I downloaded this to try with the idea it would be similar to Sweatcoin where I get sweatcoins for walking which can be redeemed on real-life rewards. In Jaywalk, you earn jaycoin but they expire in 24 hours (however after using it for a few days, my jaycoin still seem to be there so now I am wondering).
There are currently no offers to use in Australia, so everything I earn can’t be spent on anything and will disappear before any local merchants join. I have invited some friends and merchants I found emails for but so far but I haven't had many sign up yet. I got a notification a friend joined but I wasn't able to find a way to follow him. I It would be cool if you could connect your Twitter and see if any of your followers are already on there.
At the moment, everything on my feed is over 14,000 km away but I am trying to change that by posting some of my own material.
I think this app would be better if your jaycoins didn’t expire, there were a lot more places to get rewards, and it was easier to connect to friends on there.
The app is a great idea to make the lazy and sedentry people leave the room and instead of ordering food to their desk go out for a walk and make some bucks as an extra source of mini pocket money.
You can also partner with merchants to add extra points when a user buys food from counter instead of delivery.
All the very best.
The data you want from users for personalized marketing is so valuable you can even give them an incentive for taking part - called miles. It's basically Foursquare wrapped in a health product and constant geo-tracking. No, thanks.
