Evidation
Evidation, while praised for its health tracking and educational content, has seen a significant decline in user satisfaction due to reduced earning potential, new fees for payouts, and persistent technical issues with syncing and app stability, leading many long-term users to consider deleting it.
Evidation is a health and fitness app that rewards users for healthy activities and participation in surveys, offering insights and educational content. However, recent changes have significantly reduced the points earned for activities, introduced fees for PayPal transfers, and led to widespread complaints about syncing issues and app stability.

Who it's for
Evidation is for individuals who are already tracking their health and fitness and want to earn small, infrequent rewards for their efforts and participation in health-related surveys R10R54. It is suitable for those who value health insights and educational content R41. It is not for users expecting quick or substantial monetary rewards , or those who are easily frustrated by technical issues like syncing problems and unresponsive customer support R25R67.
Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, focusing on the reduction of points, new fees, and technical issues. While there are some positive reviews, they are fewer and often from users who acknowledge the slow earning but still find value. The lifetime rating of 4.58 suggests a positive history, but the recent sentiment indicates a significant decline in user satisfaction.

- [R12] Good app: This app is wonderful with keeping track of your day-to-day life and health issues. You can also earn money on here if you reach the goal at the top and cash out. I’ve cashed out at least four times since downloading the app two years ago.
- [R20] My health: I live the insights that this apps gives me about my health! Very educational!
- [R41] Healthy Technology!: Evidation Health Application is #-1 in my Life as it checks, monitors, and reminds me to do everything that affects, and keeps me on Track for a Healthy Life, and a brighter Future. It also alerts me for my daily routine notifications that keeps me focused on staying Healthy. I truly appreciate this Application. Thank You 😊
- [R46] Positive reinforcement: Track your daily stress levels, sleep, and mood. Add your steps. Read and learn tips to stay healthier and make better choices. Earn points. Cash them in for prizes. Honestly, I’m enjoying this app and even though I consider myself pretty well informed, I learn new things. Try recipes. I like being able to see what I’ve accomplices and my trends over time.
- [R4] Excellent opportunities: I enjoy doing surveys for Evidation because they’re easy to do I get points. I have done physical surveys for them as well which helps with research their so much fun and you get the support you need if you have any questions.
- [R6] I enjoyed Evidation: I like Evidation app. It’s really fun get rewards, points and studies
- [R10] Straightforward + Legit = Loads of Fun: No gimmicks here. Go about your regular day and get your points. Every once in a while they’ll have short short surveys & Earn even more points. What more can you want? - Highly recommend
- [R11] Slow on earning points but worth it: I’ve never encountered issues with the website. It offers some fascinating surveys and valuable articles you can explore and take away.
- [R22] one of the best apps: Wow the app is amazing it pays you just for being healthy. I have put my Money into my PayPal account and can now spend it on anything i choose. Well let’s me get back to work on my next payout. 😊😊😊😊
- [R54] Great rewards: I have been using this app for years! I collect points with my Apple Watch and My Fitness Pal & sometimes take surveys & get money or giftcards in return. Simple and easy & data harvested is used for research. Love the cause and doesn’t take me time unless I want it to.
- [R114] Trustworthy but very low payouts: The app functions fine and this company is trustworthy since I’ve had several payouts from them throughout the years. I used to make about 1.5 payouts per year but they’ve been reducing point earning more and more every year to the point that I don’t even make 1 payout per year. I leave it in because it’s trustworthy and the effort is minimal but if I find somethi
- [R1] No longer worthwhile: I’ve had this app for 7 yrs and am now deleting. They have removed 80% of the earning capabilities and removed any reward for many activities altogether. This used to be an app where if you worked hard then small rewards were obtainable. Now they even started charging 10% to transfer your reward to your account of PayPal. There are other, much better sites. Evidation destroye
- [R14] Points are pointless: This app use to be pretty decent, but they changed the point system and now takes 6 months to make 10 bucks for payout. The incentive was the points to get walking and moving now they give a fraction of the points you use to get.
