Walkmore is the social app that brings together families, friends, and colleagues around a universal theme: everyday walking. Fun, healthy, and inclusive, Walkmore can be a bit subversive and offbeat in tone, but its always to invite as many people as possible to walk with us! Walkmore aims to revolutionize the mobile step counter by motivating, challenging, and helping groups of people have fun, while turning everyday walking into a game! Created by entrepreneurs Thomas Allaire and Olivier Thomazo with Imagination Machine startup studio for good, Walkmore is born of a strong desire to make people happier and healthier by helping them find the motivation to move more every day.
