dornation through walking, smartphone application Bigwalk Review

Bigwalk is the smartphone application to dornate an artificial leg who cannot easily walk through walking.

I didn't checked there is Bigwalk App for iPhone, but you can download the App for Android in google market for free.

To use bigwalk Application first, you should join online membership. (Once you join membership you wouldn't see joining form anymore. That means this App provide automatic login. There is no corresponding image because I didn't captured screenshot at that time) The process to join isn't complicated so you can join it easily. But for foreigners, I didn't checked whether English service is provided or not. So foreigners can feel complicated to join the membership if bigwalk English service didn't applied.

After you successfully log-in, you can see the screen like this.

To click START, measuring walking to dornate would start.

The more you walk, the more you can dornate in this state. This Application is using cyber money called noon to dornate.

If you select STOP in this state, the App shows confirmation page and returns main page before you clicking START.

You can see menu in left top of the main page. The first top menu shows notifications. To click second menu you can see dornation target. In third menu you can see the place you walked.

The upper picture shows when you select menu in second.

The upper picture shows when you select menu in third. The upper picture shows exact path when I walked, but especially I walked short distance, the path often incorrect.

If you click START and instantly STOP before walking, the map shows unknown space.

I did some experiments through Bigwalk.

You cannot gain cyber money when you are in bus and subway.

If you click START in this App and don't move for a long time, you wouldn't gain cyber money. But calorie calculation operates and this app shows that you consume many calorie. As a result, you cannot dornate to click START and merely sit down.



I couldn't find any English version of this application through searching web. And because of the GPS calculation system, I think this app wouldn't operate in foreign country.[modified : I questioned to Bigwalk facebook homepage and they said Bigwalk application is available anywhere in worldwide.] I hope Bigwalk company offers English version with detectable GPS system in foreign country.

I plan to review later Bigwalk app again after using Bigwalk in foreign country except Korea.
