Dear community,

imagine there would be a mobile app, where you could build a team/party of 3-5 people, all with the same destination: Loosing Weight.
Following features would be integrated:

- Build or join a team/party of up to 5 members
- Set personal goals/challenges (e.g. loose 10 lbs in 2 weeks)
- Earn points by reaching your personal goal
- Earn points if your team reaches its goals (each team member reaches his/her goal).
- Earn badges after each successful challenge
- Chat with team members to motivate each other, post stories, photos, etc.
- Compare to / compete with other teams all in a positive, friendly and jokey manner.
- See your daily results on a funny statistics page

Would you use such an app? Have you ideas of other features you would like to see.

Background: I am a app developer (and also overweight :)) i tried many diets, sports, etc. My main point is that i cant hold through with anything i try. The first days everything works out fine,
but then i fall into old patterns. So i thought of having an app where a small group of buddies help and motivate each other to hold through. I think this might work, because all members pursue the same goal.
With some elements of gamification to make it more fun, like earning badges, getting reward points, compete with others, etc.

Your feedback would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Masiar
 
I wouldn't use such an app because I cannot really see that it provides anything that our forum challenges have not provided for years.
 
I'm a phone junkie. There are plenty of dieting/exercise apps already out there (I'm a user of Fitbit, myself). But if your phone has a web browser, this forum (any forum, really) can be taken with you wherever you go... I don't see what good an app like you're describing would do when mobile access to this site (with its individual and team challenges) is already possible.
