David: I think the goal of the app is worthwhile, and I like the fun reward system in which you can decorate a ferret. I wonder how motivational the app would be for people to get outside when the goal is just to explore places just for them to be "cleared". I think users would get frustrated by the fact 90% of their world is not really clearable (buildings, nature, private property). Maybe a cool pivot this app could take is focusing on specific locations. For example, users could choose to go for the National Parks goal, and then try to visit ten national parks. Then, it would be less of random world clearing, and more focused and goal based.
Bahari: I like - the idea of getting people to go outside and to adventure. I think it is a great idea seeing how Pokemon Go was so successful, and people love being able to gain new achievements and items. The goal of this app is definitely worthwhile and one of the apps that do more good than harm. I wish - We were able to customize our avatars and not be stuck to a ferret. It would be cool if we could choose different animals or maybe not even an animal but a cute little monster kind of like how Neopets was.
Joshua: I wish there was a way to compete with other friends and/or a feature that motivated replayability. As of now I don't know how much decorating your ferret will keep people playing the game. I like the theme of the game. The Pokemon go augmented reality kind of game attracted a lot of people and it motivates people to play games while travelling outside.
Justine: I like: Having your own personal avatar is really cute! Also I like how you can buy items and customize your ferret because I know people will love to compare their pets with each other and it will motivate people to keep playing more. I wish: The app was able to have a trading feature. Maybe certain items can appear only in certain places and then people can trade with each other to get different items from different placed. This would be really cool if someone was visiting an area and traded with a local. This could also create “Ferret Gatherings” where people meet up and exchange items.

Annie: I like this idea because I am a huge Pokemon Go fan and would love the idea of an AR-based mobile game. I like that it is on a mobile platform so more people can easily be part of the world. I wish there was were "big events" or "battles" to change up the pace of the game every now and then. As with Pokemon Go's initial launch, the lack of special events made the game a little mundane after a while.
Jacob: I like the name and idea of an AR game based on exploration. I also like the idea of an avatar and upgrading based on items. I wish that there were more than just items and maybe a level system similar to an RPG or something. I also wish that there could be quests or something to visit certain locations instead of wandering aimlessly to get items? I think visiting certain landmarks across the county/state should rewards better or different items, but if all items are cosmetic it may lose any merit of being worth traveling or not.
Jason: I like: The idea that the application keeps track of locations where you've been and where you haven't been. A user could eventually been to every place in the world. Also, avatar rewards where the item is related to the culture/geography of a location is neat as well for enriching learning and more. I wish: I wish there was more incentive to collect items and for personalizing a ferret. It sounds like the application is a solo experience for a user, so while it may be cool to customize a ferret, the appeal may be lost if other people cannot see or interact with a user's customized ferret.
Jake: I like the idea how the app motivates people to travel more places around them.
I wish besides giving users item to customize their avatar, the app should let them interact with other users who are traveling to the same places, such as making friends, share photos and hints about the location.
