Context
As someone who enjoys walking as a hobby and form of exercise, I knew that plenty of problems exist within the hobby itself, making it less accessible for plenty of people. I researched the health benefits that are provided by walking consistently, alongside ways to make walking a more enjoyable activity so that I can provide those who do not walk often with motivators that will encourage them to make it into a daily routine.
Solution
Scout is an app that has been created in order to help individuals increase their motivation to go on walks by combining social media and GPS functionality. This combination allows users to share their routes and activity levels with friends while also discovering new places to walk at the same time. Scout is meant to create a friendly form of competition between one another by including the aspect of streaks, tracking how many days in a row a person has gone walking.
