Walkr is a Taiwanese gamification app that incentivizes users to walk by rewarding them with planets. In my experience though, the app motivates you to walk more through peer pressure than gamification. Much as I loved my experience of using it, I'm torn about recommending this app for three reasons. Basically, I'm driven by "extrinsic motivation," or motivation that is driven by external rewards — like planets, points, or game achievements. Fourdesire CEO Wei-Fan Chen told Insider they're still working on making the Walkr app more user-friendly and enjoyable to use, and are taking inspiration from user stories.
