About this app

Keep your whole crew together with live location sharing, a real-time group map, and one-tap SOS. Share your location for the trip, then turn it off when it's over. Built for groups, not surveillance.

Keep Your Crew Together. Anywhere.

Whether you're with friends at a festival, family on a road trip, coworkers at a conference, or a hiking crew deep in the woods, BuddySOS puts everyone on one shared live map, with one tap to alert the group and one easy way to meet up. No more texting "where are you" into the void. No more losing someone in a crowd.

KEY FEATURES

Live group map
See where everyone in your group is in real time. Avatars update as people move, so you always know who's nearby and who's drifted off.

One-tap SOS
A single press sends an alert with your live location to everyone in your group. For the moments when you need help fast and can't explain.

Shared meetup pins
Drop a pin at the food truck, the stage, the trailhead, or the hotel lobby. Everyone sees it and gets directions to the same spot.

Safe zones with exit alerts
Set safe zones for your group and get notified the moment someone leaves one. Handy for festivals, campsites, and busy venues.

Live sharing windows
Location streams only during an active sharing window. Nothing is shared before it starts, and it stops automatically when the window ends.

Group invites that actually work
Add anyone to your group. If they don't have BuddySOS yet, they get a text with a direct download link, so nobody gets left behind at the start of the weekend.

Battery and status at a glance
Check the whole crew's phone battery and last-seen time in one view. Useful when you're wondering if someone's ignoring you or their phone just died.

Privacy you control
You decide who sees your location, when, and for how long. Groups can be temporary (just for this trip) or permanent (your running family group). End the session when the weekend ends.

WHY BUDDYSOS

Most location-sharing apps were built for parents tracking kids or couples checking in. BuddySOS was built for groups: the messy, moving, chaotic kind. Bachelorette weekends. Festival crews. Ski trips. Conferences. Family reunions. The kind of plans where nine people agree to meet at 7 and only four actually make it.

Whether you call it a group tracker, a find-my-friends map, a festival safety app, or just peace of mind, BuddySOS keeps your people together and gets help to them fast when it matters.

FREE TO USE

BuddySOS is free with a small ad. Remove ads for $1.99/month. That's it. No tiers, no data selling, no upsells on every screen.

Download BuddySOS, add your crew, and never lose anyone again.
