Walking Games: Explora - Gamified step tracker app, get motivated to walk every day

@smith_ro Thanks Robert!

@brandon_cccc Thanks Brandon for your message! You are right, seeing the success of Stepn made me realize that something could be done with tracking people's steps and adding some fun layers around it. But Web3 economies have been challenging to sustain in this field, which is why I didn't go there! I hope you try the app and have fun ;)

@benjamin_sloutsky Now THAT would be a great goal for us!

@kshitij1108 Hi, first of all thanks for your detailed message! Also, I didn't know about stepsetgo, it seems very interesting with some cool ideas, I am definitely checking it out to look for inspiration. Regarding active time during the day, this is something I have in the pipe 😄 I found this feature as well as other things you just mentioned in https://sweatco.in/, which has been a big inspiration too. Regarding the differentiation, I am mostly focused on: - Maximum gamification, it's not just about tracking and numbers, but also about more advanced psychological things (streaks, leagues with other players...) - Avoid to have "real money" involved like a lot of walking apps that pay you to walk. It's great on paper, but these models usually have very very high inflation as soon as the users flow in, which makes the rewards worthless very fast (and the users dissatisfied) - In the future, if the project goes well and is financially sustainable, I would like to develop the social aspect much more with friends challenges, guilds... Thanks again for your thoughts, very appreciated!

@hello_explora sounds amazing. Excited to see what comes ahead, good luck :)

@theanamoura Hi Ana, thanks a lot for your comment! Good question, basically it lasted around 6 months. The timeline is a bit like this: - 1 month - make an MVP - 1 month - collect feedback - 1 month - make an alpha - 1 month - collect feedback - 1 month - make a beta - 1 month - make some business KPIs & UA tests And here we are :)

@hello_explora wow that is very impressive! Good job you guys. 👏👏

@su_kumar Hi Sukumar, thanks for your message! Regarding data you have a good point, let me give you a bit more information: - Actually, the only health data we are collecting is the number of steps done for the last few days, so nothing too sensitive. - Anyway, as we are using the Google Fit API, we had to undergo deep security assessments from an independent consulting firm, which found that the app respects all professional standards to protect user data. So, your data is safe with us :)

@hello_explora Thanks for the clarification

@jessica_herman2 Hi Jessica, thanks a lot for taking the time to check the app. This is actually something many users already asked, you're in the right. It's definitely in the top part of my backlog. :)

@oriyomisuleiman Thank you, hope you have fun!

@william_jin Hi William, good question! Indeed this is one of the main focuses. Every month there is a new seasonal challenge in which players can try to unlock a unique character that will only be available during this event. Players really love it and it keeps them coming back. But there are many aspects we are trying to build there, the social aspect in particular (clans, friends challenges...) Do you have some ideas that we could try?
