Paid to walk apps

Hi,
I have recently started a new job where I walk anywhere between 12,000-30,000 steps a day. I’ve seen apps that ‘pay’ you to walk. Are any of these apps any good or ideally link to your Fitbit? I’m not aiming to make a fortune from them but if there is a way of getting a small reward for something I do regardless I may as well take advantage?!
thank you!

I do sweatcoins but the only financial incentive is £1000 and that will take me about 5 years to get, there are other incentives from time to time. The other one I use is Wheathly but that requires lots of videos and pressing things to turn the steps in to coins. I expect £10 a month from that but requires about 30 mins on the app.
would be interested in people’s experience of others but I am get to find any decent ones.0 -
I tried winwalk but it wasn't picking up all steps compared to other fitness apps. Also the max points is on 10k steps & will take about 8 months to get a £10 voucher which for some reason they're all out of stock (but they're electronically generated & available to win on their lottery).
I gave up on it after a few days.

I did Sweatcoins for about 2 years but gave up after that as most of my outdoor steps were not recognised, it ate a lot of the battery on my phone and it would take forever to get enough steps to qualify for any of the rewards. I would avoid.1
