If any achievement is given a social exposure, then it can be the best motivation for the customers for using the app. Every top app based company is providing the like to share their status and achievements on the social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Social Status

Badge and completed tasks, are the most shared contents through such apps. Just like Digital trophies are fun to share on the social networking, although then have no monetary value. Apple Watch lets you share such status of completing a fitness task.
