BLUF Navigator
Social Networking
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
BLUF Navigator is the official app from the Breeches and Leather Uniform Club.
With Navigator, you can see who else is online, exchange messages, and view profiles. The BLUF Calendar is included too, allowing you to see which events are coming up, and you can add them to your Travel Plans with just one tap.
Upload photos direct from your device to your BLUF profile, share your location with other members, and update your profile text too. You can manage your BLUF account, take part in group chats, and use the app as a secure way to log in to the web site too.
To use BLUF Navigator, you need to be an existing member of BLUF, the Breeches and Leather Uniform Fanclub. Full details of how to join are on our website.
