Absolutely love the product! Any plans to incentivising users with badges for monuments they visit or distance they walk? Could be a great way to encourage being more active 👍

@lachlankirkwood Hey! Thanks for your feedback, the idea is to add profiles with a leaderboard of weekly steps done, walks shared and created (like a local guide)... What do you think?

This takes literally all the fun and joy out of going for a walk. Also, why would I not just use google maps?

@andrew_sibert Thanks for the honest feedback! Well, the idea is to use it when you’re not in your own city and you want to discover venues, like when doing tourism on the fly. GMaps needs you to search manually, here we generate a walk from A to A with monuments inside according to your free time. Between two meetings for instance, it can be cool to discover surroundings

Very interesting idea (and I'm so pleased to see it on Android at the start!) but I tried it (near my home, small city) and it generated a walk with four monuments. One was just an address, that's actually nowhere near the pin (10+ blocks away); one was (name of city) Park, pinned in the middle of an apartment complex that's about a block away from the nearest park (which has a name); and two were a church. They were actually pinned on the church, but why two of them? Two questions - where do you get your lists of monuments? And is there any way to do corrections? I couldn't see a menu or a way of giving feedback at all (aside from rating it in the Play Store, of course).

@jjmcgaffey Hello, thanks for trying Walk and giving honest feedback! For now, we don't have any specific form to receive feedback and we prioritize mail at hello@walk.cafe :) First, monuments are from multiple providers on the Internet. We act as a search engine for monuments, we are currently looking on a way to exclude church but keep cathedrals and buildings with historical background. We are going to add Tags selection in a near-future update. Next, about corrections, we also found that some monuments were misplaced but mainly abroad large cities (I live in Paris now but I started making the app a while ago and I was living in the countryside, this issue happened there). Hope I have answered your questions, feel free to send us a mail :)

I would like to share it with friends, tell my friends that in half an hour, or one hour I'll go to this place if they want to meet me there. Would it be possible one day ?

Pros:

I like the idea we can use it wherever we are. It's good to have an ap that helps you to visit the area with the time you have

Cons:

It would great to chose in a list what kind of place you want to see in a walk.

I'd love it if you annotated my walk on my apple watch :). Neat idea though, will give it a shot next time I'll take a break from work.

@satwaya if you pointed out surroundings, etc.! just kind of annoying to whip out my phone everywhere. Btw seeing as you just launched if you want more feedback I have a market research service where for $12 you can ask 100 people a question then follow-up based on how they answered and even interview them! https://scoops.io/ You could ask e.g. "How often do you walk and wish that where you were walking you could get more information about the surrounding landmarks?" and then see how frequent/severe the problem is. Anyway If you want to give it a shot feel free to sign up and let me know which email you used over Intercom and I'll pass you $12 in free credits. Best of luck otherwise!

Hello! 🌴 I'm so excited and so stressed about this launch! 🚀 Let me introduce myself: I'm Joshua and with my friend Samuel, both 18, we created Walk, an app to let you generate a walk according to your free time. All this journey started back in 2017 during the Product Hunt Global Hackathon. We all have free time while it's ☀️ sunny out there and we thought it would be cool to have an app allowing us to generate a walk so that we don't waste time searching where we should go by. We can't wait to know more about you and have insights on what we should do to make this even better, together. Hope you will love Walk as we enjoy building it! ❤️

So neat! I always wanted to do something like this with Graffmap (way back). If you're looking to add street art, we open-sources the graffs (though they're a bit old now): https://github.com/aegiz/graffmap

@rhymeswithsimon Thanks for sharing Simon! It’s a really great idea to add graffitis as places to see, we are currently working on Tags so this can be part of a future update. Wishing you all the best for what’s next ☺️🔥
