Some Cows is the fun, free way to mark where you've seen cows — and now it's a game you can win. Press and hold the map to drop a pin right where the cows are. Every pin joins one big shared map of sightings from spotters everywhere. NEW: COW BINGO Every month brings a fresh card of nine spotting challenges — spot a goat, log two sightings in one day, check in at a friend's pin. Complete a row for a BINGO; fill the whole card for a blackout. Everyone plays the same card, so may the best spotter win. NO SIGNAL? KEEP SPOTTING Deep in a dead zone? Drops and check-ins save on your phone and sync themselves when you're back in coverage — and they still count for the day you actually spotted them. BUILD YOUR FIELD GUIDE Cows are just the beginning. Sheep, horses, goats, pigs, llamas, donkeys, chickens — spot all the animal types to complete your collection. KEEP YOUR STREAK Spot something every week to keep your weekly streak alive. The flame on the map tells you when it's on the line. SPOT TOGETHER • Climb global, regional, and friends-only leaderboards • Follow friends and form herds — private groups with an invite code • Record trips and share a summary page with anyone • Share any sighting as a link — no app needed to view it EVERYTHING ELSE • Press & hold to drop a pin in seconds — start instantly, no account required • A follow-me map that keeps up as you move • Tap any pin to see when and where it was spotted, with photos • Check in when you see someone else's cows ("I saw them too!") • Leave a tip in the tip jar to earn a supporter badge on the leaderboard Cows are out there.
