Outdoor Aficionados
Hike to earn mobile app, like a w@ze for outdoor adventures.
Outdoor Aficionados operates in the outdoor recreation market, providing a unique hike-to-earn mobile application designed to enhance the hiking experience through gamification and safety features. The app allows users to visualize available hikes, spot other members in the area, and see reported hazards. It also offers a distress signal feature that alerts nearby users within a 15 km radius in case of emergencies. The business primarily serves outdoor enthusiasts and hikers who are looking for a more engaging and safer hiking experience. The business model is based on a freemium approach, where the basic app is free, but additional features and customizations for teams are available for a fee. Revenue is generated through in-app purchases, premium subscriptions, and partnerships with outdoor gear retailers. The app also encourages community involvement by offering points and badges for various activities such as adding trails, participating in eco-challenges, and reporting hazards. This crowd-sourced approach not only enhances user engagement but also ensures up-to-date information on trails and hazards.
