	WALK AND SMILE WITH US: CITYWALK'S WALK'N'SMILE APP NOW AVAILABLE

The Walk'n'Smile app developed in the scope of the CityWalk project is now available to the public. It was created with the goal of increasing the number of people choosing walking over the use of motorized vehicles by making walking more fun. The app is based on a traditional pedometer (the app requires Google Fit app to count the steps) and supplements it with various exciting functions – awards based on the number of steps, funny photos, calories calculator, and city walkability evaluation survey.
