Summer is upon us once more, and thousands of people will be heading to music festivals all over the globe. There is something very bucket list about attending a music festival, something you really need to do at least once in your life. For others festivals are summer, and they rock up to several every year. Gone are the days of sneaking under the perimeter fence and being totally lost to the outside world for days at a time. Now it is all about sharing the experience via social media, so mobile phones become a must, and how much easier is it to find your friends when you get lost if you can just text them. So here is a rundown of some of the best festival apps for 2018.

Brolly
.

So, first things first, before you transform into a carefree festival goer, it is time to protect the devices you are taking with you. Download Brolly to your device and you will be able to purchase the best level of insurance to ensure that should you lose or break your phone it will be covered for repair or replacement.

Battery Doctor Pro
.
.
Now, it has to be said that there are not that many plug sockets in fields. Charging banks are generally provided, and you can, of course, take battery packs (pre-charged) with you, but extending the life of your battery is a total bonus. This smart app gives you the edge. Instal it before you go, and it will help you work out which apps are battery hungry and draining your power. You could either change the settings or take a back up of the phone then uninstall those apps if they are not going to get used at the festival.

Find My Friends
.
.
So, as we mentioned before you could just text or call a friend if you get separated, but to be honest if they are rocking out they may not see the text and the chances of hearing a call are frankly worse than 0%. You will need to make sure you all have your GPS up and running, but it can be a whole new festival activity. Track the red dot of your friend until you are reunited once more. This app works on both droid and iOS, and it doesn’t matter what phone your friends have.

Find My Tent
.
.
Another massive festival problem is getting so lost you cannot find your tent, even without a drink a sea full of tents can be somewhat daunting and with everyone using tent markers it kinds makes it an impossible task. Thankfully Tent Finder has the solution and as you will already have your GPS set up your tent, once set up, just becomes another red dot you can track until you are safely back. If you are really struggling there is also a compass to push you in the right direction, and you do not have to have a signal for it to work.
