BC Tent Finder is currently only available for Apple users, while Android users can download Festival Buddy for much the same experience – GPS pinning for multiple locations as well as a torch function for successful handling of tent zip once you actually find it.

With that in mind, we compiled a few other useful apps for festival season.

The most useful mobile apps for festivals

For friends
Find my Friends does what you’d imagine: you and your group can share locations, give real-time updates and get directions. Find it on Apple and Google Play.

For first aid
First Aid by British Red Cross offers simple, easy advice on 18 everyday first aid scenarios and doesn’t require an internet connection once downloaded. Meanwhile, CitizenAid is designed to help people in emergency situations, such as terrorist attacks. It advises on how to react safely, pass effective messages to the emergency services, prioritise the injured and give life-saving first aid. Please note: this version is designed for UK users.

For battery life
Battery Doctor tells you exactly how much juice you’ve got left (and how long that means time-wise) and shuts down unnecessary charge-draining apps. Find it on Apple and Google Play.

For music
Desperate to remember a track by a band you’ve only just discovered? Make sure you’ve got Shazam or Soundhound ready to go: they identify tunes and keep them in your search history.
