TerraTrek App update:

Latest version hiccups, disappointments and how we are working through it.

The original Artist Renderings for the proposed “look” of TerraTrek were above and beyond my expectations. As we got closer to to implementing the design concept to the dynamic clearing of clouds to expose the map below, it became clear that we could not. That’s the hiccup.
The disappointment is that the alternative option is to look just like two other map clearing apps (that admittedly, I didn’t know existed when I started this project…mine is still cooler).
As we work through this, the clouds are just a grey overlay that will clear out. Eventually it will be clouds, but for time sake getting a first version to test, these are the steps we take.

Currently I have a list of things that need to be edited. There’s some things that could be smoothed out. I’m hopeful that by May 1st a “completed” version is out for testing.

Stay Tuned for more! In the meantime go explore something.

People ask me what I’m doing with this app I’m building, what is TerraTrek? One of the parts of TerraTrek is to log your adventures. Post a short blurb about what you did, what you saw, snap some pics and save them.

Meet Irina. She is a friend of mine. Recently hiked Cucamonga Peak. As she was describing it to me because I’ve never heard of it this is what she shared:

“I went to Cucamonga Peak, LA, which is 11.6 miles with 4219 feet of elevation gain. It took me 7 hours to walk it. The scenery along the way was breathtaking with beautiful fall foliage and the sound of a babbling brook, the descent was challenging with lots of scree and loose rocks”

This is what you do here. Go on an adventure and share it here for us all to be inspired to get out and see this planet ourselves. After the app is live and maybe a version or two later, there will be an option to share adventures directly to this page and the website….and whatever other social media we need to get our hands on.

In the meantime, find your own “cucamonga” wherever you are and spend the day on it.

As the app works its way to the App Stores, I am left with a big question. How do I generate revenue? The app itself has its own methods of doing that with optional in app purchases to make your adventuring more interesting. But that option doesn’t get introduced into the app for a few versions down the road. In order to reach those versions (that will be awesome!) the TerraTrek app needs to generate funds. And the two options that lay before me both suck.

1) charge to download. $0.99?
2) free download and dupe my users with a free trial for a month to charge them some stupid dollar amount, OR
Free download and a plethora of annoying garbage ads?

I don’t like any of these options, I do believe that the app itself could be free, no ads, no charges and it can generate its own funding from faithful users that love the app for its purpose and truly use it as a tool in their exploration arsenal.

But the Big BUT of it, is that in order to reach that point the developers need to continue to be paid, and while things are basic at the moment, development is about to get wild!

So, what are your thoughts? Which is the lesser evil? Ads, charge a dollar download fee, combo of both? I’m not going to charge a subscription fee for the app.

Let me know your thoughts.

App Progress Update- as of this morning Phase 2 has rounded completion. Onto Phase 3- Back End Development. This is where all the logic happens, connecting to servers and overall functionality. An actual working Beta app should be in my hands very soon.
