Frequently asked questions
Answers about devices, cost, privacy, and how challenges and rewards work in Walkaching.
Is Walkaching free to use?
Yes. Coins are earned in-app (a welcome bonus, achievements, and challenge winnings) and there's currently no way to buy coins with real money, so joining and playing doesn't cost anything.
What devices does it work with?
Walkaching is available on Android through Google Play, and the iPhone version is waiting for App Store review. It syncs your step count in the background from Health Connect on Android and Apple Health on iPhone.
How does step tracking work?
Once you connect your activity, Walkaching reads your step count from Health Connect (Android) or Apple Health (iPhone) automatically — no manual logging. Automated checks also run on incoming data to catch unrealistic step patterns and keep challenges fair.
Can I create a private challenge?
Yes — you can join open public challenges or create an invite-only group for friends, family, or coworkers.
What are coins, and can I cash them out?
Coins are Walkaching's in-app currency, earned through challenges, bonuses, and achievements. Cash-out and redemption for real-world value are planned for a future release, subject to availability and local requirements — coins currently have no cash value. See Rewards for more.
When does Walkaching launch?
We don't have a fixed date yet. Join the early access list from the homepage to be notified as soon as it does.
