An app to help you get home safe at night!

BuddyApp

Moonwalk, a mobile application, will help students form pairs or groups so that they can walk home together after dark. Since many students who prefer to work at the library feel unsafe walking alone on campus, this app would allow them to conveniently meet others who are taking a similar route at a similar time, and contribute together to making UBC a safer campus for everyone.
