health to track my steps and am very diligent about keeping my phone on meat all times. Step Bet wasn’t accurately recording my steps so it looked like I wasn’t meeting my daily goals. Customer service is useless. They just copy and paste info from their FAQ section if you reach out to them. Obviously I did all that before I contacted them and I even included screenshots of the inaccuracies between the app and Apple Health. Then support asks for more screenshots. I’ve had to delete several other health and fitness apps I use just to get Step Bet to accurately record my steps. Now support is asking for the more of the same screenshots I’ve sent to them twice already. At this point I want a refund. It shouldn’t be this much of a hassle and I shouldn’t have to delete other apps for this to work..Version: 10.0.0
✓ Great until it's not.My fitness tracker broke, causing me to lose my game. Stepbet wouldn't refund my money even though I offered to show them my exchange receipt. I understood that was a rule before playing but $40 is still a lot to lose for something out of my control. Before this happened I enjoyed the game and did walk more. But I will never recommend this game and will not participate in any more of this developer's challenges..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Scam appSomehow this app managed to siphon money from me yet I wasn’t subscribed. What a scam!.Version: 10.0.0
✓ So called refsWhile I love the concept, they seem to care more about their creators care more to keep there share over a simple mistake. First time trying it out. On my second week, I forgot to upload my steps on the last day. I was disqualified and asked the “referee” to investigate. Sure the referee was able to see that I completed my steps but I was out of the refund period. Which I don’t understand because there’s still more weeks left. I’ve played multiple sports my life and even was a red part time for a short season. So I understand what keeping it fair means. Sorry but that I just very petty to keep my share of $40. Keep it. Looks like you need it more than I do..Version: 11.0.0
✓ Watch the stupid “rules”I use quotes around “rules” cause basically they have an inferior product that can’t automatically sync your steps. You have to open it constantly. If you forget for 3 days and it turns to the next week they disqualify you for basically not opening their stupid app that doesn’t always work anyways. There are better apps out their. These guys are just creating ways to take your bets. Player beware. People will claim to love it, but they will eventually get you on a technicality. The Devs can say whatever they want. 24 hours after Sunday isn’t hard to miss out on. They will still steal your money for not updating the app even if you get your steps in. Honestly it’s probably how that make their money. Loophole rules..Version: 15.0.0
✓ Great idea, horrible app.You know, I love the concept of this. I love actual stepbets and I’ve started walking a lot more because of them but this app is trash. I wish they had a website for stepbet because I would never use this app again. It is constantly freezing so you have to force close it and whenever I open it after it hasn’t been force closed I get a blank white screen. The developers have been working on a huge makeover of the app and it’s like once they started doing that the just ignored the app functionality. I thought maybe once the new update came out it would work better but it’s even worse now. If I didn’t have money in bets I would delete this app and never look back..Version: 2.4.3
✓ It’s slowly losing appeal....I really loved StepBet almost a year ago when I first started using it. It was fun and motivational. However, there are two problems I find with StepBet. 1)the goals get much too high after awhile to be able to complete and 2.) the payout continues to diminish. I’m not sure if the app isn’t very popular anymore or if StepBet is skimming off too much of a percentage or what. It used to be that I could get a payout $12 higher than what so put in. The last two games so entered, I almost didn’t earn anything at all honestly and when I did, I only received $2 or $3 more. :/ I’m not sure what has changed but it’s different now..Version: 2.9
✓ Scam since the owner changedTakes way to much time to get paid, no customers support and no drawng of an Apple watch in my group. It’s like that since the owner changed.Version: 15.0.2
✓ IT TOOK ALL MY MONEH FROM MY BANK ACCOUNTTHIS IS A SCAM , DONT PLAY.Version: 2.3.10
✓ Motivating but not upfront about money policyUpdate: they did end up refunding my account but I had to complain and ask for it back So I did it once and enjoyed the experience. It forces you to stay active. I planned on doing it again but then life happened and I forgot about it. I was clearing out my apps and saw StepBet so I went to go withdraw my money only to find it was no longer there. Your balance is gone after 12 months of inactivity! I had about $48 in it from my $40 deposit and $8 of winnings. All of it gone. Don’t let it happen to you. I will not be using the app again..Version: 4.0.0
✓ It’s not logging stepsI’ve tried.Version: 15.0.0
✓ RubbishHardly any games available unless you pay even more money to be a member, can only view one game but have to join up for the ‘free trail’ avoid.Version: 3.22
✓ They steal your moneyEven though you’re allowed to opt out during warm up week they give you no way to do so within the app. I emailed support and have not heard back. It especially leaves a bad taste in my mouth as somebody who works in software. Def intentional that they make it impossible to opt out even though they promote that you can get a refund for a challenge within a certain amount of time..Version: 15.0.2
✓ I couldn’t login on the 4 day of week 5This app looked good for first 5 week but then after that I was logged out of the app and couldn’t log back in. This is the worst betting playform i have ever seen. I strongly disagree using this app. Thank you for reading this review..Version: 11.0.0
✓ They’ll take your money even if you walk the stepsIt’s a great idea and is indeed motivating. However, I’ve lost my money one too many times even when I walk the required steps. This most recent that made me drop my membership and now I will be recommending people do not join happened when I’m the middle of a 6 week step bet I apparently didn’t open my app until Wednesday to sync up my steps from the week before. They all synced and were valid but because it was late in the week they didn’t qualify. There is no reason for this other than to take our money. The app doesn’t notify you to open; the first notification you get is “you lose.” It’s sad because I love the motivation and the concept is ingenious. The company and its policies ruin the whole thing. Subscription canceled. Done.Version: 11.0.0
