Farrh

Read full description

Farrh is a live map that shows you where people are and what is happening around you right now — no plans, no guessing. The app interface is in Arabic and is built for Saudi Arabia. • A map that moves Open the app and you are at the center of the map, with nearby people and places around you — everything updates as it happens. • Crowd glow Everyone who opens Farrh in an area makes it glow brighter, without revealing who they are. The color shifts from quiet to crowded, so you know where the movement is before you leave the house. Tap a halo to see who is there among the people who chose to be visible. • Real places Restaurants, cafes and events with photos, ratings and reviews from people who actually went. Search any place by name or address, and filter by distance and category. • Follow, chat and review Message anyone directly without needing a mutual follow, and share your take on places with photos and video. The app tells you when someone you follow is nearby. • Coincidence If you visit a place someone else visited on the same day, the app lets you know — but only when you have both switched the feature on. It is off by default. • You control your visibility Being visible is your choice at any moment. Ghost mode hides you from the map instantly, and until you choose to appear you are only a number inside the crowd glow. Distance is never reported below 100 meters. • Completely free No subscriptions, no paid features. We do not sell your data, and we answer every report or message within 24 hours.
