About this app

Paintball Commander turns your phone into the team's tactical map.

Everyone on your team sees each other live, on satellite imagery, while you play - and the referees see everyone. That's free. No ads.

• Live team map - your team in real time, and it keeps reporting with the screen off
• Draw the field - zones, boundaries and objectives. Saving them, so your team or everyone sees them, is Premium
• Measure as you draw - distance, perimeter and area appear while you place the points
• Referee mode - a neutral third role with its own sign-in, seeing every team at once
• Games and teams in seconds - invite by link or QR code, set who may invite, revoke any invite
• Your own track - see where you actually went, free for the last 60 minutes
• Follow along in a browser - the live map, your game history, and track export as GPX, KML or GeoJSON

BEFORE THE GAME
Create a game, draw the field, and share one link or QR code. Whoever scans it joins the right team without typing anything. You decide who else may invite, and any invitation can be revoked.

DURING THE GAME
The map shows every teammate as they move, with the newest positions marked as fresh and older ones drawn hollow, so you can tell what you are looking at. Set your own state in the game and the rest of the team sees it on the map. You choose how long you share your position when you join, and the app warns you before that time runs out.

AFTER THE GAME
Your game history and the tracks are on the website, and every track exports as GPX, KML or GeoJSON for whatever map tool you already use.

PREMIUM
Premium adds: saving the map objects you draw, your own track for the whole game (free shows the last 60 minutes), seeing where everyone else has been, and more frequent position updates. New accounts get 14 days of Premium free. The subscription renews automatically, monthly or yearly, and can be cancelled anytime under Subscriptions in Google Play.

FOR AIRSOFT, MILSIM AND HUNTING
It works the same wherever a team needs to see itself on a map. A hunting party uses it the same way: everyone sees each other in real time, and stands, boundaries and drives are drawn on the map. Seeing your party costs nothing.
Map positions are an aid. They never replace hunting safety rules, positive target identification or direct communication.

Same app since 2012 - season after season of keeping a team visible to itself on real fields, with patchy coverage and a battery that has to last the day.

What’s new

Fixed an issue where a teammate could disappear from the map after the app restored your sign-in.
