Hello fellow mumsnetters! Trying to make a new app to encourage people to walk more and would be really helpful if you could answer the following questions.

  1. How regularly do you go out for a walk?
  2. How much do you enjoy walking ?
  3. How much would you enjoy walking if you had a walking buddy?
  4. Do you find walking with friends to be a valuable use of your time?
  5. Do you do anything while walking?

Thank you for your help Smile.

  1. A few times a week
  2. Quite a lot
  3. Usually prefer walking with others (except when walking in my lunch hour, where I'm either running an errand at the same time or want some headspace).
  4. Yes, a group of us will often send a group message around when the evenings get lighter to go for a walk, often leaving as late as 8 and getting an hour or so in (longer if there's a pub stop partway around Grin). Many of us have the same day off, so sometimes get together then. Several of my friends have dogs, so actually meeting for a walk is part of their daily routine - the dog owners where I live walk together a lot (I don't have a dog so it's definitely more of a novelty for me)

  1. Regularly
  2. Lots
  3. Walking with others is good for conversation, walking alone is good for distance
  4. Yes, very good for building friendships and catching up
  5. Enjoy the view, zone out, chat, get exercise.

Two observations...
a) Your username Walkanda, if thats the name of your app, you might want to check it doesn't get confused with the app framework of the same name...
b) I'm guessing this is matching people or groups for walkers in the same area. Personal security is probably going to be a concern, so should likely be front & centre on any app design.

*ignore point (a), I missed that that was wakanda, not walkanda.

Thank you for bringing up the point of security. This is something I will strongly consider while working on this app.
Smile.

Similar

  1. Do you find walking with friends to be a valuable use of your time?

Yes

  1. Do you do anything while walking?

Just enjoy the countryside.

I think it's worth including whether or not you have a dog, and whether that dog likes other dogs for company?
