About Wandering Psychological App
Wandering is a mobile application created to help people relieve anxiety and negative emotions. Wandering uses a light gamification approach that guides users through a personal mental world. During registration, each user selects a spiritual body that becomes the character for the journey. Users record their feelings each day and receive feedback that invites them to rethink problems from different angles. Encouraging messages from users in similar situations appear along the route, and a meditation function is also included. The application is made for the iOS system.

- Operation Flow
- At the beginning of registration, users will choose their own spiritual body. Users start a spiritual journey by playing their own spiritual body. After recording their feelings every day, users will get corresponding feedback to guide users to rethink problems from different angles and establish a positive attitude. Meanwhile, wandering will also conduct light social matching through big data. During the trip, you will encounter encouraging words left by friends who are similar to your situation. After achieving phased results, users can step into the next area and continue their journey. In addition, wandering also provides meditation function.
- Research
- We conducted in-depth research and interviews with groups suffering from anxiety and depression for a long time. Then found that most of today's psychological apps are difficult to really long-term anxiety. The dredging of negative emotions requires long-term self-guidance and external guidance. So we want to solve this problem in a game way of a journey.
