Revolutionizing Adulthood THE REALWORLD APP CAN BE YOUR ULTIMATE COMPANION
DESIGNING DEMONSTRATIONS Realworld provides resources that make it easier to understand major “adulting” topics, like balancing a budget, filling out employment paperwork, setting up a credit card, etc. When setting out to create the app, Bellaire interviewed over 1,000 people — from recent college graduates to business owners — to understand the problem areas and then identify and create “playbooks” for dealing with them. Playbooks contain step- by-step lessons that guide users through their topic problem. The app now has nearly 100 instructional playbooks to prepare its users for many tasks. COMMUNITY OF PEERS Learning is easiest when you have other people to bounce ideas off of. The users, along with the team of researchers, writers, designers, and educators working on the app, all benefit from its lessons. The app has grown exponentially, amassing over 1.7 million users as of 2023. More people than ever have access to the resources they need to face adulthood head-on. The Realworld: Simplify Adulthood app is available now for free on Apple’s App Store.
GENEVIEVE’S REPRIEVE Despite her impressive education, Bellaire experienced challenges managing her finances, health care, and living arrangements in adulthood. Although well-studied, she was not well-prepared for life — and she wasn’t alone. When she talked to friends about these difficulties, they could all relate. Everyone felt they did not know enough about filing taxes, managing a 401(k), building credit, how insurance works, or many other critical facets of adult life. This is what inspired Bellaire to create Realworld, an app aimed at simplifying adulthood.
The software and smart devices kids have access to now are light-years ahead of what many of us had growing up. Nowadays, if you have a pressing question, you can ask Siri or Alexa, or look it up yourself on any number of connected devices. But even with modern conveniences, we still missed out on many practical lessons while growing up, whether we have a college education or not. That is where the Realworld app, created by Genevieve Bellaire, comes in handy: It’s the tool we wish we had growing up because it answers many questions young adults have.
