## What is Walky?

Exercise is very important, we all know, but it usually fails because of the motivation. Dogs can motivate people to move outside, but not everyone is allowed to keep a dog or has no time for it. In order to promote the motivation, there is a virtual dog in this app. This animates you again and again to walk a few steps and to reach your movement goal. 

Scope:
- Motivating virtual dog that you can give a name to.
- Hints/reminders that you should keep moving for your and the dog's well-being. 
- Individual exercise goals
- Access to step data via Apple Health
- Joy of exercise
