"Before finding BetterPoints, I would not hesitate to grab my car keys as I found it the easiest way to travel with the kids, but now I find that a few trips to the local supermarket can be done either by walking or taking the bus. This allows the kids to have some fresh air too.
Since using the app, I like that it tracks without me having to remind it, I can just turn on the tracking, and it monitors my daily movements. At the end of the day, it’s good to see how much I’ve walked.
My activity habits have changed, and it’s made me more aware of how my travelling affects my health and my kids. I have noticed I can physically walk longer distances or take longer trips to the park.
It has really helped me financially too, with the cost-of-living crisis, every penny counts, especially when you have kids. Although it’s convenient to pick up the car keys, I have found reasons to travel more on foot and enjoy the community around me, also saving a few quid on petrol." - Sobiya from Beckton
"I was told about BetterPoints by someone at a People Powered Places event and signed up the next day. Since I joined, the app has encouraged me to do more walking.
One of the things I like about the app is that it records how much exercise I have done, and it encourages me to do more with the variety of reward vouchers.
Three months on I now walk 50% more than before, and I’ve replaced some of the bus journeys I used to make too. As a result, I’m getting fitter, and I do feel a sense of satisfaction when I have met the weekly targets for exercise." - Alan from Forest Gate
