Amazingly useful app on the playa

I actually made it to a bunch of classes that I would never have remembered or discovered had it not been for this app. Super useful. My only complaint is that it would crash a bit more frequently that I would have liked but it always came back to where I was. Annoying but easy to work around. The info was valuable and I was able to locate food anywhere in the playa when needed. How fun :) the calendar reminders were amazing too and the map locator was extremely helpful when we got lost out in deep playa and were trying to figure out the best way back. Overall, very happy and a must for any burner to use for next year. The books are a nice keepsake but this is actually useful!

Amazing app that brought a ton of extra goodness to my last burn

And already for 2024 is helping me a lot (even with the locations still restricted). I wish there was a way for folks going up to build to unlock a bit earlier. I was really hoping to print it some paper-based adventure routes using data from the app. But I realize the embargo on location data has to do with BM Org rules, not the developer.I also feel like search isn’t working quite as well as it used to. But that’s a small complaint relative to how great this app is.

This app is a must have for BRC navigation.

I used this in 2023 and it was crucial to finding my way around, and getting to events and finding food if I was hungry and away from camp. Also when mudpocalypse threw all our chips in the air, and the city was halfway deconstructed I was able to find my way around after the man and temple burned. It is really easy to get disoriented sometimes after a night of getting wonky and wild, and this app certainly helps a ton. Great job developers! 5 stars for you! Many blessings! See you in the dust!

On burn night with the chaos of the art car circle, it’s almost impossible to find my bike, so I learned to park it close/near an art installation over the years, then find my way back to it. I had no idea this app was going to actually work in the deep playa, it saved me A TON of time and I was able to see/find and identify so much more art because of it. So THANKS YOU SO MUCH! It’s perfect being able to navigate around the city when all the signs are down and scheduled activities. Well done.
