www.whowhereapp.com

Here's what it does:

-Discover who is flying.
-Search by buddy list.
-Tap a buddy’s name for their full schedule.
-Customize your buddy list at anytime by adding or eliminating names.
-Customize notifications from all, some or none of your buddies.
-Discover who is flying at your favorite locations.
-Use a radius search or specific location search for out-of-town events.
-Check to see who’s there at any time.
-Make the spot one of your favorites.
-Make changes to the name, location or permitted activities of the venue.
-Users can create new sites on the fly and edit any site in the system. Users keep the data fresh.
-Log your flight plan for any venue in 5 seconds.
-Setup your flight schedule for tomorrow or the entire year!
-Every venue has a map, list of permitted flight activities and a primary and secondary name field.
-Set your system up to automatically generate a notice the moment you arrive at your flying site.
-Set up buddy notification to receive instant messages when your buddies check into a flying site or schedule an upcoming flight plan.
-Your favorite spots show up first for easy access.
-Automatically post your flight status to Twitter and Facebook.

Give it a try. It's free and I think you'll use it (as long as your friends use it of course).

Status: offline 		This app looks very promising. I just downloaded it to play with and see if its something the guys I fly with could use rather than texting each other to coordinate flying times.

I do have one question... For now. We fly quite a bit at my house so I added it as "My Spot" and later found it in the "radius search". Does this only come up in my radius search or is my private field now part of the database for anybody that uses this app?

Status: offline 		I can see how that needs to work.

Sure I'm not the only guy who, for the sake of needing to keep things low key, would like to keep his "spot" limited to just a couple guys. Would be better if there was an option when creating a new spot of either making it visible or hidden in the database. When a guy has his list of buddies he can share the hidden spot(s) he created with all or just a couple.

Status: offline 		Interesting. To do that would be a bit of programming. On the other hand there are thousands of venues in the database so in many ways your venue is hidden in plain sight.

I will chat with my team about how to filter venues to be seen only by buddies.

But only a few show up in a 30 mi radius search. Just didn't want people knocking on my door asking if they can fly here. The workaround for now is, I edited the map and dropped the pin a few miles from my house.

I think we are going to modify the code to let users mark a venue "Private" so it only displays for that user and his buddies. Great suggestion!
