In my language “thanks” and “please” can use the same word, sometimes it spills over into my use of English. Hopefully the tone of voice carries the sincerity of the hopeful-but-not-demanding request anyway, but that’s not available in online communication. Then again, online I usually have time to get my "thank you"s and " please"s in order.
There’s also “The Walk” from the same makers, for us non-joggers. I tried it long ago and I think it was mostly an audio story that triggered a new chapter at some step counts.