✓ Can’t see step goals are unrealistic until too lateI was really unhappy with this app and experience. I joined and it seems like you can only set up step goals using your fitbit or other fitness tracker. My fitbit is new and after signing up for a game the app told me it didn’t have enough data to set my goals. I had to check every day to see if I finally had enough data. It doesn’t tell me how much was required so I just had to check every day. Once it did have enough data the goals were so unrealistic there was no way I could’ve met them and had any sort of life. I would have to walk an extra 5 miles just to do the “low” day. There was no way to change it. I’m so angry I wasted my time and $40 to join a step bet I could never have made it through..Version: 11.0.0
✓ Consistent sync issuesScroll the challenge comments and you will see that there are consistently sync issues with tracker and StepBet app. I personally have the Apple Watch. StepBet syncs from Apple Health, not your tracker or Activity App. In two instances (separate challenges), Health did not sync the correct steps from my watch/Activity app. Interestingly enough, another step app that I use synced the correct number of steps even though it’s connected to Health. That happened to me TWICE. While I understand some of the burden of the issue lies on Apple, I think StepBet should evaluate how they capture steps when there a numerous participants with sync issues no matter what device they’re using. I often see FitBit and Garmin users in the challenge comments complaining about sync issues as well. The first time the sync issue occurred, a StepBet rep said she knew it was a known issue because of the iOS update and updated the steps on their end accordingly. This second time I reached out (after have installing the update), a StepBet rep said too bad. 🤷♀️ Cool...thanks for the help. I would not recommend this app until StepBet rectifies syncing issues that are discussed in the challenge comments..Version: 8.0.0
✓ Best to dodge. Glitchy app.App requires you to endlessly re-login. The best you can do anyway is hope to win your stake back ever. App is glitchy so even if you do your steps you may get disqualified. Have deleted it. Better to do your steps and lay the same money on a horse or footie match..Version: 3.14
✓ Poor customer serviceProceed with caution. I have been trying for several weeks to get a refund on games that I cancelled within the allowed week period but they have now stopped responding to any emails..Version: 3.22
✓ Membership scamI started using Step bet when it was first unveiled. I have the first group t shirt hanging in my closet to prove it. I’m very disappointed I was continually charged a membership fee and there is no way to delete my payment information in the app. Basically I was charged $50 2 years in a row for a service I’m no longer using. Support was no help so I will be filing a dispute with my credit card company. I’ve used their customer support in the past and they’ve always been helpful. This is a big disappointment and they’ve lost a long time customer. Update: I did receive a refund because the developer reviewed this review. As a customer you still do not have the ability to remove your own CC information. My customer service experience was not pleasant on the matter and I will not remove my initial comments as requested..Version: 2.9
✓ Doesn’t take shelter in place into enough accountMy steps have drastically reduced due to the Pandemic. I live in a shelter in place city. I used to get 8,000 steps per workday, but now that I work from home and am tied to a computer for hours on end (far longer computer time than when I was at work), I can’t get as many steps. I waited awhile to join a new game. But my step count is way too high still. It’s obviously pulling from pre-pandemic data still. I want to get motivated to find the time to be active, but given the restrictions in place where I live, this app is still giving me unreasonable goals..Version: 3.22
✓ A lot of effort for little money backThis program feels like such a scam because of the little amount that you can win and the huge amount that they take from the pot. In my game they took 45% of the amount that all players lost. If they were to take 15% of the remaining pot, players would have gotten about $15 in additional winnings as opposed to $9.44 which is around what I got. The first week was a trial with no elimination, the second week until the six week was the real game. For the last five weeks of the game I took time from driving Uber to be able to meet my step goals. Yet on multiple days, I would end an hour early to meet my goals with StepBet. In an hour I averaged $20-$40 with Uber. In the time it takes me to do one or two rides I earn more than what I earn over the six week period. this should be like a step fitness membership not a bet. Realistically you get back less than two dollars for every week you complete. This app is better designed for those who have wanted to spare hours of time 5 to 6 days a week keeping in mind, they will likely make less than two dollars per week unless they pay for a nearly hundred dollar subscription to remove fees. I estimate you would have to play between 3 to 6 games to recoup your hundred dollars from the Subscription. Each game takes 4 to 6 weeks. To complete and you can do up to three at a time with the subscription..Version: 15.0.0
✓ Don’t bother!I have been using this app for almost a year. I really enjoyed it and raved about it to my friends. I’ve had two instances where there was a syncing problem and my steps were not recorded correctly. The first time it was a quick fix with a couple screen shots to verify I made my goal. The second time was a nightmare. I proved the goal was met through my Apple Watch app and apple health app however because step bet didn’t receive the correct information they disqualified me from the game after giving me the run around for an entire week. I jumped through all of their hoops sending countless screen shots, spending hours on the phone between them and apple, requesting official correspondence from apple saying that the steps are verified but just not syncing to their app and they took my money regardless. I will never trust my money in this app again. Fix your bugs and get your app to work correctly!.Version: 10.0.0
✓ Scammy businessConsider you win 4 StepBets and then you mess up and lose one. You win an average of $5 for each win. So you spend $40 and then you win $20 and then lose your $40. So after about 5 months of working hard, you lost $20 for one mistake. It just isn’t worth the risk. If you get sick, sprain your ankle, having a busy week taking finals for school, break your Fitbit, etc... you lose money. You cannot switch your device during a bet. It’s also based on an idea that you need 9,000 to 20,000 steps per day which isn’t accurate at all. It’s pseudoscience. A quick workout with 5,000 steps a couple days a week is better for the waist and the heart..Version: 10.0.0
