Secure and solid in crowds
I heard about Buddy through a friend who used it at a festival and tried it at one of the Indivisible demonstrations. It was perfect to use to coordinate with my friends where data is unreliable and privacy is key. I dropped a Spot when I got separated from them and we were able to find each other very easily. I also love that the messaging is encrypted. Very important for this type of work. Not to mention just being able to communicate offline when in such a huge crowd.

Didn’t work
Tried using at festival and was pretty much worthless. Wouldn’t work and kept getting stuck updating data.
Did not work
Tried this at a festival a few weeks ago and we were all left without commmunication. The app is not user friendly and takes forever to load up friend requests and nearly everything else. Wouldn’t recommend. Was a waste of time setting it up for my friend group
Instructions unclear
My friends and I downloaded it for a festival and were unsure how to use it. The built in tutorials didn’t make a lot of sense, and even when we turned location to always on and switched to festival mode, my friends and I couldn’t see each other. It’s a great idea in theory, but none of the 12 of us could figure it out so it’s safe to say it’s not new user friendly. Really bummed.

Worked until I needed it
Tested it out before a festival. Worked seemingly well. Went to use it just prior to an event. And it’s stuck trying to download something for offline use.
Reinstalled, restarted. Does not work.

LOVE this app
BUDDY made it so easy to stay in touch with my friends, especially at events where service was spotty. The offline chat feature was a game-changer at festivals, and I love how I can drop a Loop to let people know when I’m down to meet up. It’s simple, intuitive, and way better than endlessly texting to coordinate plans. Can’t wait to see what new features they add next! Definitely recommend downloading.

Does not work
This app is supposed to work without service/wifi/data but unfortunately out of 100+ people it didn't work for anyone! We followed the instructions carefully
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i really liked the idea of chatting without wifi backup plan - but was difficult to get my friends to download. the app seems super limited in terms of when you would actually need or want to use it beyond emergency no service type situations. imo it’s a p mid wannabe-ish social media app pretending not to be a social media app (and the reviews seem juiced but maybe i’m being too critical)

Great app
Pretty cool app, helps me keep track of my idiot friends. Helps us find cool places to chill.
Love the app!
Let’s me keep in contact when we don’t have service or WiFi!
cool app
great app for meeting up with mates and knowing what’s happening
Great App!
This app has helped me stay connected to my family and friends! Very helpful on sharing my experiences with close ones and keeping me connected with the real world!
Easy to stay connected
This app has helped me stay connected with my friends at events. It is great to see a social app that isn’t focused on how many likes you can get on a picture. I am looking forward to seeing what other features they come out with.
A Must Have For Any Events!
Any time I go to a festival, a sporting event, anything with large crowds, it's nearly impossible to keep in touch with my group. This app makes that possible! I'm definitely using it from now on and highly recommend to everyone else as well!
Love it!
I feel better and safer having this app at my favorite festivals and events!
Highly recommend
Great app to just stay up to speed with crew without the noise!
can find my friends w/o service!!!!!
literally so incredible. went to a festival with terrible service and could still chat with my friends w/o signal or wifi. game changer fr.
