Inspiration
Ever since Joey was a kid, he did not know how to walk properly. He still walks on his tiptoes to this day and gets scolded by his parents. His parents got tired of telling him everyday, so Joey (and his friend Rachel) decided to take matters in their own hands and create an app to remind Joey and other idiopathic walkers to walk properly.
