Must-Have App for Living in Korea- Cashwalk: Earn Money from Walking!

Talking about top essential apps for living in South Korea, the popular applications that may pop up in your mind are Kakaotalk, Naver Map or KakaoMap for directions, Gmarket or 11st for shoppping, and also some food delivery applications like Yogiyo and Baemin. Today, I am going to introduce you guys to a local Korea application- Cashwalk.

About Cashwalk

Cashwalk is a free Korean paid to walk application in which you can earn money just from walking. CashWalk is designed to help users to achieve fitness goals in the easiest and the most fun way possible. The application supports both Android and iOS operating systems. Cashwalk features tools such as free step counter, active time tracker and weekly activity tracker app that help you to achieve a healthy lifestyle.

The application is only available in Korean for the time being. But trust me, you don’t have to master any Korean to use the application.

After installing, just simply open the application and start walking! It is as easy as ABC right?

Cashwalk rewards users 1 coin per 100 steps. The maximum amount of coins you can earn per day is 100 coins which is equal to 10000 steps.

Collect the coins from your lock screen by clicking on the treasure box.

What Can You Do with Coins?
