How it works

See how a playground afternoon comes together

Have a look at your friends’ plans, share where you’re heading or let someone know you’re coming too. Here’s where to find each step in the app.

  1. Today

    See who’s out and about

    Open “Today” to see which friends are at the playground or going later. Each person has their own update, with their place and approximate time.

    Tap “View details” on a place to see its map and your friends’ updates. You can decide whether it fits your afternoon before getting everyone ready.

  2. Share

    Let friends know where to find you

    Tap “Share” at the bottom and choose “We’re here now” or “We’re going later”. Pick your playground and say roughly how long you’ll stay.

    For a visit that starts now, “Tell friends” shares your update. You can add a note or details about your children if you want to.

    The current-visit form: Maple Grove, a one-hour stay, optional details and the Tell friends button.

    Come along or ask a quick question

    Your friends are already at the playground? Tap “We’re coming too” on your friend’s update, choose your arrival time and length of stay, then confirm.

    You’ll share your own visit to the same place. Use “Replies” if you want to ask something first, like whether they’re by the swings.

  4. Friends

    Bring your friends along

    Open “Friends” and start an invitation. Send your personal invitation to someone you know. Once they accept, you can see each other’s updates.

    Standing next to each other? You can also use a QR code. The screenshot shows an example of a personal invitation code.
