Dosty Walks
Dosty Walks is a new Azerbaijani app that turns daily walking into help for homeless animals. Users track their steps via Apple Health, Google Fit, or Samsung Health, which are automatically converted into in-app coins. These coins can be donated and are converted into food for animals in shelters: according to the developers, shelters receive 500 kg of food monthly. The app also features a leaderboard, seasonal competitions, group chats, and an achievement system.
