Better social functionality
Greetings! Just wanted to say I found out about the app through your presentation on Ted talks and I think it is brilliant.
My suggestion/complaints would be around the social functions. I know you can post to Facebook but I don't like so much of my personal life ending up there. However, with that sort of functionality in mind, could you guys implement the same posting visibility straight through this app? There is an activity feed but it only shows my accomplishments, not those of my ally. A friend of mine with a brain condition got the app after I told her to watch the tedtalks presentation so we could team up together. But I can't see anything other than the most basic information for her.
Could you add more means of tracking each other's progress, viewing each other's quests and bad guys with a "allow other members to view your profile" option? Something where we can motivate each other and remind each other to keep going and to keep trying to overcome our goals. I think your IDE for the app is incredible, but it makes keeping in touch difficult through the app alone. Yes I can call or text her on my own, but it circumvents the potential utility of the app by causing users to take a different vehicle to help each other out. If you could do something to improve this I think it would make a world of difference for the users and increase our ability to grow on our own and with each other.
And lastly, thanks again for doing something with gaming to improve our world and way of living. I've been a hardcore gamer since I was 4 in 1985 and this is path of gaming is groundbreaking technology that allows gaming to be a serious solution in a world of problems. Thank you for figuring out how to take one more aspect of daily life and use it to change the world. There aren't nearly enough people out there trying to change the world for the better as opposed to profit.
