Field notes
The site walks through a rally-point workflow: hold on the map, set a meeting spot, add a recognizable note, and end the rally when the group is together. It also describes temporary statuses for needs such as water or charging, plus battery-saver updates at roughly one-minute intervals. These are presented as app features; the homepage says the iPhone beta is opening soon.
