Bitwalking

Sounds interesting, i will look into it. I do walk a lot, but i wonder if it will be worth it if it's only a tiny bit of money. It is extra money all the same i suppose.

Using my phone, I averaged around 6500 steps per day, using my Fitbit it's around 12,000. The Bounts payout level is 7000 steps per day, so pretty easy to get to if you're fairly active.

Can I ask what app you use?

Bounts is the name of the app

Sorry I meant what app do you link to Bounts to collect points? I am currently using Moves and I don't find it very good at all.

Ah sorry I see. I used to use Moves and it was pretty rubbish, but got a Fitbit for Christmas so am now using that app, which is a lot more reliable

Thanks and yes Moves is pretty terrible. It doesn't work in the background for me and also deletes steps in front of my eyes! Even when I have had the app on it doesn't work properly as when I have been on a 20 min walk it only records for 5-6 mins.

I've seen it delete steps too. Really annoying that it's one of the only supported apps. There's another steps app called Pacer that I used to use that works a bit better but it's not compatible with Bounts :mad:

FitBit


the fitbit is a wearable "gadget" that measures your steps, slepp and calorie usage amongst other things.

There are cheaper alternatives, such as the MiBand that also connect to smartphone apps.

The fitbit has more "connectability" as would probably be a better option for the step counting sites like Bounts (or BitWalking when it starts)

But how will it work if i've only got a landline.
I'm going to need a long piece of cable to reach from the house to all the way down the road.
