RAR joins with ResQWalk

What is ResQwalk?

ResQwalk is a smartphone mobile app that enables animal lovers to raise money for animal rescues and shelters every time they go for a walk (or run, or bike ride.)

Throughout the year, ResQWalk announces a ResQpool of cash and other helpful resources that have been provided by generous corporate sponsors. To help earn money for your favorite organization, simply download the app, select your favorite ResQwalk partner to support and press "Start."

Every quarter, the ResQpool is proportionally distributed to the ResQwalk partners based on miles walked on their behalf.

 

What else does ResQwalk do?

They also mix it up with monthly promotions that will enable you to earn additional resources for animals in need (like food, toys and treats). So keep your walking shoes ready!

Other frequently asked questions:

Does it cost anything to ResQwalk?

No! ResQwalk is free for users and RAR.

Is ResQwalk limited to walking?

No. You can participate in any distance-related activity (walking, running, biking) as long as it can be measured by GPS and involves a speed of less than 14 MPH.

Is there a limit to how many miles I can log each day?

Yes. ResQwalk limits users to 30 miles per day — enough for a marathon and stretch!

How does the app know how far I've done?

ResQwalk uses GPS to track your movement.

The app doesn't seem to be tracking my distance correctly. What can I do?

Please wait to press 'Start Walk' until you are outside of your home. GPS works best when there are minimal obstructions. Second, if you are iOS user, make sure 'Background App Refresh' is on.

Does GPS consume data on my phone?

No. GPS does not use data. The other app features, such as upload a photo, do use data. If you are concerned about your data usage, please be sure to connect to Wi-Fi when uploading photos and/or interacting with features such as the News Feed and Leaderboard.

Is ResQwalk compatible with stationery bikes, treadmills, Fitbit, Apple Watch, etc.?

No, but this is something ResQwalk is working on!

I just went on a ResQwalk and my stats aren't updating... What do I do?

ResQwalk updates user stats and the leaderboard hourly. If you don't see your stats immediately, simply check back later.
