Hi Andrew,
I like it. My 2 cents:
1) Once i read your statement below I understand the app. I think you should make it plainly obvious that the app is for hiking (if that is your target market)
2) (This is based off the assumption that the target is hikers) The people who will use this are outdoors people. The app gui should be geared towards the market. I feel the app & web layout is geared for the high tech crew. Look at some legendary brands' color schemes (http://www.coleman.com/ http://www.coleman.com/). Maybe partner up with a casing designer to provide rugged iphone cases (they'll be taking their iphone outdoors).
3) Why are you better than GPS motionx?
Cool app and I hope you can give me your feedback when our (phone halo) app releases.
- andrewljohnson 17y agoHey CGH, Thanks for your comments. I've thought about each of these issues: 1 & 2) We want to market the app to anyone who wants to take a track. It being for hikers is a nice bonus, but in our experience, the market isn't big enough. We have a fairly successful app called TrailBehind just for hikers, but we hope people use this for cars, road-biking, etc. Note that we did have art for this app that was for hikers - just like www.trailbehind.com - but we changed it for a broader appeal. 3. We are better than Motion X for the following reasons: - we have MyTopo maps - we have far more complete waypoint search - I would argue our GUI is simpler - on things like track accuracy and batter consumption, we are equal if not better
