This week I have made some iteration on the some of the functions.
The first change I made was to add notification when user has unlocked an achievement. There is going to be a red notification appearing on the achievement tab. When tapping into the page, the user needs to claim the achievement so that the achievement will move to the "completed achievements" section.
Adding animation when playing with your dog so that the user can have a better idea that they will need to move the phone and interact with the virtual dog.
In the walking in the neighborhood section, more animation is added to indicating the user needs to move to complete the task. When finishing the task, there is going to be congrats page.
I also added the final report page, it will appear when the 7 days end. When the notification pops out, the user can choose to see the final report. And there is going to be result based on the activities the user did in the past seven days. If the user gets a great result, then the app will recommend this user to some of the shelters.
