    I've used Macadam for the last 12 months. It's sometimes nice to "gamify" the dog walks I'm on and collect coins/check into locations. 

    It does seem that the app wants you to play the free games/do the surveys etc. more than "walk" and that's understandable, I suppose.

    Got 45,000 points, I think I could get a monetary pay-out now but have been lazy and not done it...

    I found lots of games at first on macadam but now there is hardly any new games so it's just the walking that gets the points and it takes a lot longer

    Resurrecting an old thread I know..........but after the biscuit dog walking app now charging a monthly subscription to use it and the free version taking forever to reach cash out, I have put macadam on my phone.

    Will take a while for me to get my head round it and remember to upload walks at end of the day but any tips would be much appreciated. Is there a limit to how many steps you can be credited for in a day?

    Actually macadam has improved. Got some new games and got my crowns up to silver so better coin rewards and now they pay over the 20k steps with more bonus. Rewarded play however which is just games has gone really crap and threshold far too high no new games and will be deleting very shortly.
    Tried a few other walking apps and they are awful so winwalk and macadam are best of not so great bunch
