=======================
🔸 I keep seeing the "Moonwalking" message a few minutes after I start my walk, why is that?
🔸 I'm seeing super straight lines in my route, and I seem to be earning less GST as a result, why is this happening?
✅ It should be noted that the app requires three basic data points to properly calculate your GST earnings:
- Stable Internet connection
- Clear GPS reception
- Readable human movement
When any of these three data points are lost, the Player may see a "Moonwalking" message on their screen.
The most common cause of Moonwalking is GPS loss and loss of readable human movement. Users of older phone models may also get a "Moonwalking" status a few seconds after beginning each run, though the status usually goes away after a few more seconds.
When you get a "Moonwalking" status, try the steps below:
- Move outdoors where there's good GPS reception. Moving indoors will most likely be considered moonwalking (moonwalking will lead to ZERO GST earnings).
- Ensure that you have readable human movement. Do not put your phone in a purse, a loose pocket, behind you inside a backpack, etc. which may result in the app not reading your movement properly.
- Ensure that you are not using a rooted/jailbroken device and/or altered OS. STEPN will constantly show "moonwalking" on such devices. To resolve this, you will need to use a device that is not rooted/jailbroken/doesn't have an altered OS.
if none of the above helps, you may also try the following troubleshooting steps:
- Close and reopened the STEPN app.
- Shut down and reboot your phone/mobile device.
- Change your location when running.
