While fitness apps prioritize runners with advanced metrics, walkers have been overlooked. Walk Mate is the first iOS app built exclusively for walkers seeking variety and discovery. Its intelligent route generator creates fresh, circular paths daily, with safety first navigation that adapts to time of day. Set your preferred distance, rate your walks, and let the app learn your preferences. No more decision fatigue, just open WalkMate and rediscover your neighborhood one step at a time.

Recap
How does Walk Mate plan to integrate community features or social sharing options to enhance. user engagement and facilitate group walking initiatives?

Hi @liulixin ,
Great question! Walk Mate currently supports route sharing where you can generate beautiful route images and share them across social platforms. For community features, I'm exploring exciting possibilities like:
Create walking challenges with friends and family
Share and discover popular routes from other users in your area
Show off your medals and milestones with the community
These features are on my roadmap as I continue to build Walk Mate into a more social experience.
Thanks for the feedback! It helps me prioritize what matters most to our users!
Hey, great concept! I'm really curious about the features. I'm wondering if there are any features integrating real-time local crime/alert data?
Sounds really useful, I'd love to see the ability to see more metrics about the walk, such as how much is on road vs green space.

Hi @henry_adams5 ,
Currently, Walk Mate tracks distance, duration, completion rates, and medal collection, but as a solo iOS developer who works on this project I'm working on adding more detailed route analytics including urban exploration vs green space vs park paths.
This data would help you choose routes that match your preferences whether you want a peaceful park walk or an urban exploration.
It's definitely on my development list!
I used to jog a lot, but j always used the same route, this is actually helpful, if it would be for android then this would be most useful

Hi@javlonbek_shodmonov ,
I'm happy to hear that. I got so many feedback about Android. I'd like to develop Android version as well.
@emrdgrmnci hello, that would be great, since the majority of mobile phone users have android platform!!!
I would love to have this work in a country that doesn't have the best sidewalks (it's me, I'm from a country that doesn't have the best sidewalks)
Walk Mate
Hi @micagonzalez , I really feel you :) I'm from another person who lives in a country which has the worst sidewalks ever. Unfortunately, there is no data to use for routing on the best sidewalks :D
Yeah! This is like a social network for nomads to share cool walking routes?

Hi @pasha_tseluyko ,
Great question! Right now it's more personal route discovery + individual sharing, but the social network angle is definitely on my radar!
Currently: Generate routes → Walk them → Share favorites on social media like Strava app.
