NoMotion is an app that dramatically reduces the symptoms of motion sickness associated with traveling by boat, plane or car. About one third of people are susceptible to motion sickness, even in mild circumstances such as being on a boat in calm water or flying in an airplane. Medication is expensive and has side-effects such as drowsiness. By using 3 types of bio-feedback (audio and visual) NoMotion has proven to be just as effective as over the counter medicine. I believe this app is going to make history once launched, and we need your help to get us there.

How to use it:

  • Place the device in front of you.

  • Look at the simulated virtual horizon.

  • Listen to the audio bio-feedback.

  • Enjoy your trip!



  • How it works:
    The cause of motion sickness:
    Normally,when you move around, changes in your inner ear (vestibular system) match up with what you’re seeing. However, when you are traveling (in an airplane, boat or car) your inner ear signals that you’re moving, but your eyes say that you’re sitting still. These conflicting signals to the brain cause motion sickness.

    How NoMotion corrects this problem:
    NoMotion uses three different forms of bio-feedback to correct the signal conflicts caused by traveling. A virtual horizon simulates an environment that matches the signals from your inner ear to those of your eyes. A secondary bio-feedback audio pitch modulation (BFAPM) signal locks on and affirms this visual signal. After some training (an average of 40 mins) users may choose to rely solely on the audio signal to correct the inner ear signals. A third bio-feedback audio stereo modulation (BFASM) signal adds a further benefit when the app is used whilst wearing headphones.

    Why Should You Back This App?

    It's a great app. With 33% of the population suffering from travel sickness, NoMotion will make a difference in peoples lives. It also means we have a massive potential market to tap. Above all, you can be part of history in the making.

    Honorable mention:

  • Backers of $2,500 or more (Gold Status) will receive honorable mention on the app, the NoMotion website as well as a T-Shirt with a design to be determined, as well as a hand written thank you card.

  • Backers of $1,000 to $2,500 (Silver Status) will be listed on the app, the NoMotion website.

  • Backers of $1,00 to $1,000 (Bronze Status) will be listed on the NoMotion website.


  • All investors of any level will be forever appreciated.

    We also need more beta testers to test the release candidate of NoMotion. Any person (even if you don't back the app) who suffers from motion sickness and owns an iPhone or iPad should apply. If you are interrested, please sign up with testflightapp at this link: http://tflig.ht/Ry18sr
    The current state of the software is ready for the app store so please comment on any improvements and report any and all bugs. Don’t forget to register your device with testflight.

    What Will The Money Be Used For?

    App development is almost done. The release candidate (RC) is currently being tested by beta testers. We need a decent budget to launch a massive campaign. We need to capture the market before copies of the program starts to surface. Help us achieve our $10k marketing budget.

    Whether you back us or not..if you know someone suffering from travel sickness..please tell them about NoMotion.

    Welcome to appbackr, a crowdfunding marketplace for mobile apps!

    appbackr is the first crowdfunding marketplace for mobile apps. Developers connect with 'backrs' to help fund, market, and distribute their apps.

    Backrs make a profit as the app sells in retail app stores. appbackr allows anyone to take part in the new app economy...and make some $$$.

    Some apps are finished and some are still being developed. Backing an app early gives you the opportunity to make a higher return.

    Creating an app is hard work. Developers work tirelessly to build, perfect, and promote their apps in a very competitive market. appbackr gives them a place to find like-minded people to help support them in their journey.

    We're glad you're here...welcome to appbackr!

    Got it?...Thanks!
