Devices
Currently, the Earn it app is only compatible with iPhones. Other iOS devices, including iPads, are not supported at this time.
No, you don’t need an Apple Watch to use Earn It, but we recommend it. An Apple Watch offers more ways to track your health and makes reaching your daily targets – and earning Creds – quicker and easier. If you don’t have one, you can get an Apple Watch through options like interest-free financing, using earned Creds, or purchasing outright. Please contact our support team for more information.
Yes, it only possible to set up an Apple Watch with an iPhone. The watch must be paired with an iPhone to link an Apple ID.
Your activity is tracked offline and syncs with the app when you reconnect. However, you will need an internet connection to make purchases, join workouts, or participate in challenges.
Currently, you can track your activity with an Apple Watch and any other wearable that links to your Apple Health Kit. We’re also working on full integration with Strava, which will enable tracking a wide range of activities from their supported devices. Please contact our support team for more information.
All Apple Watches are compatible with Earn It. While older models may have limited functionality and monitoring features, having any Apple Watch enhances your experience. All current Apple Watches are available through the Earn It store.
Creds
In the Earn It app, your Creds Clock is divided into four segments: Wellness, Move, Habits, and Exercise. You can view your daily, weekly, and monthly Creds totals at a glance. For detailed stats, past data, and progress maps, tap the ‘Activity’ section.
Head to your 'Track' page and you'll find a 'Check In' button. Just make sure you have location services switched on!
You will only redeem 25% of your monthly Creds allowance per category. So, if you’re looking to maximise your earning potential, it’s important to ensure you’re keeping track of all categories. Most of us are good in one or a few areas, but there may be one section that needs focus. Start small and build up to make the most of a healthy, balanced life.
Absolutely! You’ve got plenty of time. Your earned Creds are valid for two years, so there’s ample opportunity to save up for some of our larger rewards.
You can earn Creds through a variety of activities within the app, such as:
Feed: Read articles and watch videos from your personalised Feed.
Checking In: Earn Creds by checking into your office.
Joining Challenges: Participate in challenges and earn Creds by successfully completing them.
The more you engage, the more Creds you’ll rack up!
The Apple Watch tracks more activity than your iPhone, including heart rate and time spent outdoors, offering even more ways to earn Creds as you stay active. You’ll rack up Creds effortlessly, without even realising it!
Yes, you can! Every month, you can earn a certain amount of Creds per category which are made up of the daily Creds goal per category and the number of days in the month. The daily targets are being adjusted according to the previous progress, so if you exceed your daily goals in the first half of the month, you have to do less in the second half, and vice versa.
If you did not reach your daily Creds goals on some days, you can still make up for that within the same month by overachieving your initial Creds target. If, for example, your daily Creds target was 10,000 per day, and you did nothing for the first 15 days of the month, day 16's Creds target would be 20,000 Creds.
We allow users to over-achieve each day by up to double the value of the daily Creds target (200% up until the monthly target has been reached.
No, you must earn all of your monthly Creds within that month. Any Creds that haven't been unlocked will not carry over to the following month.
You can earn Creds in four main ways:
All indicated in the Creds Clock in the Target tab.
Move
You’ll earn Creds for your daily steps, staircases climbed and distance-related challenges.
Wellness
From yoga and Pilates to mindful meditations and more, you'll earn Creds if you watch or listen to any Wellness content in your Earn It app. We will shortly be adding breath exercises, time outdoors and lots of other ways to ‘Earn’ your wellbeing target.
Exercise
You’ll earn Creds for any time you exercise and active calories burned as logged via your Apple Watch or watching video workouts in your Earn It app. Most forms of exercise that raise your heart rate above a brisk walk will be recorded in your exercise target.
Habits
Checking in at your office location or reading an article in your Earn It app can earn you Creds. We will soon be releasing ‘Check-in’ to any health or fitness location in the UK, so gyms, cricket clubs, golf courses etc will shortly ‘earn’ you Creds and go towards your habits target.
In fact, everything you do in your Earn It app could earn you Creds – you could refer a friend, check into the office, have a healthy streak for three days, and so much more. We all want you to meet your target and unlock the benefits.We also have 100s of giveaways every month, just for fun; it could be your birthday, an anniversary, or you’ve hit a major goal.

Technical
Do you have a question or feedback for us? We'd love to hear from you! Please go to your profile in the top left corner of the app and navigate to the settings on the top right. There, you can click "Chat now" to start a chat or "Contact us" to fill out a contact form. If you'd like to email us, please do so at support@vouearnit.com. We are happy to help and will get back to you as soon as possible.

While the Earn It app works internationally, there are some limitations related to HealthKit data updates. When your phone is in a data roaming state, iOS restricts background tasks that update the HealthKit data (step count, exercises) on the Earn It app. To prevent any potential loss of data, here's what you need to know:
Background Updates: The app won't receive HealthKit data updates while running in the background if your device is roaming. This also applies if "Background App Refresh" is disabled in your iOS settings.
Data Retention: Apple stores HealthKit data for up to 42 days on your device. To avoid data loss, connect to a Wi-Fi network or a non-roaming mobile network within this time frame.
To summarise, while the Earn It app does function abroad, ensure you connect to Wi-Fi periodically to maintain seamless HealthKit data syncing.
If your device runs out of battery, it will not track any health or activity data, and also not sync it within the Earn It app. To prevent this, make sure your devices are always charged or carry a portable charger with you.
If you think you're missing some valuable activity from your 'Creds Clock', click on your profile icon in the top left-hand corner of the app and click on 'Sync Health Data'. This should pull any missing data from your HealthKit into the app.
If this doesn't resolve the issue, please remove Earn It's access to your Health data in the settings of your iPhone. Open your iPhone settings, navigate to 'Health', and click on "Data Access & Devices". Once this is done, please close the Earn It app, restart it, and reconnect your HealthKit data in the app.
Please also make sure that "Background App Refresh" is turned on in your iOS settings. If this is disabled, it will prevent the Earn It app from syncing HealthKit data. Alternatively, you can open the 'Health' app, which will also automatically pull all HealthKit data into the Earn It app.
In case of any further troubles, please get in touch with our Customer Support team who are happy to find a solution for you.

Challenges
Challenges are a fantastic way to push yourself and have fun while earning thoseCreds. Each challenge has a goal that requires you to hit a specific number of steps or climb a certain amount of flights within a set timeframe— be it a week, a month, or something else.
Individual challenges require you to hit a challenge goal by yourself, while company challenges keep things social; all employees of your company can join the challenge and everyone's activity contributes to reaching the combined company goal.
