Team C2 (Kool Kats) : Aaron: I like the idea of virtually showing users how much they have traveled over iconic vistas such as well-known mountain tops. I think it would definitely make hiking and walking more fun and interesting for users. I wish the app could be more customizable. Maybe let users upload pictures from their own personal hikes so that other users can also "experience" those same hikes.

Jennifer: I like the idea of the application because it gives users motivation to work out and move. The use of intermittent rewards through obtaining pictures by reaching a certain goal is great in my opinion. I think this reminded me of Pokemon Go in the way that it motivated users to move, but I think this idea may be even better than that because it involves something more sentimental like the pictures of nice views from that area. I wish the app allowed users to upload pictures or submit pictures of cool and beautiful places they find as they walk/run. The pictures could be submitted and chosen to be added to the rewards system if it is good. This will allow the app to gain data from its users rather than only having the picture rewards that were there with the app.

TaeHee: I Like - The fact that the app has a competition factor is great: I feel that more people would use an app if there was an incentive (in this case, beating a record that was previously set by another person). I like that you made a world rank for the app as well: this means that people all around the world can interact and compete with each other. I Wish - I sort of wish that there was something more of an incentive than just "unlocking images". Its nice to unlock things after walking a certain amount of distance but having the reward be just a scenary photo after all that work seems kind of a let down in a way.

Trung Do: I like the fact that the app focuses a large potential group of customer (explorers). It also contains a competitive factor which is a motivation for users to compete with each others.

I wish this app has a precise tracking system. Most of the current running app/ tracking app is very accurate because it takes advantage of hardware support (iOS or Android). However, since we're implementing a web-app, it may not have all of that benefits. The app can't be able to compete with other apps if its core feature is not accurate.

Team C4: Team 7meer

Khaled Ahmad: I like the overall idea of having relating the steps you take to an actual hike in nature, such as hikes in Yosemite or even mount Everest. It gives a good motivating factor to why people would want to take more steps and push further.

I wish you could add more incentive to users than the basic competition between users. Because there are already many apps out there today that focus on competition with friends as motivation. Another way you can motivate users to walk more is by unlocking coupons the more you walk or unlocking prizes.

Ameer Muhtaseb: I like how this app is different than all other fitness tracking apps because it allows you to track the different types of activities that you may participate in such as climbing a mountain or running a marathon.

I wish there was a more intriguing way of competing against friends. This is a tough feature to come up with but I think this would greatly increase interest among athletes who are generally more competitive than most individuals.

Belal Aboabdo: I like--the way you're visualizing the data. It is a very unique way to track steps compared to other wearables. I also like the idea of making it a game or competition between friends which would encourage more people to use the app.

I wish-- you could take more advantage of a topographic representation. For example I could choose a trail along a famous hike such as the Appalachian trail and then I would be shown a visualization of my location moving along the trail rather than just a picture.

Shreeman Hariharan: I like -- I like that the application relates the distance to a physical landmark that has been trekked. I also like that the app uses the geographical feature of distance to allow remote races between people.

I wish -- I wish that the app includes a map feature such that the user can pan the map to see where they have traveled and what landmarks they can choose to travel. The app should also include some feature to see from what countries the remote competitiors come from.
