Molto Inc. (Headquarters: Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture; Representative Director: Jun Kojiri) announces the launch of the beta version of its point-earning app, 'Poikoro - Point-Earning App to Accumulate Points by Walking,' for iOS and Android. This app allows users to earn points through various daily activities, including walking, moving, surveys, and games.

This app is a 'next-generation point-earning app' that combines multiple point-earning methods. In addition to points earned through step count linked with smartphone healthcare functions, it also includes points for distance traveled, simple survey answers, and mini-games.

■ Development Background
Conventional point-earning apps faced challenges such as:
・Monotonous, focusing mainly on ad viewing
・Low freedom in earning points
・Difficulty in sustained use

Furthermore, even health promotion apps struggled with low continuation rates as 'just walking' was hard to turn into a habit.

'Poikoro' was developed under the concept of 'converting all daily activities into points.' By combining actions like walking, moving, playing, and answering, it creates a system where users can continue without getting bored.

■ Key Features of 'Poikoro'

① Automatic Point Earning Through Steps and Movement
Linked with smartphone healthcare functions, users can earn points based on their step count. Additionally, a feature to earn points based on distance traveled is included, turning all daily movements, such as commuting, school commutes, and outings, into value.

② Widget Support
A home screen widget allows users to check their step count.

Also, if you don't log in, 'Poikoro' will get angry at you!

③ Monetize Spare Time with Surveys and Games
Numerous short-duration contents are available, such as:
・Simple survey answers
・Mini-games

This allows users to earn points even when not walking, maximizing their earning opportunities.

④ Engagement Design with Gacha and Encyclopedia
Gacha (capsule toy style lottery) and encyclopedia collection elements are included to promote continuous user engagement.

Through a system where content is unlocked based on level, it is designed for a long-term user experience.

⑤ Exchangeable for Electronic Gifts
Accumulated points can be exchanged for electronic gifts at cafes, convenience stores, and restaurants through a digital gift service.

These can be used casually in daily life.

■ Difference from Other Point-Earning Apps
'Poikoro' does not rely on a single method. Its design integrates multiple channels such as:
・Steps
・Movement
・Surveys
・Games
・Widgets

The biggest feature is that 'users can choose the optimal way to earn for themselves.'

■ Future Developments
Future enhancements are planned, including:
・Collaborative point-earning with friends
・Implementation of ranking functions
・Event-linked campaigns
・Location-based content utilizing geolocation
・Expansion of gift lineup

We anticipate these developments to create an environment where users can enjoy earning more points.
