Badges can be used to provide an incentive to your users to visit specific sites or complete an array of tasks and challenges.
When a user reaches a page in your app which has been configured to trigger a badge, a popup will appear providing extra details regarding the achievement.
Users can visit the Badges page in the app to monitor their progress, view information regarding badges already earned, and get a sneak preview of badges yet to be earned.
Features:
- Customize: Design and use any icon of your choice to create themes, characters, or levels
- Geo-Reference: Use Geo-alerts or beacons to trigger badges only available at a specific location or site.
- Engage: Keep users in the app longer by creating fun interactive challenges, activities, or pop quizzes.
- Track: The “Badges” page shows progress and completion.
- Incentivize: Visitors can show that they’ve completed a challenge to earn discounts, prizes, or special offers.
- Search “Find your Independence” or “Junior Ranger Quest Mount Rushmore” in your app store to see how two of our clients are using their badges.
How to add badges to your app:
