[Live]Social walking app

WakaBuddy.Walk more, together.

WakaBuddy doesn't count steps itself. It reads them from the health store already on the phone, then turns them into boards with friends and groups, challenges, weekly leagues, group walks, chat, and an AI coach. Steps and the social side are free; Plus adds the unlimited coach and personal extras.
