In this paper, we present the design, implementation and evaluation of the LEGIO application, which presents a challengebased social network. This intends that in this network all of the activities of the users are linked up with the challenges. The social network in which a person or a company or association can produce and publish a challenge and then users participate in it. In the past, and today we witness the challenges were launched separately like the ice bucket challenge and the mannequin Etc. Only on that point was no social network to concentrate on these challenges to accompany help from the start to the close. This means that users can easily discover the challenges and become aware of their goals. But there are problems such as the lack of clear targets and rules, Failure to observe the rules by users or The lack of an integrated network for participants.So we started the idea of the design and implementation of a challenge-based social network structure with the aim of covering all the weaknesses of the past and current challenges and more special features. For implementation was needed to design a special challenge-based social network structure that finally we brought into a coherent structure with a survey of social network users. In the following, review the structure of a social network based on the challenge. We studied the different significances of the word challenge as well as a survey of 372 users, will achieve the different concepts of the word challenge. Then we started by designing a separate structure in the shape of a social network, with the intention of tracking all the concepts focused challenge for with amenities and features necessary to put through. The idea will be inaugurated in two phases: the first phase is the presentation of coherent structure proposed and the second phase is about the LEGIO application design.

In this paper, we present the design, implementation and evaluation of the LEGIO application, which represents an independent social network for creating and managing challenges. We first looked shortages and problems of today's challenges. The study was conducted surveys among users, we have designed a coherent structure to better manage the challenges that I mentioned. The proposed structure has been provided by our team of evaluation and assessment of all cases and may be the first project in this area with objections that can be discovered and solved in the next article. In the following became the structure of the phase-to-phase theory, practical and introduced some of the main components of the application.
