Jaywalk - Walk, get money

by

Jaywalk is a new app that lets you earn discounts in your neighborhood just for walking or running. We built it because walking is the easiest way to stay healthy and walking for a coffee, sandwich, or even a drink is a great goal. This is the second version of the app and we're proud to share it with ProductHunt.

Kind of excited about this, especially from the "support a local business" aspect. Looking forward to trying on Android.
The idea is great and the app and messaging is very smooth! Congratulations! I look forward to having merchants available near me!
Great implementation of a healthy lifestyle!
Is it for local merchants or online merchants too ?
we'll be working with online merchants soon
Been using this for a couple of days. Will keep you posted.
Looks like we have a direct competitor to now.
Love the concept. I work in Behavioral Change for Sustainable Development and I see that Jayways has been able to hit two different targets. This is great. The only issue is that you don't have any business here in Bangalore, India. Let me know if I can help you in anyways to onboard local businesses here. Would love to connect.
How do you get the funds to support the app?

Health wise there doesn't seem to be limited benefit if you drink any coffee other than brewed straight coffee, any other types of coffee going by the

Pros:

interesting concept to get people to think about exercise/ award goals. Marketing wise,clever concept to boost footfall into food services.

Cons:

limited health benefit if eat more than you walk calorie wise.

Didn't get a chance to really walk much during the week, but this past weekend I went to SF and walked a TON and took some pictures. Checked my coins today and saw that I only had 11¢ from the $5.16 that I had yesterday, so that's when I realized that it resets at the end of the day.

So ATM the app is kind of useless for me becuase there's no merchants near me to use the $$ on, so I'll just be sticking to Sweatcoin for now.

Pros:

gets you moving & taking pics | nice way to find places around you

Cons:

no merchants in bay area | coins disappear at the end of the day
