Lost your friends at a festival? Tired of texting βwhere are you?β over and over? Compass is the crew finder that actually works β even in crowded venues where cell signal fails. How It Works Create a crew, share the join code with your friends, and everyoneβs location appears on your compass. A simple arrow points you toward each friend, showing exactly how far away they are. No complicated maps No guessing Just follow the arrow Find Friends When GPS Isnβt Enough Compass uses Bluetooth proximity detection when youβre nearby. Inside buildings, underground, or in dense crowds where GPS struggles, Bluetooth takes over to guide you those last few meters. Youβll feel haptic pulses that speed up as you get closer β like a real-life game of hot and cold. Built for Events Real-time location sharing with your crew Works at concerts, festivals, theme parks, and large venues Distance shown in feet so you know exactly how far to walk Warmer / colder feedback as you get closer Battery-friendly background updates Privacy First Your location is only shared with people you invite to your crew. No strangers No public profiles No selling your data Create a crew, share the code, and only those people can see where you are. Perfect For Music festivals and concerts Theme parks and large venues Conventions and conferences Camping trips and outdoor adventures Any time you need to find your people Stop wandering. Stop texting. Just open Compass and go find your crew.
