BuddySOS for nightlife and bar crawls
Going out should not end with one friend lost and no one knowing where.
What it is
BuddySOS is a personal safety app for nightlife: bar crawls, club nights, birthday outings, and late-night events. It provides live GPS sharing among trusted friends and a one-tap SOS that works while the phone is locked.
Late-night outings have the highest risk of someone getting separated, walking somewhere alone, or making a decision in the moment that they regret in the morning. A BuddySOS group keeps everyone connected through the night and gives each person a one-tap way to call for help.
Why standard apps fall short here
- One friend wanders off and no one notices for 20 minutes.
- Group splits between two bars and the chat thread goes silent.
- End-of-night ride-share coordination is a mess.
- Personal safety incidents happen when one person walks alone.
What BuddySOS gives you
- Live GPS for the group while you are out, including who left for the next bar.
- One-tap SOS that keeps broadcasting after you lock your phone. Built for moments when using your phone is itself the risk.
- Private by default. Visible to your group only.
- Battery Saver Mode for a long night.

Questions about using BuddySOS at nightlife & bar crawls
Is BuddySOS like a panic button?
BuddySOS includes a one-tap SOS button that works like a panic button. It alerts each person in your trusted group with your GPS location, and keeps broadcasting after you lock your phone. The difference is your alert goes to the friends you are with. Not a paid monitoring service.
Will my location be visible to people I don't know?
No. Your location is only visible to people in groups you have explicitly joined. Strangers, the public, and BuddySOS users outside your group cannot see where you are. You can leave a group or stop sharing at any time.
Free for groups. Forever.
