Then in the app: Make an itinerary, Start from the plan you have, and paste it in. It lays the days out for you to check.
How it goes
From the group chat to the photos afterwards.
Before
Copy the template, paste it into the app and check the days. Send one code, and everyone picks their name from your list.
On the day
Today shows what is on now, what is next and when to leave. Change a time and everybody is told.
After
Everyone's photos land on the activity they were taken at, so it reads back in order.
The weekend, in the group chat
Four questions you will get, and where the app answers each one.

Questions
Anything else: support@checktheapp.net
Is there an app for planning a festival with friends?
Yes. Check The App holds the group's plan: which sets, where to meet, and the tickets for each. Paste this template in and send everyone one code.
Does it show where my friends are?
No. It shows the plan and where to meet, never where anyone is.
Does it work with no signal?
Yes. The plan is kept on every phone, so it still opens.
Can different people see different sets?
Yes. Put who is going on each set, and each person's plan opens on their own.
Where do the tickets go?
On their activity: tickets, parking passes and booking references sit with the thing they are for.
Is it only for festivals?
No. A gig, a match day, a race weekend or a conference works the same way: times, places, who is going, and where to meet.
What does it cost?
Nothing while we launch, for up to 30 people.
