## What is FestMates?

FestMates is a festival companion built for people who actually go to festivals. Browse the lineup, build a personal day plan, set reminders, find your tent on the map, keep track of your crew, and share everything with the friends you came with. Works offline once you've loaded a festival, so it keeps working when the festival site doesn't.

LINEUP & TIMETABLE
See the full lineup with stage and time, grouped by day. Switch between by-time and by-stage views. Day headers stay visible as you scroll, and the navigation bar shows which day you're looking at. Times render in your device timezone with a clear hint when you're in a different timezone from the festival.

YOUR DAY PLAN
Tap the star on any set to add it to your day. Open My Plan to see only the events you saved, grouped by festival day. Overlapping sets get an informational badge ("overlaps 45m with Band X") so you can pick which one to catch and which to leave halfway. A live "Next up" card surfaces the soonest set you saved while you're at the festival.

REMINDERS
Set a per-event reminder bell on any set in your plan. Pick your lead time once (5, 10, 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes before) and every reminder follows it. Reminders work even when you have no signal at the festival site.

MAP
A real interactive map with custom stage pins and your live location. Stage pins pulse and show what's currently playing. When the live act is on your day plan, the pin and label switch to a stronger highlight so you don't miss it. Tap any pin for a card with the schedule for that stage.

CREW
Start or join a Crew with the friends you're at the festival with, no accounts needed. See where everyone is on the live map, know who's arrived, and share your tent location so people can find their way back. Your position is encrypted on your device before it's shared, only sent while the app is open, and a Crew disappears on its own once the festival is over.

DROP YOUR OWN PINS
Drop a pin where your tent is. Drop pins for the meeting point, the food truck you liked, the spot where you parked. Customise the icon. Share one pin or several at once with friends via a share link. They tap, the pins land on their map.

DISCOVER FESTIVALS
A world map of every festival in the app. Tap a pin to see banner, dates, stage count, and a preview of the festival map. Filter by upcoming, past, or the ones you marked as going.

SHARE YOUR PLAN
Send your day plan to a friend with a single share link. They open the link, see the same lineup with your picks highlighted, and merge it into their own plan with one tap. No account needed on either side.

NOTES
Jot down a note on any event: the song you just heard, who you came with, where to meet up after. Notes stay with the event and are also collected on a dedicated Notes screen so you can find them later.

ADD YOUR OWN FESTIVAL
Don't see your festival yet? Add it yourself. Paste a link or a schedule and FestMates builds the timetable, map, and checklist for you, the same way it does for our own festivals. You can fix anything the import got wrong, and manage or update it anytime.

OFFLINE-READY
When you say you're going to a festival, the app quietly downloads the full lineup, banner images, FAQ, and event artwork in the background. Once that's done, browsing, opening events, and using the map all work without a connection. Festival sites have terrible reception. The app plans for that.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no sign-up, and no ads. Saved festivals, day plans, pins, and notes are stored on your phone. Sharing your location with a Crew is optional, encrypted on your device, and only ever active while the app is open. We collect anonymous error and usage data to make the app more reliable, with no advertising identifier and nothing tied to you.

LANGUAGES
English, German, Spanish, French, Italian.

- New: Crew. Share your live location with friends at a festival, no accounts, no signing up. Start a crew or join one by link or QR code, see everyone on the live map, and know who's arrived and who's left. Approve who joins your crew, set your status (at a stage, at the tent, wherever), and share your tent location so people can find their way back
- New: add your own festival. Don't see your festival in the app yet? Import it yourself: paste a link or a line-up file, or paste in the schedule as text, and the app builds the timetable, map pins, and checklist for you, just like our own festivals. Fix anything the import got wrong before saving it
- New: manage the festivals you've added. Edit details, correct the line-up, update stage locations, and send your version back to us for review, all from one place. Track whether your submission is pending, approved, or needs another look
- Redesigned Festival mode. While you're at a festival, the Festivals tab becomes a single wheel of quick actions (Plan, Map, Notes, Crew, Help, and more) so everything you need on-site is one flick away instead of buried in menus
- Redesigned Home. Festival info screens are reorganised end to end for a clearer, faster layout
- Onboarding now covers Crew and adding your own festival, so new goers know both are there from their first launch
- Empty states across My Plan, Notes, Recap, and Reminders now show you what to do next instead of just sitting blank
- Suggest where a stage or facility actually is on the map if the organiser's placement looks off
- Smarter offline handling: the app recovers properly from a lost connection instead of getting stuck or losing your saved data
- Faster festival list loading, smoother map interactions
- Countless small fixes and polish across different screens
