World Heritage Walking (Pedometer) is a health care application that works in conjunction with the pedometer on your smartphone or Apple Watch to take you on a World Heritage adventure. More than 100 World Heritage sites are available, and courses are set so that users can achieve "8,000 steps per day. Users can virtually visit World Heritage sites on the map in conjunction with the pedometer at cultural, natural, and composite World Heritage sites around the world. Users set a goal to reach a World Heritage site, so the application encourages walking and helps users get exercise. It may even help you study for the World Heritage Examination!

■ There are over 100 registered World Heritage sites!
A total of more than 100 World Heritage sites in Asia, Europe, South America, Africa, Oceania, and North and Central America can be visited on the app. Users can freely select the World Heritage sites they wish to visit. All they have to do is walk with their phone! The app counts the number of steps you take and moves you to your destination.

■ A simple pedometer function is included! You can immediately check the number of steps taken and calories burned in a day!
Easily check the number of steps taken, calories burned, distance walked, and time spent in a day. Users can set a target number of steps to see if they are on track to meet their goal. Users can also check their weekly step count on a bar graph or line graph.

■ A step count calendar is also included! Check your monthly step count!
You can check the number of steps you have taken each month on the step count calendar. If the target number of steps has been reached, the gauge will be maxed out and a check mark will be added. The number of steps is visualized in an easy-to-understand manner, so you can immediately check if you have achieved your daily step count goal.

■ Post the results of your daily steps with the SNS function! Keep your motivation up with the "likes" that people give you!
Users can post comments when they reach a World Heritage Site. The postings can be viewed and "liked" by users all over the world. Users can see the comments and "likes" and stay motivated to continue walking without getting bored.

■ Data is securely managed in the cloud!

■ Designed to conserve your phone's battery, so you can go out with peace of mind!
To reduce battery consumption, the number of steps is not monitored in real time. The number of steps is not monitored even when the app is in the background. The app is designed to acquire the number of steps only when the number of steps is necessary due to user operations while the app is in the foreground, thus reducing the battery consumption of the smartphone. Compared to conventional pedometers, which consume large amounts of battery power, this energy-saving design allows you to use the app with peace of mind.
