About

MapMeet

Read full description

Your city is full of things happening tonight. MapMeet puts them on one map. Open the app and look around you: someone's coffee walk on Saturday morning, a five-a-side game one player short, a gig at the venue down the road. Tap a pin, join, and you are in the group chat with everyone else who is going. MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN Pin an event in under a minute. Pick an emoji, drop it on the map, set a time. Make it public, or private and invite-only. Cap the numbers if space is tight. Long-press anywhere on the map to drop a pin without opening a single menu. EVERY EVENT COMES WITH A CHAT Join an event and its group chat opens with it. Send a voice message when typing is too slow, and play others back at 1.5x or 2x when you are catching up. Run a poll to settle where and when. An hour before the start, a "Who's coming?" poll appears on its own. CONCERTS, FESTIVALS, THEATRE, STAND-UP Alongside what people pin themselves, MapMeet shows public events from karabas.com across Ukraine — the same map, the same Join button, with a link through to tickets when you want them. FIND YOUR PEOPLE Add friends, start a group chat, or message anyone directly. Profiles carry a rating and anonymous reviews, so you have some idea who you are meeting before you go. YOU DECIDE WHO SEES WHAT Choose who can see the events you are attending: everyone, friends only, or nobody at all. Block someone and they can no longer message you or see where you will be. Report a profile and a person reviews it — we do not leave that to a machine. UKRAINIAN AND ENGLISH, PROPERLY Switch language in Settings and the whole app follows, dates and times included. Light and dark themes, both hand-tuned. MapMeet is free. Your location is used on your device to centre the map and sort events by distance — it is not uploaded or stored. Events you pin are public because that is the point of them; nothing else about you is.
