Peregrine's user-centered design process has resulted in a concept that manages broad appeal by focusing on common user problems while addressing specific concerns as well. While its primary audience is people who are disconnected from their local environment, the fact that it focuses on making personal connections broadens its appeal to almost everyone. It even remains useful for individuals who are simply interested in sharing information about walking, even if they themselves rarely use the scheduled walking features.

Peregrine also helps the local community by encouraging individuals to find new places, such as interesting local businesses. Also, by showing them close-by parking and public transport accessible Meeting Places, users will be more willing to explore small places previously thought impractical.

Our usability testing also is quite positive, with many users interested in a completed Peregrine product. By lowering the bar for easy and early adoption by existing open APIs, we expect Peregrine to be able to garner critical mass quickly, and promote local connectivity for uprooted new residents, frequent and infrequent walkers, local business and communities everywhere.
