Revolutionary App 'BUDDY' Enhances Connection and Safety at Ocaso Festival

Los Flying Kites’ Phoebe Skye Fosmo spearheads local introduction of Innovative Social Utility App that keeps festival goers connected even without cell or WiFi

JACO, PUNTARENAS, COSTA RICA, January 30, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- BUDDY, a revolutionary social utility app that can be used for connection and safety in crowds, is set to make its Costa Rica launch at the Ocaso Underground Music Festival in Jacó, Costa Rica, from January 31 to February 1, 2025.

Spearheading the local launch is Phoebe Skye Fosmo, lead vocalist of the indie pop-electro band Los Flying Kites. As an advocate for festival safety, Phoebe emphasizes the importance of integrating technology to enhance the safety and well-being of festival-goers.

Claire, CEO of BUDDY and member of the Electronic Music Alliance (EMA), has expressed enthusiasm about the partnership and adds, "Notably, the app operates without the need for Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity, ensuring continuous functionality even in areas with limited reception—a crucial advantage for festival environments.”​

Revolutionizing connection, BUDDY is the world’s first social utility app built for and with Gen Z to get people off their phones and living IRL experiences with ease. The location-based app’s patented technology keeps people connected with their private network of friends, even if cellular and WiFi services are failing. The more users in an area, the stronger and more reliable the BUDDY network will be.

The Ocaso Festival, renowned for its support of the Central American electronic music scene, will take place at the Anfiteatro Ocaso this Friday and Saturday.
