The BetterMiles App
Your Challenge Companion
The BetterMiles app is the engine behind the School Charity Challenge. It’s how students track their activity, see their charitable impact, and stay motivated throughout the friendly competition among and within schools.
How It Works
Before the challenge starts, students are invited to download the BetterMiles app and signing up with their email. During registration, they select their school, group, and one charity they would like to support during the challenge.
Once the challenge begins, the app automatically tracks every step and mile—using the phone’s built-in sensors or a connected smartwatch. Each mile is then converted into real dollars based on a pre-set price per mile donated by sponsors (not students). The funds are then donated to the student’s selected charity based on their respective completed mileage.
