Point Guide is a responsive mobile app developed in GlideApps, encouraging the local community to explore the neighbourhood. Point Guide is a community-powered index designed to connect the local community by providing locals with a source of information from local places to eat out, businesses, and even a source of recreation through the Point Challenge.

 

As non-essential businesses began to shut down and social distancing was implemented to fight against COVID-19, there was an opportunity to use newly found free time and expertise using Glideapps to support the local community with a one-stop-shop place of information.

 

Point Guide encourages locals to get out and explore the neighbourhood further with Point Challenge. Point Challenge consists of unique challenges to encourage locals to get out and explore the local area - from walking trails, sights to see, and even supporting local businesses.

​

To complement the launch of Point Guide, a micro-site was developed to facilitate the onboarding experience.
