The Dudr app turns smartphone photography into a [gamified experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dailycrowds) beyond trying to get as many likes or followers as possible. From a German startup, Dudr asks a group of people -- it could be friends or [people attending an event](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/warmories) -- to press the camera button in-app at the same time to trigger their patented location-based system. Every participating 'Dude' has a mission to take 24 pictures in 24 hours. A day later they can look at the collection of captures in the social photo app. CEO Bernd Schmekel was inspired by the disposable camera. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Social Photo Apps:** Opportunity for gamified photo apps to enhance social photo sharing experiences. - **Gamification of Photography:** Opportunity to integrate game elements into photography apps to make it more engaging. - **Location-based Photography:** Opportunity to utilize location-based systems in photography apps to enhance group photo experiences. ### Where This Applies - **Mobile App Development:** Opportunity for app developers to create innovative and gamified social photo apps. - **Photography Equipment:** Opportunity for photography equipment manufacturers to market devices that support gamified photography experiences. - **Event Planning:** Opportunity for event planning companies to incorporate gamified photography activities into their events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Private Social Photo Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-app.md) - [Event Photo Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joycapture.md) - [Single-Use Photography Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/later-cam.md) - [Grid Photography Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/griddr.md) - [Trailer-Making Life Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moments.md) - [Daily Color Challenges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyedropper.md) - [Image-Sharing Social Applications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lapse-1.md) - [Creative Photo Communities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hipstamatic.md) - [Social Camera Fitness Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapfit1.md)