- [R24] Used to be better: It was better when you received points for being active. That was the reason I joined.
- [R36] Way less rewarding: I wish the point system was like it used to be. The developers have greatly reduced the ability to accumulate points. These days, I continuously wonder if it’s still worth having on my device.
- [R28] Was better before: I loved the app previously but with the new updates I went from cashing out quarterly to now it takes about 8-12 months just to cash out once. They also removed the free PayPal option and charge $1; which since you only get $10, is a 10% cut unless you want a gift card to something
- [R38] Takes patience but worth some extra dollars: The points take months to add up but it’s an easy way to get a few extra bucks. They used to just let you cash it out for $10 straight to your PayPal but now they charge a fee to do that which is really stupid. So I just did a gift card this last time.
- [R40] Used to be a great app: This was a great app for earning health rewards. I really liked it. Sadly they like every other company… changed their system and stopped offering rewards for many activities and now charge a fee for you to transfer the earnings to PayPal. I used to recommend it and now I will not. It’s too bad they changed.
- [R8] App connections: Since Fitbit went to Goggle, I don’t get credit for steps, etc . I have tried to connect my Goggle email but can’t get it to connect.
- [R15] Ready to delete AGAIN: Not sure how to get to the point where I can cash out. It says I have 2000 steps for the week when I spent all day yesterday at a theme park where my watch clocked 6.2 miles not seeing how you can reach 10000 points when activity allows for only a few points a day
- [R17] Can’t connect: It won’t let me connect my EHR still. I’m still getting an error message
- [R25] Won’t sync any more: The app stopping syncing with apple health and support was no help.
- [R61] Tech support basically nonexistent: I have used this app for many years and recent changes mean I don’t earn as many points as before. I was okay with this, as I’m very active and earn points daily regardless, but after contacting support about fixing a survey issue, and uninstalling and reinstalling the app per their advice, I’ve been unable to log back in. Support is very uninterested in helping
- [R67] Horrible customer service: I referred my mom to this app. Her account got hacked and now dealing with customer service via email is horrible. They have no customer service phone number. I am dealing with Brianna. She will respond if you catch her at the right time. This has been going on for over a month now. Ridiculous! I would not refer anyone else due to this.
- [R71] Contact: Very hard to get in contact with anyone there.
- [R73] Help: I keep getting error codes trying to sign in and I can’t contact anyone
- [R34] App decent. Locks once a week: App works. The weekly check in (the one with the slider at top) locks the app. Clicking done does nothing.
- [R44] Stuck on loading screen: Stuck on loading screen and app on open after latest update
- [R77] Does not open for over a month now: Can’t open the app
- [R78] Deceiving.: After a month two the app crashes and it won’t open.
- [R18] Closed account: Account got de activated but when I try to reactivate says I have no cards
- [R23] Request: It’s not easy to reactivate the account after it’s been a long while when you should be given a special automatic option to link all previous accounts and be able to delete previous accounts or before deleting previous accounts should be able to transfer any and all points into one primary account and deactivate and delete the others without a problem. Problem solved.
- [R9] Insight: Great information to learn
- [R16] Love: Helps me love myself more! I have more going for me than I think sometimes. This app keeps me grounded and motivated.
- [R19] Great App: This is a great resource to use and keep track of goals !!
- [R49] Points take forever: The app used to reward far more points for daily activities- now it takes daily usage for almost a year before earning a $20 gift card
- [R52] Gone way downhill: I used to be able to earn enough points for a redemption every 2-4 months depending how often I was logging in for surveys/how many wee being offered, my activity level, etc. it now takes over 9 months with nearly daily log ins. Not worth it for a measly $10.
- [R51] Used to be great: I’m a little disgruntled now that they’re charging a fee to transfer finds. This game always been a thing. I accepted the fact it takes forever to earn enough points but now they’re charging a transfer fee I find it hard to recommend.
- [R27] No longer getting points for steps: I have been using this app for over 6 years but it has stopped recording my steps. I also have the latest version of the app.
