Good onboarding goes a long way in making an app experience great.

Our new onboarding screens set out to do a few key things:

• Introduce members to the idea of what we are and what we do
• Provide a co-branding experience for our clients
• Help a member get set up by allowing them to connect a device and add a profile picture
• Give the member a sense of their status. Are they on a team or in a challenge? How do they contact support?
  
  We're happy to say that this is launching this week for both iOS and Android. Let us know what you think!

Hi there - 

As you've surely read, a major vulnerability was found in a ubiquitous software package called Log4j. You can read more about that here.

As a security measure, our team has conducted a full impact assessment, evaluating all of our staging and production systems. We do not use the log4j library and thus we have not been impacted by the vulnerability.

We are constantly monitoring the response of security researchers to observe the further discovery of this vulnerability and other that may arrive. Further updates will be posted here as necessary.

Happy fall - here's what Walker Tracker's development team has been up to the last few months.

Mobile:

- Accessibility release
In the early fall we implemented a big accessibility initiative in both our Android and iOS apps, making the apps perform much better with voiceover and the other built-in accessibility tools in the platforms. One of our main tenets is inclusivity, and we feel this goes a long way toward making our experience open to everyone.

- In-App Challenges!

Coming this week: Challenge your friends  directly from the app.

We hope you love this feature as much as we do. We'll certainly be challenging our friends/family over the Thanksgiving break. Watch for it to drop in the next few days.

Web

Our new platform, Stride, is up and running for Activity-based map challenges. I could look at this design all day... though I should probably get out there and walk a few more steps.

Even better - you can trial it now (or learn more about it) at:

We've lots more to come in the next few months.

I am very pleased to announce the complete re-design of our Android app. 

In addition to a gorgeous new re-design, we've completely refactored the codebase for stability, reliability and future improvements.

Needless to say, we're very excited and hope this brings a radically better Android experience.  We'd love to know what you think! Download the app here.
