About this app

Ommetje helps users to make walking a fun, daily habit. A daily walk of at least 20 minutes already has an effect on your brain fitness. Walk alone or with friends, family and colleagues. Earn XP, medals, badges and save the brain facts of professor neuropsychologist Erik Scherder.

Ommetje was developed by the Brain Foundation in close collaboration with Erik Scherder. Be inspired by him and start with (a) Detour today!

You can find and do all this with the app:

START AND STOP DROP
Start and stop your Detour with one click. Your detours will be saved. Handy, because that way you always know where, when and how far you have walked.

Please note: a detour is only registered if you walk for more than 10 minutes. With at least 20 minutes of walking, your brain also benefits and you earn points.

TOUR LEVELS
At Detour Levels you can level up every 2 weeks - if you earn enough XP points. There are a total of 8 levels. Every 2 weeks you walk in a level together with 99 random users. Every 2 weeks the top 30% is promoted to a new level. The last 10% of users drop a level. The rest stays in the same level. Over time, the app 'learns' what level you are at and you enter a level with people of your level.

This creates a healthy competition that has a super motivating effect. Then you will enjoy walking that extra round!

WALKING IN YOUR OWN TEAM
Would you rather compete with friends or would you rather walk quietly with family, neighbors or colleagues? That is also possible! Start your own team or join an existing team and help, support and motivate each other.

MEDALS
In Ommetje you can earn the following medals:

• Hiker Medal - Walk for a minimum of twenty minutes daily and earn points for this medal.

Ratings and reviews

The idea behind the app is great, but the execution is poor. Started using it together with colleagues, great competitive drive to try and get to the top of the ranking, but since I have a Huawei phone, sharing my 'ommetjes' does not register, which means I do not gain XP, nor do I get the connected medal (which again results in me getting less XP). Also the tracking is off and quits now and again. It is the idea that counts, but this app needs some serious improvement.

Love the motivation for the app. The app itself is quite lousy and buggy. It will drop and lose walks. It will forget the language setting. It will randomly decide I had an active walk while sitting, or a not active one while running. And the medals work very bizarrely. If you join a new group, it doesn't reset the medals. And so it will reward newcomers more.

Good idea just too buggy, better to charge a few euro and improve the app. 8/3/21 Hung again, 3rd time in 5 days version 3.0.5. 15/03/21 Update to my review and the issues. Try turning your wifi off before you start your ommetje Turn back on when finished. I went from 3-4 lost ommetjes per week to none, I think the issue is related to swapping networks, which you do when you walk away or towards your wifi/house.
