About this app

Share your location with the frens you came with, and see them on a map of the festival live.

Pick a name and you're in. Add people with a QR code or an invite link. They accept you, you accept them, that's the only way anyone shows up. Turn sharing on when you want to be visible. Their pins appear next to the stages, the paths, the camping. You can see who is walking toward the main stage and who is still in the tent. Turn sharing off when you don't want to be found. Nobody you didn't accept can see you. There is no public map of strangers.

A festival map you can actually use

These maps are built to be as precise as the official ones. Same layout, same landmarks ; stages, bars, toilets, first aid, gates, roads, camping. If it's on the plan at the entrance, it will be here.

The legend is interactive, not a static picture in a corner. Tap a category to show only stages, or only first aid, and hide the rest. Expand a list of stages and jump to the one you want. Tap a single landmark and the map flies there.

The map caches on your phone. When the network dies, and at a festival it will, the plan still open.

Save a place. Share a meeting point.

Long-press anywhere on the map to drop a pin to remember where is your tent, the car, a locker, etc. anywhere you'll need again at 6 a.m. Share it with a fren or a whole crew. They get a notification and the pin on their map.

Need everyone in the same spot after the set? Drop a Meet Here pin. It stays put. The crew sees the same point, and they get pinged when you place it.

HELP

If you're lost, in danger, or something feels wrong, HELP sends a short message to your accepted frens and crew: "I'm lost", "Can't find my friends", "Need medical help" ; with your position on the map. They get a notification. Tapping it opens the map on you.

Frens Radar is not an emergency service. For a real emergency, contact local emergency services and follow official event instructions.

Crews

A crew is your group of frens: make it unique with a name, a color, an emoji. See everyone on the map at once, drop meet pins together, and send a preset message — come here, on my way, meet at the pin — without opening another chat.

You're in control

Sharing is optional and obvious. Stop from the map or from Settings. Block people you don't want on your map. While sharing is on, a notification stays visible so you're never unsure whether you're still broadcasting.

The app is in English, Dutch, French, and German.
