Walken is a Web3 walking app that gamifies daily physical activity (walking and running) and makes sticking to a healthier lifestyle easy and fun. Grab your CAThlete - an in-game character - and go for a walk together. The more steps you take, the faster your characters make it to the next level.
HealthKit is used to synchronize with Apple Health and Activity, so that Walken can import step count data and distance.

Interesting
I like the idea of being rewarded for physical exercise, but I guess the game algorithm didn’t match up with my expectation.
If you haven’t installed the app, let me give you a quick overview:
You generate a CATlete - you’re in-game character - and level it up (to a point) with the GEMs you receive for your physical activity. Your CATlete then battles other CATletes, and the winner receives WLKN, a tradable crypto token.
Here’s the (first) rub - you can’t access your winnings until you deposit WLKN tokens you’ve bought on an exchange. That, I didn’t mind - I’d rather spend money on a game than be inundated with ads.
But the thing that frustrates me the most about this app is the CATlete battles.
Your CATlete has three attributes - strength, stamina and speed - which are used, along with the number of steps you’ve done in the last 24 hours, to determine the battle winner. In my mind, those attributes would be multipliers for your steps, but that’s not the case. Whoever has the highest individual attribute most effective for that particular battles wins most of the time. I’ve lost battles where I’d done 20,000+ steps against someone who’d done less than 1,000, but because their attribute was superior (50 vs 40 for example) I would lose.
You can purchase in-game NFTs from other players in a marketplace that increase attributes, but before I’m going to spend any more money, I’d want a better understanding of how these battles actually work. But also, I’m not certain how to get those NFTs in the first place - there seem to be lootboxes for sale, but I can’t buy them.
Bottom line - I like the concept and I can see a lot of work has gone into it, but I feel there’s not enough to it, unless you like the pay-to-win model.
No longer opens
Really enjoyed the fun app as a way to measure my steps. The app stopped opening two weeks ago (iPhone 11). Not sure if my iPhone is no longer supported.
Account banned for 10 days now and counting
Be warned This game will ban you account Disabled for 10 days now for no reason given. I have paid for NFTs that i cant use. I have emailed them many times, one response asking me to confirm if my account is still banned, which they previously knew. Disgusting of them. Its my money and now i cant access, my account is ‘worth’ some $200. They are totally rude.
I joined this project very early and been a long term community member. I cant believe this is how they treat their ‘members’. I get my account banned for no reason given and now I have to write to their appeals to ask/beg for my account to be reopened. What reason am I supposed to state, when I am not even aware of reasons?
I just need walk away(punt intended) and cut my losses. I have purchased several NFTs which I now can access. My investment is now worthless. Sad $200 gone.
I give them zero stars.
Not working
After update (16/01/23) app doesn't open
Account suspended and no support
Used to love the game and purchased $100+ NTF. One day my account got suspected without reason. Sent email to support and no response at all! Avoid this Scam!
My account got suspected! No support response!
My account has been suspected for a week without reason. I have been playing it for 4 months and everything was good and I loved the app. I’ve sent emails to support/appeal team. No response at all! This is a scam app!
War crime flag as game item???
Cannot understand how you could use War crime flag as game item
That Country has killed so many people in different region in Asia
And yet never properly apologised for their actions
So many families in Asia has suffered and still remembers pain of their loved ones
Take that item down completely and address this issue on all your channels
You should be ashamed of such ignorance
