25. Costs
This is a low-cost activity (given that you have the smartphones).
You need one smartphone per group.
Although it seems this is becoming a commodity.
Network access: we bought 20 euro pre-paid cards per phone.

26. Next Future
Create community around the application.
Try it out in other environments.
Have easy-to-organize (almost ad-hoc) gymkhanas.
Move from informal to formal learning (among others, this
means working on assessment of the learning).
