## What is Flock?

Find your crew in seconds — even when the signal's dead.

  Flock is the live finder built for festivals, raves, and anywhere a pile of people turn a simple "meet you at the gate" into an hour
  of lost friends. Open the app, pick who you're looking for, and follow the arrow. No cell signal required.

  WHY IT WORKS WHERE OTHER APPS DON'T

  • Bluetooth-first: Flock finds your people over Bluetooth LE, so it keeps working when the network is hammered, the campsite has no
  bars, or the venue is underground.
  • UWB precision: on iPhones that support Ultra-Wideband, Flock locks onto your friend with ~10cm accuracy and a live direction arrow
  that updates as you move.
  • GPS when you need range: if you're kilometres apart, Flock uses GPS to get you close, then hands off to Bluetooth for the last 50
  metres.
  • Private by design: your real-time location is never stored on our servers. It goes to your crew and nowhere else.

  FLOCK FEATURES

  • Live finder with distance + compass arrow
  • Crew chat that works over mesh relay
  • Flares: ping your location + vibe in one tap ("Lost", "Bar time", "At the rail", "Tent")
  • Rally points: drop a pin everyone in the flock can follow
  • SOS: fire an alert to your whole flock when you need backup
  • Festival badges + attendance history
  • QR-code friend add that works offline
  • No ads. No tracking. No location history.

  BUILT FOR

  • Festival squads (Primavera, Tomorrowland, Glastonbury, whatever your weekend is)
  • Group trips where "I'll be right back" always turns into 30 minutes
  • Concerts, sports events, airports, ski weekends, any crowd
  • Friends who actually want to find each other

  PRIVACY

  Flock is opt-in, per-flock. You choose when you're sharing. We never sell your data, never show ads, never track you outside the app.
   Full policy at https://flock-app.app/privacy.

  Flock is free and stays free for the core finder.

  Stop shouting names over bassline. Just find each other.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.12.0 — 2026-08-03

Signing up is more reliable — a dropped connection no longer leaves you stuck or staring at a cryptic error, and if your account was created we say so instead of sending you round in circles. We also fixed a bug that could quietly log you out mid-festival. Your festival map now has 3D stages and scenery, lineups no longer invent times for sets that have none, there's a nudge on Home to pick your sets, and we fixed an Android bug that could close the app while finding your crew.

### 1.11.0 — 2026-07-24

• Finding someone is smoother and clearer: the compass direction is steadier, and now tells you which way to turn in plain words ("Head right", "Straight ahead") instead of compass headings.
• On the map, you can now see which way you're facing, and the map turns with you — so the way forward is always "up".
• Clearer first run: Flock explains why it needs your location right when you start finding your crew, instead of a cold prompt.
• The bottom tabs are now labelled, so it's obvious where everything is.
• Stability and analytics improvements.

### 1.10.1 — 2026-07-14

When you're finding someone, the direction line now always points the right way — even when they scroll off the edge of the map.

Clearer location status: if something needs attention, Flock tells you exactly where to fix it — your phone's settings or Flock's own — instead of a vague nudge.

Your crew stay on the map more reliably while Flock is in your pocket.

Stability and background-tracking improvements.

### 1.10.0 — 2026-07-13

1.10.0 — The real map, and the whole crew on it

• New Map view: see your crew on the actual venue — real streets and stages, with the festival artwork overlaid. Flip between Venue and Map anytime.
• Finding someone now keeps you BOTH on screen, always — the map follows and zooms as you move toward each other.
• Big groups stay readable: crew standing together collapse into a tappable cluster instead of a pile of avatars.
• Crew no longer vanish from the map when their app is in the background.
• Invite your crew in one tap — share to WhatsApp or any app, or let friends scan your QR code. Invite links open a proper page and your code is picked up automatically after install.
• Creating a flock now walks you through getting your people in.
• Fixed your own status showing as offline, plus rare crashes around Bluetooth permissions and the compass.

### 1.9.0 — 2026-07-11

1.9.0 — Bring the whole crew

• Invite your crew in one tap — share straight to WhatsApp or any app, or let friends scan your QR code on the spot.
• Invite links now open a proper invite page, and the app picks your code up automatically after install — no more retyping.
• Creating a flock now walks you through getting your people in.
• Finder polish: you are pinned lower with a cleaner direction line, and the home minimap lies flat.
• Fixed your own status showing as offline while you were connected.
• Squashed rare crashes around Bluetooth permissions on Android and the compass.
